Have you ever eaten this dish from India that grows old without picking it?

As we all know, eating vegetables regularly is good for our health and balanced nutrition. There are many kinds of vegetables, but few of them are edible and have medicinal value. There is such a kind of vegetable, very delicate, it grows old without picking it for a day, and its output is huge, and it grows one after another. The most important thing is that it has high economic value and medicinal value, so it is called "the king of vegetables". It is now the popular vegetable in the country, coffee sunflower.

Coffee okra, also known as okra, in more than a decade ago, few people have eaten it, because of its special taste and nutritional value, it has become a popular vegetable. Coffee sunflower is also known as "kidney-tonifying dish". Originally from India, it is a tropical vegetable. After it was introduced into China, it was not popular at first. Later, as people gradually found that it has the effects of strengthening the kidney, nourishing the stomach and protecting the stomach, it began to sell well in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and many farmers began to grow it. In my hometown, because it looks like chili, we also call it "foreign chili".

In fact, it has many colors, the more common is green, as well as red and light green, their taste is similar, the anthocyanin content of red okra is higher. The taste of coffee sunflower is very unique. Although it looks like chili, it is not spicy at all. It tastes smooth and tender. It has become a best-selling vegetable in many areas and appears in cuisine everywhere. Because the output of coffee sunflower is very large, and it is very easy to age, people will also process it into a variety of dried vegetables, sold as a snack, is also said to be very popular.

However, the coffee sunflower also has a disadvantage, that is, it grows too fast, so if it is not picked in time, even if it is only a day apart, it will quickly fibrosis, like wood, can not even chew. When you are old, you can't eat it. You can only let it continue to grow and save it for seed harvesting. Fortunately, its seed is very valuable, it can extract oil, and its nutritional value is much higher than ordinary soybean oil and sesame oil. at the same time, it can be used as coffee powder after stir-frying, which is the origin of the name coffee anemone.

Coffee sunflower is full of treasure, its root is a medicinal material, which can relieve cough; the skin has the role of regulating menstruation, and the unique mucus in the fruit can lubricate the intestinal tract, prevent constipation, protect the stomach and nourish the stomach; the seed also has the effect of promoting lactation to improve the lack of milk. The whole plant can clear away heat and detoxify, depending on whether you can use it or not. But for some people, it is better to eat less or eat in moderation. Because it belongs to a vegetable with a relatively cold taste, people with a cold physique cannot eat more.
