Have you ever seen those vegetables that are popular abroad?

When you are shopping in the supermarket, you must have seen a bunch of strange vegetables that don't know what they are or how to eat them. It really doesn't matter if the bones look poisonous. Now that you sincerely ask, pick some vegetables that are not common in China today and tell you what they are and how to eat them.

Roman cauliflower-Roman Cauliflower

This product looks old and terrible, the bones are very strange, if the dense phobia is really a little unbearable, not like a dish, but like a perfect geometric model, from the cruciferous family. This product is in the same family as cabbage?! Well, although it looks strange, it is no different from ordinary cauliflower in taste, and the content of vitamin C is 40% higher than the ordinary one! The method is very simple, just like broccoli broken into small pieces, and then fried with tomatoes is the best, can fight cancer.

Fire ginseng fruit-- Kiwano

I believe many students have seen it, which looks like a big lemon with thorns. It is said that the flesh of the fruit is delicate, juicy and gelatinous, with many green seeds embedded in it and a sweet taste. The seeds of Panax ginseng are covered in gelatin, and the peel is rich in vitamin C and plant fiber. It has a slight fragrance and tastes very refreshing. The way to eat is very simple, cut the top directly, insert the thick straw and suck it directly. Some people say that adding honey tastes delicious and crazy.

Artichoke-Artichoke

Also known as artichoke, although it looks like a pangolin, but this is Compositae. And the edible part is flowers, eating chrysanthemums is embarrassing. Rich in nutrients, especially the most special containing artichoke acid, which can eliminate liver toxins, promote cell regeneration and fat digestion, and has a good treatment for indigestion, which is best for people who drink regularly or have high cholesterol. As for how to eat this thing, you can eat it raw if it is tender, with a walnut flavor, and of course you can cook or stir-fry it. It tastes like bamboo shoots and mushrooms, which is very refreshing.

Spore cabbage-Brussels Sprouts

This can be regarded as very common, also known as Brussels sprouts, is an important vegetable in European countries, but it is still rare in China. Although its taste is not necessarily liked by everyone, spore kale has the highest nutrition among kale vegetables. it is a very good weight loss food, and for common reasons, the price is also very cheap. The only question is, how can it be delicious? Americans just cook it and pour it with gravy, which is too rough. My recommended method is to remove the old leaves, cut them in half, then sprinkle cheese and salt into the oven and bake them over medium heat for 10 minutes. It tastes good. You can try it.

Pear fruit cactus-- Prickly pear

This product is actually a cactus, and its rich phytonutrients and antioxidants have excellent benefits both inside and outside the body. In related experiments, it is found that the antioxidant capacity of pear cactus is 7 times higher than vitamin c, and contains high amounts of vitamin a, b1, b12, D3 and riboflavin, which can promote skin cell regeneration, enhance skin softness and rich in anthocyanins. Cactus fruit can also promote the proliferation and regeneration of normal fiber cells in the human body, which is very helpful to the healing of wounds inside the body and epidermis. The method of eating is also very simple, just break open the skin and eat it. It is said that it will taste better if you freeze it.

Leek-Leek

Some people say, hey, this is green onion. Nonono, it's too young and easy, which is quite different from our Chinese scallions. However, the onions, garlic and leeks themselves belong to the lily family. In the final analysis, they do look alike and are not easy to score, but there are no green onions and leeks sold in British supermarkets. Leek nutrition is actually more green leaves, but it is often cut off to sell only green onion, which is a pity. This leek can be used as green onion, but it doesn't taste so much, so you can make soup or something. The way I recommend eating it is scrambled eggs with leeks.

Arugula-Rocket

This thing has a strange name, but I'm afraid everyone in the United States has eaten it. It is a very common salad dish and was originally an European specialty. Because it has a strong sesame flavor (er, although I don't think so, but people say it is), so the Chinese name is arugula. It has the effect of clearing heat and liver, moistening lungs and relieving cough, clear vision and diuresis. If you have poor eyesight or cough for a long time, it is best to eat more arugula. This dish is seldom sold separately. It is usually put directly in a mixed salad and can be eaten by mixing it.

Bamboo squash, walnut pumpkin, east pumpkin-Butternut Squash

At first glance, it looks like a gourd, but it looks like a suspected pumpkin and tastes like zucchini. I argued with my friends about what this thing should be, and finally found the answer in Google. The name of the vegetable is Cucurbitaceae pumpkin, which is a variety of immature zucchini, so everyone is right. Although the color is the color of pumpkin, let's treat it as zucchini. Meat stuffing is perfect. If you stir-fry directly, remember to put some sugar, of course, and the mess in the north, know how to raise your hand.
