The leaves of this plant can be used not only as delicacies but also as precious traditional Chinese medicines.

Today, I would like to introduce a kind of plant to you. I don't know if there is one in your hometown. There are many in my mother's home in Yunnan, and I only thought of it today. Because it was behind our neighbor's house, it was always with us when we were young, and now it has been married for many years. I miss it very much, so I called my mother about this plant. The leaves of this plant can not only serve as delicious food, but also have high medicinal value. Is a precious traditional Chinese medicine, its name is Broussonetia papyrifera.

Broussonetia papyrifera is a deciduous tree of Moraceae. It grows and propagates very fast, and its roots walk horizontally. It is everywhere in two years. It is very tall. Without a specific space, it can grow to more than 10 meters. The stem is stout, the whole plant has white juice like milk, and the leaf surface is a little rough. It can be picked in spring and summer. It blossoms in April-May, and the flowers are spiked like caterpillars. From June to July, the fruit changes from green to red. The surface is rough and looks like red bayberry, which is relatively widely distributed at present.

In my memory, there are 5-6 Broussonetia papyrifera trees behind the neighbor's house, which have been growing there all the time. Their roots are very strong and grow horizontally, growing from bottom to top to my house's fields and ridges. In less than two years, my family's land has grown a lot. In order to stop it from growing too fast and grabbing land, we also cut off the surplus, leaving only a few trees on the ridges to prevent soil erosion. The leaves of Broussonetia papyrifera are covered with treasures. The leaves pick tender leaf buds in spring and summer. After blanching, they can be fried, salad, or shredded to make meat stuffing to make dumplings. It tastes particularly beautiful. It can be harvested about 8 times a year, and it is much better. Now talk about its flower spikes, which can cook delicious food, but it is a little troublesome. Every time you need to use it, you first use washed flower ears, wrapped in flour or egg liquid steamed out of the pot. It's used for cold dressing or stir-fried meat, and it tastes good.
