When you see this kind of thing on the stone, don't miss it. It's famous. Shimi is very valuable.

For friends in rural areas, there is always a different emotion for wild vegetables and game, especially like our grandma, it can be said that wild vegetables on the edge of the field are like a few treasures. Some wild vegetables are still common today, but others are rare because of the high requirements for the growing environment. Today, I would like to introduce to you a kind of wild vegetable I ate in the countryside when I was a child. It is both a vegetable and a medicinal herb. It is well-known in Guangdong, and it is inseparable from making soup all the year round.

This kind of wild vegetable is called Shimi and its scientific name is stone olive. It always grows in the mountains, but also climbs the attached rock wall to grow, and its vitality is very tenacious. The fruit of Shimi looks like an enlarged version of rice, except that its color is green. Shimi is very effective in this special growing environment. In rural areas, farmers always call Shimi "Xiantao". That is because farmers always regard Shimi as a kind of health care medicine. When they were very poor when they were young, farmers simply had no extra money to buy nutrition. Old people in rural areas all said that stone rice was very good, so farmers would go deep into the mountains to find stone rice, so that they could eat these natural nutrients without spending money.

In fact, stone rice does have a very good effect, and its edible value is very high. The rich minerals and vitamins in stone rice can supplement the elements that the human body lacks in time, especially stewing stone rice with some meat such as spareribs and local chicken. It can effectively retain the nutrients of stone rice. Even now, many people are looking for wild stone rice to be used for soup or stew. Its nutritional effect is unmatched by many other foods. And in the stew, Shimi's roots, stems, leaves and fruits are all preserved, so as to maximize its nutrition.

In addition to nutritional value, Shimi has medicinal value, such as moistening the lungs, invigorating fluid, reducing fire, and has a certain effect on the treatment of toothache and stomachache. Chinese people believe in the role of dietotherapy, so stone rice is regarded as a very good dual-use material for medicine and food. according to traditional Chinese medicine, stone rice is a cool property, and it can be used to clear away heat and nourish yin in hot and humid areas of the south, so many people like to use stone rice to make soup. Stone rice is divided into fresh and dry products, the price of fresh products is not expensive, about 10 yuan per jin, dry products are more expensive, about 4-5 times that of fresh stone rice.

In the past, Shimi were wild, as long as they were picked without spending money, but now Shimi has begun to increase in value due to people's needs. If you see Shimi on a stone in the wild, don't miss it! Its nutritional value and medicinal value are extremely high, it is a pity to miss it. Have you seen Shimi?
