Can the common banana in the countryside be eaten? What's the use?

Plantain is a common wild vegetable in rural areas of China. Bananas can be eaten when they are young, and they are dug back to eat every spring. In fact, plantain is not only a kind of wild vegetable, but also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the functions of diminishing inflammation, stopping dysentery and diuresis.

Bananas like to grow in fields and roadsides, where the roadside bananas grow the most. The plantain seedlings in spring are dug back and blanched with water, and then they can be dipped in sauce, cold salad, fried, or made into buns. The taste is slippery and there is no other special taste. Now people like to eat wild vegetables without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so many people come to the countryside to dig banana seedlings every spring. Young plantains can be eaten not only by us, but also by sheep in spring. When I was a child, I used inexhaustible plantains to feed pigs.

I heard from an elder that in the early days, there were few doctors and medicines, and this banana also saved the lives of his old woman and children. It turned out that the elder's wife had loose bowels after giving birth to a child, and how to recuperate it didn't work. Not only are adults thin, but children also have no milk to eat. At that time, there were no doctors and hospitals in the ravine. Seeing that adults and children were in danger, an old man in the village suggested trying to boil water with plantains, so the old man dug plantains and went home to boil water. Unexpectedly, his wife was cured after drinking it twice. Therefore, this elder has a special feeling for banana, because banana is a life-saving grass.

I didn't make up the above story, it's a true story, and my elders told me personally. As for how much plantain is used, people nowadays pay attention to health preservation, so I'd better consult a doctor before using it. After all, in my elder days, as long as you can cure diseases, there is no accurate dose at all. Don't follow suit.

Can the common banana in rural areas be eaten? Plantain, as a non-toxic Chinese herbal medicine, is definitely edible. Now many people pay attention to health care. It is generally believed that as long as they are wild vegetables, they all have health care value. Is that really the case? The medicinal and therapeutic effects of Plantago asiatica are briefly introduced as follows for reference.

Can plantain be eaten?

Plantain is a common wild plant, which is distributed in most parts of China. Belongs to the genus Plantago, including Plantago and Plantago. Can plantain be eaten? Sure, but it doesn't taste good. I went to a farmhouse to eat local dishes this spring, and one of them was fried in front of the car. It tastes tough and rough, and it's really not delicious, not delicious at all. I think this is probably the reason why people dig shepherd's purse and dandelion to satisfy their hunger instead of eating banana. Even now, there are no fresh plantains for sale in the vegetable market. I think saying banana is delicious is just talk. In fact, few people eat plantains as vegetables.

What's the use of plantain?

The use of plantain lies in its medicinal value. It is a good medicine for some diseases. Plantain is sweet and cold in nature and belongs to cold medicine. "Heat is cold", so plantain has the effect of clearing away heat. In the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat edema and oliguria caused by damp-heat accumulation, hot stranguria pain and urinary system infection, and the curative effect is good. In addition, plantain also has the functions of clearing away heat and cooling blood, detoxifying and resolving phlegm, so it has a good curative effect on diarrhea due to summer heat, cough due to phlegm heat, epistaxis due to hematemesis due to blood heat, carbuncle, swelling, sore and poison.

Plantain is a cold medicine, which is mainly used for patients with fever and cold disease. For example, diarrhea caused by spleen yang deficiency and diarrhea caused by summer dampness are two symptoms. If you use plantain to treat diarrhea caused by spleen-yang deficiency, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury. Therefore, people with cold stomach, spleen yang deficiency and yang deficiency should take it carefully!

Any blind Chinese medicine practitioner has his own bias. Plantain is a cold medicine and a good medicine for treating fever, but it is not suitable for colds. Everyone should pay attention to this!

This kind of banana, which is common in the village, grows very tenaciously, and it is found everywhere in the field, in front of the house and behind the ditch. Among the "weeds" that are useful to people, besides dandelion, plantain is the most. The banana I know is not only edible, but also very useful.

First, the edible value!

According to ancient records, young leaves of plantain were eaten as vegetables a long time ago, and now villagers are the same, picking them and eating them as vegetables. The memory of eating banana remains in childhood images.

At that time, when my mother was busy with farm work, she would dig some fresh plantains in the field and take them home to wash and cook. I've made garlic and Chili oil salad, vegetarian soup, pork belly stir-fry, steamed stuffed bun, jiaozi. In this respect, when I was a child, my taste buds were heavy, and I liked to eat small plantains cooked in hot water and cooled with Chili oil. When I grow up, my mother has time to cook plantain vegetables, and I like to eat them all.

Second, it has a wide range of uses!

According to Compendium of Materia Medica, plantain is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. I have a deep impression and affection for plantain, not because I eat it as delicious food. When I was a child, I was actually full of disgust.

When I was a child, I was very naughty and didn't listen to my parents. In autumn, I am a little hot and naked. Or go to the cold river to catch fish; Or sleep on the roof at night, or eat too much, eat too much pepper, and so on. So I often catch a cold, have a sore throat and cough, so I shed tears for my mother. Mother will dig some plantains with ears in the ground and bring them back to boil water for me to drink. Forget it! During that time, my mother simply made soup with plantains and cooked with plantains. A few days later, her throat stopped hurting and she stopped coughing. Since then, I have no good impression of the taste of plantain-but it is still very good to use old plantain and put some sugar in boiling water as tea.

Third, planting prospects!

Plantain is widely used. In some places, we also buy sun-dried plantain, which is said to be a medicine for diminishing inflammation and reducing fire. To this end, I curiously asked the owner of the banana pharmacy about the planting value of banana.

Although plantain is said to have certain planting value, it can't be used here. Because there is no related manufacturing industry in the local area, the key problem is that banana grows in the wild, with strong growth ability, not a scarce resource, and the added value of planting is not great. At present, some people specialize in planting plantains in some areas, because some related enterprises buy and use plantains, but the demand is limited and the planting scale is not large.

Banana is very common in rural areas, and there is almost no requirement for soil. Green can be seen everywhere after the rain in spring and summer. Plantago, also known as Trifolium pratense, is called "Marco Leaf" in our hometown. It is a popular wild vegetable and can be eaten in various ways. There is also a certain medicinal effect, which can increase the excretion of water in humans, dogs and rabbits, temporarily increase intestinal mucus, stimulate the excretion of urine and uric acid, and have diuretic effect.

1 edible method

A. Cooking hot pot As a southerner who likes to eat hot pot, he can cook hot pot almost anything. It is a very good choice to cook hot pot with plantain. In my hometown county, 15 yuan's empty self-help small hot pot restaurant has long been robbed of all the bananas.

B. The banana with sufficient moisture in jiaozi is very tender. After cleaning, remove the old part. Blanch it with water, pick it up and air it for a while, and mix it with pork stuffing. The unique fragrance of banana is also very good.

C. Cooking soup is the habit of cooking in Yunnan and Guichuan, and some places are almost necessary for every meal. Wash the plantain, boil the water in the pot, boil the vegetables in the water and cook them. Chili noodles dipped in water are delicious.

2 medicinal efficacy

A. When I was a child, the old man thought it was caused by getting angry, so he would find some plantain to cook into soup for us to drink. Occasionally, some people will boil a pot of banana soup when they are in a hurry to urinate, and some people drink banana as tea all the year round.

B. Lowering blood pressure can effectively improve the respiratory center, has a certain cough relieving effect, and can also increase the secretion of mucus in trachea and bronchus, effectively achieving the effect of eliminating phlegm.

Plantain is a common food in rural areas and also has certain medicinal effects. It can be used as adjuvant therapy, but it should be treated in time when the situation is serious.

Q: Can the common plantains in rural areas be eaten? What's the use? The village firefly's answer is that there are no three or two kinds of plantains common in rural areas, some of which are edible and some have never been tried. As for whether it can be eaten, there is no clear statement. If you want to eat plantain, you'd better learn relevant knowledge in advance and make necessary identification like mushrooms. After all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

How many kinds of cars are there in China? What are they?

Plantago is a plant of Plantago. There are more than 90 kinds of/kloc-0 in the world, and there are 20 kinds in China, which are front, front, front, front, front, front and front respectively.

What can be eaten in front of the car and who shouldn't?

Of all the 20 front cars in China, only the front car, the front car and the front car are proved to be edible. From April to May every year, the young leaves of Plantago asiatica are picked, blanched in boiling water, cold mixed, dipped in sauce, fried, made into soup and sunk. You can choose whatever you want. If you haven't tasted it yourself and told you how delicious it is, you may not have any sound. Only prospective foodies can know the delicacy and unique freshness of banana.

Plantain, as a seasonal wild vegetable, tastes good, but it is not suitable for everyone. In the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Lu, a famous physician in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province (now Wuxian, Jiangsu Province), wrote a medical monograph called Ben Feng Jingyuan. There is a clear explanation, plantain "Xu Ruojing is not allowed to be used if she is unstable". In other words, those with internal injuries, fatigue, stagnation of yang, kidney deficiency and smooth, and no damp heat inside should eat the front of the car carefully.

Botanical characteristics and medicinal functions of three edible plantains.

Plantago asiatica rhizome is short and slightly thick, basal leaves are rosette-shaped, procumbent, obliquely spreading or erect, petiole base expands into sheath, sparsely pubescent. The whole plant of Plantago asiatica contains components such as Plantago asiatica and aucubin. It is a traditional Chinese medicine with plantain and plantain as raw materials, which has the functions of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, resolving phlegm, cooling blood and detoxifying. The seeds of many plants in this genus are rich in gum and are used as laxatives at home and abroad.

Sweet, astringent and cool. Has antidiarrheal and healing effects, and can be used for treating diarrhea.

Plantago asiatica has long straight roots, many lateral roots, some fleshy and short rhizomes, and its leaves are as basal, creeping, oblique or erect as Plantago asiatica. Its efficacy is similar to that of plantain, and it has diuretic, heat clearing, eyesight improving and expectorant effects.

Hello! In my hometown, every spring, summer and autumn, plantains growing on the roadside or on the ridge can be seen everywhere. However, in my little memory, it has not been picked as a wild vegetable for 40/50 years!

Therefore, my answer is that plantain is definitely not a wild vegetable that people eat on the table! At least in my hometown, no one has picked it up and cooked it!

So, are there any other uses for plantain?

Because, my father is a very excellent doctor with a senior title of Chinese medicine. Therefore, the efficacy of various Chinese herbal medicines is well known and still fresh in people's memory.

So, don't look at small plantains growing on roadsides, hillsides and streams. It not only adds a touch of green to this northwest loess plateau! More importantly, it can save lives and get out of the quagmire! Therefore, any small plant has its meaning of existence and is a selfless gift to mankind. Small plants, the contribution to mankind is enormous!

Regarding the efficacy of plantain, it must be used together with other Chinese medicines to achieve the best effect. Don't use it indiscriminately! Although it can cure all diseases, it must be prescribed by a professional doctor. People who don't know medical skills should not be smart enough to abuse them! Because, I am not a professional doctor either, I just followed my father since I was a child, and I heard and saw his father prescribe a prescription with plantain.

Finally, there is a moral that there is a kind of long-leaf banana in my hometown. Is it the same as plantain? (Figure 5 is the front of the long-leaf car just photographed in the river bend today. )

Plantain is an annual or biennial herb. At the earliest time, people regarded it as a weed and didn't even have a name. However, an accidental discovery made this weed famous and had its own name.

According to legend, there was a general named Ma Wu in the Han Dynasty who led an army to war. But I lost because I was a stranger. Thousands of soldiers were trapped in a desolate place. It was midsummer, the weather was hot and dry, but it didn't rain. There were almost no wells and mountain springs in the trapped place. After being trapped for a few days, both soldiers and horses got "hematuria" because they could not replenish water. If this disease is not treated in time, it is in danger of being wiped out by the whole army. To this, Ma Wu is very anxious.

One day, Zhang Yong, the groom, accidentally discovered that four horses had "hematuria" and were cured. He was surprised and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Suddenly, Zhang Yong found that a piece of grass like a cow's ear on the ground had been eaten up by a horse. He suspected that this grass had played a role in treating "hematuria". In order to prove its effect, Zhang Yong tried it himself, and his "hematuria" was cured. So, someone reported the efficacy of this grass to General Ma Wu. General Ma Wu was overjoyed and asked where the grass grew. Zhang Yong said, "Right in front of the chariot". General Ma Wu smiled and said, "God helped me. What a good banana. " And immediately ordered the whole army to eat this weed, and after eating it, it really cured hematuria. Therefore, the name in front of the car has been handed down. And it is regarded as "sacred grass" by Chinese medicine.

From this legend, we can easily find that plantain is completely edible and can also be eaten raw. However, from the point of view of delicious taste, it is better to blanch with garlic paste and eat it cold. It is said that it tastes good and is a seasonal fresh vegetable. But according to people who have eaten banana, the young leaves are more delicious, and the old leaves will have fiber, which is not easy to chew. So eat plantain to eat young leaves.

Plantago asiatica is widely used to treat many diseases, such as hematuria, urinary tract obstruction, jaundice, edema, skin ulcer and so on. People often eat plantain, which can play a role in health care.

All right! That's all! To sum up, plantain is not only a weed, but also a wild vegetable, which is completely edible and delicious. It has many uses, mainly medical functions, and belongs to the "sacred grass" on the earth. And we often eat plantain, which can have a health care effect. Therefore, when you meet a banana, you should not hesitate to pick it home, blanch it with water, and it will get cold!
