The effect of Rana chensinensis on sore throat is better than dandelion, and it is more obvious for colds. So far, no side effects have been found.

First, learn about frogs.

Toad skin is a kind of weed widely distributed in China, which belongs to the annual or biennial herb of Lithospermum. There are obvious protrusions on the surface of leaves, which are very similar to toad skin, so they are also called frog grass. Because it is widely distributed in China, there are other nicknames: toad grass, gall bladder grass, white grass, pig ear grass, rice spoon grass, seven star grass, five grass, yellow frog turtle grass and so on.

Toad skin is commonly called grinding long skin, grinding vegetables and so on. There are many areas with different names. Ground vegetables have high requirements on soil quality, water quality and natural environment, and are not easy to be polluted. It generally grows on hillsides and wet turf, and June-September is the picking season. China's central and western regions, such as Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces.

China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are too many products. There are also many wild vegetables that can be picked in spring. Although the title of this "toad skin" is very strange, because the names of wild vegetables are random, it is inevitable that there will be similarities and repetitions. As far as I know, there are two kinds of wild vegetables with almost the same names and shapes. Let's talk about them.

Nostoc commune is also called Nostoc commune, Nostoc commune and Nostoc commune in some places. It is also called "toad skin" because it is soft on the ground and its texture is a bit like a gel-like film. For the convenience of reading, we will call this kind of "toad skin" Nostoc commune below, which is easy to distinguish.

Although it looks ugly, Nostoc commune is very nutritious. This kind of blue-green algae wild vegetable is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and the contents of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and other elements are relatively high, so it is the best among all vegetables. Moreover, the amino acid composition of protein is quite high, which contains essential amino acids needed by human body. Therefore, Nostoc commune is a very healthy wild vegetable, so it has become the real "king of wild vegetables" in many people's minds.

There are many ways to eat Nostoc commune. Whenever possible, Nostoc commune is suitable for cold salad, stir-fry and stew.

Bufo bufo gargarizans is a common weed in many places, and it is distributed almost all over the country except in high altitude areas in northwest China. Although this plant is the same color as green leafy vegetables, its leaves are really ugly, even a little uncomfortable for people with intensive phobia, so its name is associated with "toad skin". This weed is called "toad skin" in some places in my hometown.

But to be honest, it's not quite the same as other wild vegetables. Toad grass tastes bitter, much more bitter than dandelion, so it was also thought to be more heat-clearing and fire-removing, and it was used in some places to relieve symptoms such as sore throat and excessive internal heat. But now people have too many vegetables and fruits to choose from, so this plant is really of little significance in eating, and it is really not delicious.

If you must introduce some ways to eat it, you can blanch it and eat it cold, or you can soak it in water after drying it as a wild tea, which is at least much healthier than a drink containing a lot of sugar, pigments and additives.

So do you like these two kinds of wild vegetables nicknamed "toad skin"? Do you know any similar wild vegetables with strange names?

Oviductus Ranae dried in the sun and boiled in water has obvious curative effect on sore throat and cough!

Have eaten, don't have a flavor, eat and want to eat!

Soaking in water is better.

Very bitter. Does it taste good？

I don't know about that.

I have seen a lot of such grass in the countryside, but I have never seen anyone eat it.
