Chen Yunbin (diet therapy and health writer) Radish tassel is the stem and leaf of radish. It not only has the effects of radish, but also has two differences: 1. Radish tincture is a "natural calcium tablet", containing about 150 to 350 mg of calcium per 100 grams. Its calcium content ranks among the best among vegetables, and also exceeds milk and soybeans. 2. Radish is cool in nature, while radish tassel is warm in nature. This makes radish leaves very valuable among green vegetables - because there are not many warm green vegetables, and vegetables that are warm and not irritating are even more rare, and it also has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Why do I particularly emphasize eating radish leaves at the beginning of spring? The characteristics of early spring radish tassel can be described in one sentence, that is, it embraces the winter spirit and gets the spring sun. The roots of radish accumulate energy in winter, which is derived from winter air. As soon as the spring sunshine comes, the radish will grow leaves, which is the spring sunshine. Therefore, radish leaves in early spring are a very energetic food, combining yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine uses radish leaves as medicine, and it also pays attention to picking radish leaves in early spring. We need to fight viruses in the beginning of spring. Radish leaves can help us fight viruses in the respiratory system and resolve gastrointestinal turbidity. Around the beginning of spring, it is usually the Spring Festival and winter holidays. Everyone eats richly, and the stomach and intestines are prone to stagnation. In addition, the weather is hot and cold, which can easily cause colds and coughs, especially for children at home. To combat colds and coughs in early spring, eating a little radish leaves is very effective. Spring is here, and we need to open up our spleen and stomach functions. Earlier I mentioned using coriander to wake up the spleen, now let’s talk about using radish leaves to whet the appetite. Radish tassel is an appetizer and digestion agent. It is good for people who suffer from overeating, bloating, frequent acid reflux, burping, and diarrhea. Special recipe for treating loss of appetite after a cold: Quickly stir-fried radish tassels. The white radish you buy sometimes comes with old radish tassels, which are thick green stalks. This kind of old stem can be chopped into pieces and marinated with salt for ten minutes. Put a little oil in the pot, add two or three chopped dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add chopped radish leaves and stir-fry quickly for two minutes. Once cooked, it is a delicious side dish. It can dissipate wind and cold. If you feel forehead pain and loss of appetite after catching a cold, eating this will be effective. Special recipe for treating food-related cough: Cold radish tassels. There is a kind of cherry radish with long tassels. This tassel is the leaf. Some people think that the leaf tastes thicker. If they dip the radish underneath into the sauce and eat it, they will pull out the leaves and throw them away. It is a pity. Although radish is good, it has a cooling effect. So God allowed the radish tassel to grow into a temperate one to balance it out. If you eat radish without eating the tassel, you will give up half of its nutrition. If you think the radish leaves are not delicious when eaten raw, you can quickly blanch them in a pot of boiling water, then cut some minced ginger, add some sugar, vinegar, and salt and mix them, and they will taste delicious. This dish also has the effect of resolving phlegm and relieving coughs, especially for young people and children who suffer from food-related coughs. After young people overeat, they are prone to colds and coughs when they catch a cold. This kind of cough worsens at night and if you feel there is a lot of phlegm, you can eat this dish and add more grated ginger for better results. How to grow radish tassel at home. What should I do if I can’t buy radish tassel? You can grow your own radish leaves to eat. The method is very simple. 1. Plant radish seedlings in flower pots. In early spring, as the saying goes, it is the season of drought. The vegetables stored in autumn and winter have been eaten up. Most of the vegetables sold in the market are greenhouse vegetables, and there are not many seasonal vegetables grown in the fields. You might as well plant some radish seedlings at home to eat. Spread a handful of radish seeds (available at flower markets or seed stores) in a flower pot, water them thoroughly, and eat the above seedlings when they grow. Carrot seeds can grow if you sow them into the soil, and they have very strong vitality. The effect of this small seedling on lowering blood pressure is better than that of the large leaves. While the radish is cooking, cut off the top part of the radish. Place cut side down on a plate and pour a small amount of water. Add water every one or two days to keep a little water in the dish. In a few days new sprouts will appear on the top of the radish. Soon the leaves will grow and they will be ready to eat. If the leaves are old, they will bolt and bloom. There are white and purple radish flowers. When viewed as a bonsai, there is a sense of wildness in the mountains and forests!
