It is edible, but its nutritional value is not very high.

The habits of wheatgrass and wheat are very close. It needs to accompany the growth of wheat. It can survive the winter in the ground and turn green in spring. When the wheat is harvested, after the yellow flowers bloom on the tree, the seeds shake to the ground. , it can be resurrected that year.

Wheatgrass generally grows in wheat fields or at the bottom of ditches, in soft soil; Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua, and Artemisia annua mostly grow at the bottom of ditches and rivers. Artemisia annua also has medicinal value, but you just need to pick it at the right time.

Extended information

Wheatgrass, the old people also call it "Lala Artemisia", probably because of its strong vitality.

You can not only be ready for spring, but also be at peace with the situation.

When I was a child, I heard my father talk about the days of starvation in the 1960s, and the wild vegetables in the slopes became life-saving food for farmers.

In early spring when there is no harvest, there are more people in the fields than wild vegetables. Regardless of their thickness, pull the wild vegetables home, sprinkle them with sesame salt and mix them with some cornmeal or sweet potato noodles, and cook them in a pot to satisfy your hunger.

It was sad to hear this, and I couldn’t help but think of the poem by Du Xunhe, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, who said, “Every time you pick wild vegetables and roots and cook them, spin them into firewood and burn them with leaves.” Nowadays, there is no fear of food, but people are still willing to pull wheatgrass. This is a matter of interest and a relief from the boring life.
