Early summer is the season with the most abundant vegetables of the year, and their quality is also relatively good. For example, the pass rate for beans, bok choy, and sea mustard is 100%, while for kidney beans, crown daisy, lettuce, bok choy, various greens, cucumbers, and rapeseed, the rates are all above 95%, and the prices are also quite low. This week, the vegetable safety index for consumption is low for spinach, celery, and chives.
This week, vegetables with a high expert recommendation index are: beans, sea mustard, potatoes, onions, Chinese yam, chili peppers, radishes, and lettuce. Vegetables suitable for eating raw include crown daisy, radishes, onions, and bok choy.
As early summer arrives, technical personnel from the city's vegetable monitoring center remind citizens to eat more sour and bitter vegetables. Common sour vegetables include tomatoes; bitter vegetables include bitter melon, bitter herbs, and dandelion; "qi-regulating" vegetables are radishes, lotus root, and fennel; and potassium-rich vegetables include spinach, potatoes, green onions, and celery.
