Shepherd's purse is a cruciferous plant. It is a favorite edible wild vegetable and is found all over the world. It has high nutritional value and is eaten in various ways. It has high medicinal value and has the effects of harmonizing the spleen, promoting water, stopping bleeding, and improving eyesight. It is often used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, diarrhea, edema, enteritis, gastric ulcer, cold fever, redness and swelling of the eyes and pain. Artificial cultivation is mainly based on sheet-leafed shepherd's purse and loose leafed shepherd's purse, which can be used in spring, summer and autumn. [Baidu]
Shepherd's purse is not only delicious, but also extremely rich in nutrients. Shepherd's purse can be fried, salad, made into vegetable fillings and vegetable soups. It has a variety of eating methods and a special flavor.
There are no fresh shepherd's purse in Beijing yet. The shepherd's purse I use today was harvested and frozen last year. Spring is coming, and the shepherd's purse is about to sprout. We can't help but store more and freeze it so that we can enjoy it anytime in the future.
