1. Many children like to play with dandelions. What kind of plant is this?

As we all know, there are indeed many dandelions in the countryside. Now that I think about it, I often see many rural children. They all like to pick their own filigree balls, hold them in their hands, blow them gently with their mouths, and the tidbits fly everywhere, which is very fun.

But for dandelions, what plants are they? I believe many people are not particularly clear. Of course, people who know may also know a thing or two, such as dandelion grass, which is a perennial herb with flowers as big as a single chrysanthemum.

Dandelion has been passed down since ancient times and has many different names.

People have known dandelion for a long time. They have given it many different names. For example, some people call it Sophora flavescens, Veronica, Huahualang and so on, while others call it Pugong grass, bed-wetting grass, dandelion in the west and so on.

"Tu Su Materia Medica" says: "Golden hairpin grass is a herbal medicine, flowers are like golden hairpin heads, and feet are like Ding, hence the name". Because of its unique function, there are other special names in history. For example, Sun Simiao's Qian Jin Fang is called Fu Gongying, Su Song's Tu Jing is called Fu Gong Piao, and Yu Ce is also called Gu Yanying and Pu. Huai people call it white drum nail, Shu people call it ear scar grass, Guanzhong calls it dog milk grass, and so on.

3. Dandelion is golden in color, with obvious morphological characteristics, which is easy to distinguish!

Bao Sheng said, "Dandelion grass has been in the country all its life. The stems and leaves are like chicory, broken with white juice. What a shame. Flowers as big as a single chrysanthemum. Received in April and May. " Therefore, the plant morphological characteristics of dandelion are obvious. Their leaves are obovate-lanceolate, obovate-lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, and their flower heads are golden in color, especially in the flowering season. Those lumps are easy to distinguish on the ground in the wild!

Dandelion is a perennial herb. After they bloom, there are fluffy balls formed by white crown hairs on the seeds. Especially after the flowers bloom, they drift with the wind and drift to new places with it, thus giving birth to new life and growing again and again.

Dandelion, a kind of plant, is "tender and edible" and can be regarded as an authentic wild vegetable.

The ancients said dandelion was "fresh and tender and edible". In fact, in our daily life, we often see people in some rural areas still picking these dandelions as a wild vegetable to eat. Last May, I went to the suburbs to play and saw many people digging this dish on the greenway around Phoenix Mountain. I also asked them at that time, how to eat this dandelion? They all say that this dish is ok, it can be dug back and fried, and it can be mixed. It is a heat-clearing potherb.

Dandelion is a kind of dual-purpose plant with homology of medicine and food. Since they can be eaten, how can they be eaten better? Some people say that pickled dandelion buds often have a refreshing effect. It is said that dandelion roots are edible and can also be used instead of coffee. Besides, dandelion can be eaten not only raw, but also cooked. Sauté ed shredded pork with dandelion has the effect of tonifying the middle energizer, benefiting qi and detoxifying. Usually dandelion leaves can be used to make some vegetables and soups, cold dishes in spring and autumn, and stuffing foods. They are authentic delicious wild vegetables.

Dandelion is a kind of plant medicine, which has the reputation of natural antibiotics in traditional Chinese medicine.

Materia Medica says, "Dandelion is sweet and slightly bitter, both sweet and slightly cold." Traditional Chinese medicine has always believed that dandelion is cold and bitter. It is found that dandelion plants contain many components, such as dandelion picrin and dandelion sterol. It is said that these ingredients have effects on human liver and stomach, and can play a good role in clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and detumescence. For example, after picking dandelions, some people pound them into oral liquid to treat some very refractory diseases such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis and swollen gums. There is also mashed residue for external application, which can treat some inflammation on the skin, such as mastitis and folliculitis.

Because dandelion is a cold plant, it is necessary to control the dosage when taking orally. When using dandelion, we should be careful not to drink too much. Only drinking the water soaked in dandelion in moderation can effectively treat various diseases. And it can't be drunk for a long time, which is easy to cause diarrhea and other problems. For example, people with yang deficiency and internal cold and weak spleen and stomach are not suitable for eating dandelion. Otherwise, intestinal function will be damaged, and there will be unfavorable situations such as defecation thinning.
