There are many wild vegetables that can save a person's life at critical moments. Three years of natural disasters, Chairman Mao has more than half a year did not eat a bite of meat, green and yellow time to eat the most wild vegetables is amaranth and spinach, swollen calves, people around who persuade not to listen. Amaranth is the most common folk wild vegetables, known as "longevity vegetables". But even better can not be eaten as a meal ah!

If you encounter a moment of crisis, which wild vegetables can save a person's life? Here are a few for your friends' reference:

• Amaranth - very good, all over the place, blanched and eaten. It clears heat, detoxifies the intestines and regulates blood sugar and blood pressure. Now also one of the table food.
• Dandelion - rich in multivitamins, clearing heat and reducing inflammation, to be supplemented appropriately. Cold in nature. Eating more leads to coldness in the spleen and stomach.

• Hawthorn - It is most abundant on the mountains and grows in the cracks of the rocks. Blanch and eat. Not easy to eat more than one, easy to produce acid, not suitable or contraindicated for stomach problems.

• Little Wild Garlic - The whole plant is edible, but should not be eaten on an empty stomach, it is pungent and irritating. Detoxifies and promotes digestion. Eat sparingly for hot bodies.

• Wild amaranth - blanched for soup. Rich in many vitamins minerals and contains more calcium. Although cold in nature, it is relatively mild. Eat sparingly for those with cold spleen and stomach.

• Ashwagandha - This is also a popular wild vegetable. It can be made into soup and stir-fried vegetables. It clears heat, relieves dampness and is good for skin health.

• Shepherd's purse - this is a favorite wild vegetable, spring more raw, cold, clearing heat and detoxification, spleen and water. Rich in a variety of nutrients, dietary fiber.

The above wild vegetables, in addition to small wild garlic, are cold, with the efficacy of medicine and food, so it can clear heat and detoxification anti-inflammatory diuretic water and dehumidification, and so on.

If I were to choose, I would first choose to consume amaranth, shepherd's purse, wild amaranth, hawthorn, ashwagandha, and dandelion, which are milder in their effects on the body. When food is available, these wild vegetables can be used as vegetables to supplement nutrients, and when food is not available, these wild vegetables will not damage the spleen and stomach and lead to low immunity by consuming more of them for a short period of time.

Edible wild vegetables are not necessarily on the ground, the tree can also choose, mulberry leaves, elm money, acacia flowers, etc., are very good medicinal effects and therapeutic effects, can be filled with hunger to prevent and cure diseases, no toxic side effects and irritation, is the wild survival, the critical moment can "save a life" of a good choice.

There are a huge number of edible wild vegetables, upwards of 30 species. There are many different varieties of bitter greens alone. At this critical moment, in places where wild vegetables are particularly abundant, where options are available, try to avoid those wild vegetables that are too cold, too bitter, and particularly pungent and irritating, so as not to consume them improperly or in excess, which can harm the body and lead to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. For example, bitter saucer vegetables, wild garlic, etc., should not be consumed in large quantities on an empty stomach, which can easily cause stomach pain and diarrhea. A family of words.

Good noon to the subject! 🙏🌹

I say, wild vegetables to save people can not talk about, once remembered in the 60s, (three years during the natural disasters,) in our rural areas, production teams commonly planted a kind of, safflower grass, this grass this used to fertilize the field crops, or used to feed the livestock. ,,, but in the lack of food in the era of this grass used to feed people, change the way to eat, but also visit each other to learn, for example, the grass in boiling water to cook a little bit, rolled into a ball Shang, in the fine powder (a kind of bad rice into the powder,) rolled a little bit, down the pot steamed, even if it is a big dumpling 😭😭🤑🤑🤑 is also considered to be a big meal.

In those days such saffron grass really saved so many families and lives at critical times.

In our time, sweet potatoes did not exist, and I have never heard of it. For this safflower grass until now we still call it "life-saving" grass. It is really God's will that there is no way for a person to be saved! I will never forget it!

I don't know if it saved my life or not, but anyway, my mom used to get wild greens to eat, wild onions, dandelions, chicken feet cabbage, folded ear root, those are straight out of the house. Phoenix's nest, parsnip, watercress, duck's foot, those occasionally, jealous of me, haha

This question brings back a lot of memories for me. It was in the 1960s, due to three years of natural disasters, there was an extreme shortage of food for the whole country. Fortunately, we were in Baotou, Inner Mongolia at that time, and the country was building Baotou Steel, transferring food from all over the world and abroad to meet the people's needs, but there was still a big shortage.

Since I didn't have enough to eat, my father would take me to the field on Sundays to dig for wild vegetables. I remember the most impressive is a kind of 'pig's hair vegetable', quite a big tree, the leaves like pig's hair stretched out, bright green, green, tender branches pinch down, home to boil soak overnight, chopped up the cabbage dumplings also top hungry. There is also a kind of cabbage called 'gray grey cabbage', the top of the leaf is green, the opposite side of the leaf is gray. Go home and cook and soak for a long time, the smell is still bitter, is not as good as pig's hair vegetables eaten, but it is also these wild vegetables, we successfully through the difficult times, out of the three-year disaster of the difficult period.

Now when I think of these wild vegetables, I still have a deep respect for them. Life is a life of grass and trees, wild vegetables in the critical moment of wholehearted dedication, is the gift of nature, nature's gift. So we should have fear of nature and live in harmony.

The wild vegetable that saves lives? It's the seven sevens. We all call it "seven-seven vegetable" here, and it is full of thorns. This is the same wild vegetable that saved millions of starving people during the three years of natural disasters!

This vegetable grows very fast, after digging it grows again in a few days, at that time it was everywhere in the mountains, people ate it and drank it, and made it into vegetable dumplings, vegetable paste, so that how many people did not starve to death, which is not to save people's lives?

Nowadays, life is better, but you can't find it if you want to eat it. Look at this large area of farmland with rows and ridges, where can we find it? The story of how this wild vegetable saved a man's life has become history again!

Wild vegetables, as I understand it, are vegetables (or plants) that can be eaten without being cultivated. There are so many of these plants in the countryside.

I remember when I was a kid patrolling the hills for hogweed and basically picking the pickled vegetables. At that time, due to the low standard of living and the lack of pollution, people ate vegetables they planted themselves.

You want to ask which wild greens can save your life in a pinch? I think there are just so many. But nowadays, eating wild vegetables is not saving your life but enjoying it. Because wild greens are all natural and harmless.

Our Three Gorges area is particularly rich in wild vegetables, introducing several kinds:

Toon Sprouts: a type of young sprout that grows on a tree, and like its name, is very, very flavorful. Whether you pick them directly and eat them pickled, or scrambled eggs with toon, toon salt dishes, etc., they are all good choices.

Split Root (also known as Fishing Wake). The root (or stem) of a wild plant. This kind of wild vegetable in the east of Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and Hubei has been domesticated due to the fact that too many people eat it. This root can be eaten directly pickled, fried, cold, and eaten in a variety of ways.

Yin Chen (also called Park Gong Yin), a wild vegetable that grows in the ground. The plant is small and the roots, stems and leaves are all edible. It is a delicacy as well as a medical herb. It is a good choice for both cold and hot pot.

Mint, Ground Rice Vegetables, Amaranth, Wild Celery, Weed, and more are all delicious.

When I think of a wild vegetable that saved my life at a critical moment, I immediately think of a wild vegetable that helped me stop bleeding when I was a child, the "prickly vegetable".

It was during the production team's time. That summer, the school was on vacation to support the farmers in harvesting wheat. We schoolchildren helped to pick the ears of wheat. When I was a child, I was very naughty and took a sickle to cut the wheat like an adult when the adult was taking a break. I didn't realize that I had cut my left middle and index fingers in just two or three strokes, and the blood flowed profusely.

Adults take a look at my hand blood flow, all panicked, chaos into a pot of porridge. At this time I don't know who shouted: quickly go to gather prickly lettuce to cover him! At that time, it was the time when the prickly lettuce was growing vigorously, and it was everywhere. In a short while, the prickly lettuce mashed on the wound, and wrapped with a strip of cloth. It was really effective, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

The scientific name of the prickly vegetable is artichoke, cool blood to stop bleeding, clearing heat and swelling, treatment of coughing blood, vomiting blood, bloody diarrhea, carbuncle and poison, bleeding from trauma.Coughing blood, vomiting blood, epistaxis, urinating blood, hemorrhagic drenching, blood in stool, bloody diarrhea, leakage in collapse, bleeding from trauma, carbuncle and gangrene.

Suffice it to say, if I hadn't had the stinging veggies to stop the bleeding quickly in the first place, I don't know what the consequences would have been!

First, this issue to go back to the sixties, when people live in relative poverty, especially in rural areas, more populous families with more serious food shortages, our local barren hills are full of Poria, and ambrosia shaped like sweet potatoes, black-brown outer skin, white or pink inside.
