There are nearly ten thousand kinds of native plants and introduced and cultivated species on the island, and the species diversity per unit area is world-famous, which can be said to be a fragrant Eden. Rural elders often say that "green is medicine, and you can only know the treasure when you are ripe", and seasonal wild vegetables add color to the table dishes, which shows that Taiwan Province Province has traditionally spread a wealth of knowledge about herbs and wild vegetables.
Once upon a time, with the changes of the times, the western-oriented education system, science and empirical medicine became the mainstream, and western medicine was the main disease. Of course, consolidating the middle is also beneficial. The most obvious thing is that snake bites are treated with serum, so it is impossible to use herbs.
However, the simplification and actions of various sciences have gradually made us lose the wisdom accumulated by our ancestors. Fortunately, the current trend pays attention to health and advocates environmental protection. Western medicine also generally attaches importance to alternative therapies, such as Chinese herbal medicine, music therapy, gardening therapy and animal therapy.
In life, we can see a lot of things that were just food and clothing for elders in early society; Now it has become a healthy food, very popular, such as sweet potato, brown rice, all kinds of wild vegetables ... let the public start thinking about how to innovate in traditional agronomy and vanilla extract. ? Healing begins with life.
Horticultural therapy in Taiwan Province Province has developed for more than 10 years, and it is fortunate to be one of them. Thanks for the support of many friends and organizations along the way. What exactly is gardening therapy? How to enter this field? A gardener gradually realized that the root and foundation lay in organic and natural agriculture by enriching his ability of curriculum design and planning, skills of guiding field activities, physiological planting techniques of plant gardening, application of health culture knowledge, understanding of customers and accumulation of experience.
The deterioration of urban environment, air pollution and food safety make the new green agriculture flourish, and people pay more and more attention to green industry. Many people also find that it doesn't seem difficult to go back to enjoying farm life and investing in green.
Cuba has the highest rate of organic agriculture in the world. Nearly 80% of the crops in China are organically grown, and farmers are high-income industries. The population is equivalent to Havana, the capital of Taipei. There are more than 1000 farmers' markets, and half of the food is produced near the urban area. It's like Havana, a super-large organic farm. The biggest benefit is the improvement of people's health.
All these achievements are attributed to 199 1 the green revolution that began with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which caused the food crisis in Cuba. Because of food shortage, residents began to grow food on the roof in front of their homes, and frugal spending evolved into a good cycle. Taiwan Province Province is gradually stepping into an aging society, which is one of the fastest aging countries in the world. According to the population statistics of the Executive Yuan, in 2025, one in five people will be an elderly person over 65.
Countries all over the world are emphasizing that health is the only way to survive. If you live long, you must live healthy and meaningful. Returning to the green farm and making life a kind of healing is the way for everyone.
What you should know about nutrition: phytochemicals In recent years, nutritionists and experts have found another group of more critical healthy nutrients in plants, called phytobiochemicals, or phytochemicals for short; Up to now, more than 6,543,800 species and their corresponding health relationships have been discovered.
These phytochemicals are different from vitamins, minerals and cellulose recognized in traditional nutrition. Once a certain vitamin or mineral is lacking, it will often lead to specific diseases or major functional damage, which is an indispensable part of food intake. Although the lack of intake of these phytochemicals in life will not bring immediate harm, experts have found that these phytochemicals can effectively help our cells to resist oxidation and scavenge free radicals, make our immunity better and stronger, and have more subtle and enhanced functions in maintaining health and health care.
Many phytochemicals have been applied to health food in many ways. Lycopene, for example, became the first appeal, successfully recreating another peak of traditional brands; High antioxidant capacity, such as catechin in green tea and anthocyanin in broccoli, are the most famous flavonoids; Lutein in carotenoids is the best eye protection agent in the eyes of ophthalmologists, not to mention that organic sulfides can reduce the probability of cancer and effectively prevent fat from accumulating on the blood vessel wall; Curcumin is very popular in Japan, which can activate the brain and improve memory efficiency ... In the past 20 years, advanced countries such as Europe, America and Japan have attached great importance to the development and exploration of returning to nature and folk herbs, forming an alternative fashion trend.
Compared with advanced countries, Taiwan Province Province originated from China cultural tradition, with a long history and classics about herbal life, and many rural applications are deeply rooted in people's hearts. More than half of the plants in the World Pharmacopoeia published by the World Health Organization are plants used in books on traditional oriental medicine. Further research on the analysis of phytochemicals and clinical efficacy in biotechnology industry not only proves the wisdom of predecessors and corrects their fallacies, but also reminds us that the truth of self-seeking and natural health preservation has always been there, and it is right to do it.
Food is the most important thing for people, especially in Taiwan Province Province! I believe that many people will be eager to be wild vegetables after learning about wild vegetables through the happy day of falling in love with them. Here, we remind you of the basic principles of eating wild vegetables, which will definitely make you eat healthier and more comfortable, and make you a food expert who loves and eats.
1. Don't eat many specific kinds.
Although herbs and wild vegetables are non-toxic and edible, they generally correspond to the principle of physical weakness and coldness. From the perspective of health and nutrition
Degree, any herbal medicine or even food is not recommended for a large number of single consumption; Trying a small number of varieties and various ways of eating is the correct way of application.
2. Cleaning method
If wild vegetables are not planted artificially, but collected from the wild, and many kinds are low, it is more likely that the leaves are stained with sediment or insects are hidden than ordinary vegetables. Therefore, cleaning work is inevitable. It is suggested to soak in clear water for one or twenty minutes first, so that the sediment can sink to the bottom of the water or the insects have time to climb out of the water. After that, normal cleaning steps can be carried out to avoid the occurrence of related situations.
Cook with high-fat meat
Many herbs and wild vegetables with unique fragrance taste astringent, so you can blanch them first to remove the astringency and then fry them. Or directly choose to cook with oily meat, such as mutton, chicken with skin, pork belly and so on. Therefore, it is a good way to extract nutrients to satisfy the taste by neutralizing the taste with oil and dissolving rich fat-soluble nutrients.
Don't overcook
Eating herbs and wild vegetables mainly absorbs the benefits of non-pesticide chemical fertilizer pollution and the trace elements contained in it, which makes our health more balanced. Therefore, the biggest principle is to collect fresh and appropriate amount and cook with low fire. On the one hand, it maintains the activity of nutrients, on the other hand, it reduces the situation that excessive cooking becomes black, ugly and ugly.
5. Soak the dried product in water for 30 minutes.
In addition to fresh collection, more medicinal materials and wild vegetables will be preserved in a dry way, which is convenient for storage, transportation and sales. When using this kind of dried products, it is suggested to soak them in clear water before cooking, which can make the nutrition of vanilla extract easy to release and shorten the stewing time. If it's soup or tea, you don't have to pour out the soaked water, you can cook it directly.
6. outdoor collection carefully step by step
The best place to collect wild vegetables is next to an organic vegetable garden, so you don't have to worry about pesticides or herbicides. Usually, vegetable farmers will be happy to share these wild vegetables and tell you about their private kitchens. If you are on private land or fallow land, you should not only be careful that the landlord may not want to see anyone break in, but also pay attention to whether herbicides and environmental disinfectants are used for the convenience of managing the environment. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to collect in national protected areas, parks and other places.
Don't be greedy when collecting, just enough for a meal, fresh is the best. If too many medicinal materials are collected according to season, usage or carelessness, the sand should be removed and hung in a ventilated place to dry in the shade; After drying, it is best to put it in the refrigerator.
Fall in love with grass Generally speaking, there is no need to plant grass everywhere in a happy life, and even many weeds that are thought to invade the garden are quickly removed; I feel that it should be easy to grow herbs and wild vegetables.
It's not that simple. The more I want to plant many kinds, the more I can't plant them. Therefore, the most basic principle of planting vanilla extract is to create a natural and primitive environment, which is completely different from gardening techniques. It is suggested to give up the single large-scale planting technology and mentality as much as possible.
Taiwan Province Province is a rare environment with rich ecological diversity on the earth, and of course, the living grass also inherits this genetic inheritance. Therefore, the soil environment with rich nutrition, good drainage and sunshine and the way of planting a variety of grasses together are the easiest to succeed. This book focuses on the understanding and learning of plants and describes the application of grass reported by folk communicators in the book.
From the point of view of scientific argumentation, traditional cursive script is an inaccurate, often random or accidental rural record and oral history, which cannot replace formal medical care. Please don't be afraid of diseases and doctors, or blindly pursue returning to nature and hold a distrust attitude towards contemporary medicine; If you have medical care needs, you must seek formal and professional medical pipeline assistance to avoid delaying the opportunity to seek medical treatment.
It would be more appropriate to introduce Qingcaofang as an opportunity to learn about folk culture and create a new bureau. Engaged in horticultural healing and grass health care for many years, I have accumulated experience in interacting with students in practical teaching courses and healing activities, and planned 65,438+000 common plants in this book. We invite you to re-understand and make good use of these beautiful grasses from different angles such as eating, drinking, playing, planting and appreciating. I hope everyone can fall in love with them and enjoy a happy day!
