A major harmful weed from Southeast Asia invaded China and transformed into a table delicacy

When it comes to invasive species, I think most friends absolutely dislike them, especially farmer friends, because most of these invasive species live in rural wild areas. Once they grow near fields, orchards, ponds and other crop and cash crop areas, they are bound to cause reduced yields or even total crop failure of crops and cash crops, thus causing the hard work of farmer friends to be wasted. Therefore, these invasive species are hated to the extreme.

However, there are exceptions to everything. After some invasive species entered China, they not only did not become a disaster, but instead became a delicacy on the table. For example, crayfish are like this. Abroad, they are notorious, but after invading China, they became a delicacy. However, besides crayfish, there is also a kind of wild grass like this, and it is Madeira vine.

Many friends may not have heard of Madeira vine, but when it comes to its other name, I think most friends will know it, that is, "Teng Sanqi."

Madeira vine is notorious abroad. It is native to South America and Southeast Asia. In Southeast Asia, Madeira vine is a major harmful weed. It grows very fast and can grow several meters long in a year. Moreover, Madeira vine is a twining vine plant, often attaching to crops and trees, and often covering crops and trees, thus causing disasters, which makes many people hate it very much.

However, after Madeira vine invaded China, it transformed into a tonic on the dining table. The tender leaves of Madeira vine are a top-grade wild vegetable (now it has become a vegetable). It is easy to cultivate, has few pests and diseases, is highly nutritious, and tastes good. It is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. In addition, Madeira vine also has very high medicinal value. According to records, the bulbils, leaves and roots of Madeira vine can all be used as medicine. It has effects such as nourishing, strengthening the waist and knees, dissipating phlegm, promoting blood circulation, strengthening the stomach and protecting the liver, among many other effects.

It is precisely because Madeira vine has these edible and medicinal values that it not only did not cause disaster, but instead became a natural green health-care and medicinal food on China's dining tables. It is loved by many people.
