Potted green "wood ear" on the balcony, fights cancer and prevents it, cures constipation, one pot is enough for the whole family to eat

Eating more green vegetables in summer is very refreshing and highly beneficial to health. Today I want to introduce a vegetable that not only has high edible value but also high ornamental value, and can even be used to green up balconies and courtyards. Because its leaves are broad and thick, and it chews with a crisp, refreshing texture like eating wood ear fungus, it is called wood ear vegetable (Malabar spinach).

Wood ear vegetable is very easy to grow; even if you are a beginner at growing vegetables, you can grow it well. Whether by cuttings or by sowing seeds, it takes root extremely easily. Wood ear vegetable is a vine-type vegetable with many branches and tendrils, prettier than pothos, and the best part is you can eat it! It can be harvested once every 20 days; just pinch off the tender leaves to eat, and it will keep growing. One pot is enough for the whole family to eat.

Wood ear vegetable has excellent dietary and health benefits. People with high blood pressure, liver disease, or constipation can eat more of it, and it is extremely suitable for the elderly. Regular consumption of wood ear vegetable helps lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, benefit the liver, clear heat and cool the blood, and promote urination.

Wood ear vegetable has a very high calcium content, 2-3 times that of spinach, and its oxalic acid content is very low, making it an excellent choice for calcium supplementation. In addition, the leaves of wood ear vegetable are also rich in a kind of mucilage, which has a very good effect in fighting and preventing cancer.

Quickly grow a pot of wood ear vegetable on your balcony! Enjoy the fun of growing plants and be a happy little farmer.
