Jiaxin cai (Sedum kamtschaticum) can detoxify and lower blood lipids, with nutrition 10 times higher than eggs

A few days ago, my mom brought back a wild vegetable from outside and asked Huahua to chop it into filling to make buns. It turned out to be quite tasty. When I asked my mom what this vegetable was called, she hemmed and hawed and couldn't name it, only saying that as long as it tastes good, that's fine.

In recent days, Huahua learned that this vegetable looks similar to Yangxin cai (Sedum kamtschaticum), so I quickly looked it up, and wow, it has quite a lot of benefits! Yangxin cai has another name, Jiaxin cai. This little wild vegetable can actually "save the heart"? Although it's a bit of an exaggeration, it also shows from another angle the benefits of eating Yangxin cai.

With so many uses, why not try growing a pot of Yangxin cai at home too! Today let Huahua tell everyone how to grow Yangxin cai!

Yangxin cai is actually very easy to grow. Whether by sowing seeds or by cuttings, the survival rate is relatively high. Generally speaking, Yangxin cai is mainly propagated by cuttings. We can take small seedlings about 8 cm long and insert them into the soil for propagation.

Yangxin cai has basically no requirements for soil. As long as the soil is fertile and nutritious, has good air permeability and decent looseness, it can grow. It will grow even better in neutral soil with good drainage.

Yangxin cai does have certain requirements for water. It prefers moist soil, and it is best if the moisture in the soil can reach 70 to 80 percent. This moist environment is good for the growth of Yangxin cai. When we grow Yangxin cai at home, it is best not to let it be exposed to direct sunlight. Too much sunlight will speed up the evaporation of water in the soil and affect the plant's growth rate.

In addition, Yangxin cai is very tolerant of high temperatures and cold. It can still survive even at minus 30 degrees, and as long as the temperature is not lower than 5°C, it can grow. But if we want Yangxin cai to grow relatively well and want to harvest it earlier, it is best to keep the temperature at around 25-28 degrees, and the nighttime temperature is also best kept at around 12 degrees to favor the growth of Yangxin cai. Friends who have the conditions can take temperature control measures; friends who do not have the conditions need not worry, just keep the temperature suitable.

As you can tell from the name, Yangxin cai has some health benefits for the body. When Yangxin cai has grown enough to be harvested and eaten, you can dry the leaves in the sun and make them into tea. Steeping them in hot water to make tea also has the effect of suppressing insomnia and palpitations!

Yangxin cai has many effects, and it also has the effect of lowering blood pressure. If there are elderly people at home, you can brew some Yangxin cai tea for them; it is very good for the body.

Everyone should not think of Yangxin cai as miraculous. After all, Yangxin cai is a kind of vegetable and only has a supplementary effect. If there is really a problem with your health, you should seek medical attention in time.
