The efficacy and function of bitter vegetable

Plant Introduction

Although people call it "bitter herb", its scientific name is Brassica oleracea, and it is a herb. Now let's talk about what good effects it has.

For consumption

It tastes sweet with a hint of bitterness and can be stir-fried or eaten cold. However, we prefer to serve it cold. Here’s how to do it. First, we need to choose the fresher ones, then pick them and wash them clean. Next, we need to rinse them, drain them, and then let them air dry for a while. After it cools down a bit, we can add chopped ginger and garlic, as well as salt, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and other seasonings. Then, mix them well and place them on a plate.

Medicinal effects

When it comes to its effects, there are too many to list. We will mainly make our statement from the following points.

The first thing is to clear away heat and detoxify. We all know that this plant is cold in nature, so it has this effect. It can enhance the function of the human body's disinfection system, eliminate some toxins, and so on. Especially in summer, the effect is more obvious.

Next, it can lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids. As our living standards gradually improve, the number of patients with the three highs is increasing rather than decreasing. Some alcohol substances contained in bitter herbs have the function of preventing diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Another one is to improve the body's immunity. Plants are rich in various amino acids, which can promote the synthesis of antibodies in our body. In this way, our resistance to various harmful substances will be enhanced accordingly.
