蒲公英,又叫黄花地丁,耨草、金簪草,为菊科植物蒲公英的带根全草,生于路旁、田野、山坡,晚秋种子成熟后似一白色绒伞,随风飞散。蒲公英可治许多疾病,药用价值已被广泛认识,但作为蔬菜,还罕为人知。其实蒲公英早在《本草纲目》中就被列入“菜部”,是药食两佳的植物。 The dandelion, also known as the yellow flower, the grass, the calendula, is the root of the compositae dandelion. It was born on the roadside, in the fields, and on the slopes. After the seeds mature in late autumn, it looks like a white velvet umbrella that flies in the wind. Dandelion can cure many diseases. The medicinal value has been widely recognized but it is rarely known as a vegetable. In fact, dandelion was included in the “Culture department” as early as “Compendium of Materia Medica”, and it is a plant of two delicious medicines.
