What kind of dish is the folded ear root, and is it delicious?

Speaking of Houttuynia cordata, Nongji's hometown calls it "Ori Ear Root", and it is said that in the past, it was not called "Ori Ear Root", but "蕺 (jí) Ear Root". In Guizhou dialect, it is also possible to read "蕺" as "fold" as a false rumor. Why?

Because "蕺" is explained as "Houttuynia cordata" in the "Chinese Dictionary". Many years ago, there was a plaque inscribed by Mr. Lu Jiaxi, former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, on Fushui South Road in Guiyang.

Because the word "蕺" is relatively difficult to recognize, most people do not know this word, which may also lead to misinterpretation of false rumors. Therefore, in the Yunnan-Guichuan area, there are different names such as "side ear root", "folded ear root", "ear root" and so on.

Regardless of whether Houttuynia cordata is called "Ear Root" or "Folded Ear Root", in Nongji's hometown, it is a relatively popular vegetable among the public. The delicacies made with the folded ear root include "cold salad folded ear root", "fried bacon with folded ear root" and so on, especially "cold salad folded ear root", which is fresh and crispy, and is loved by Guizhou people.

In fact, as a vegetable, people who may like it will always like it and flock to it, while those who don't like it don't like how to make it delicious, but will avoid it. Therefore, not only does the root of the folded ear have a clear love and dislike in the country, even in Guizhou, not everyone will like the special taste of the folded root.

Because of the fishy smell of the folded ear root, it was rated as one of the top ten most unpalatable vegetables by netizens on the Internet. As a dead fan of the folded ear root, Nongji can be regarded as a member of the crowd who are eager to fold the ear root today, and he also has some say in whether the folded root is unpalatable or not.

When I was a child, I ate cold salad for the first time, and I really couldn't stand the fishy smell, so I avoided the ear root at that time. Later, the reason why I liked to eat origami root was that I was forced to be helpless. At that time, in the rural areas of Guizhou, there were few vegetables to eat almost after spring sowing, and when there was no money to buy other vegetables on the street, clusters of folded ear roots growing in shady and humid places such as the side of the ditch, the ridge, and the mountain bay became a delicacy on people's tables.

Therefore, after passively trying the taste of the folded ear root, there are still some heart palpitations when eaten raw, but there is no too strong fishy smell when fried with bacon, but it tastes cotton and sweet, and since then I have liked the deliciousness of the folded ear root. Perhaps, those who don't like the dish of origami and rate it as the most unpalatable vegetable and avoid it, they must be a passive attempt.

Maybe for people who don't like it, the folded ear root is purely a medicine, which makes it difficult to swallow. And for those who like it, folding ears is a delicacy and a good medicine. As a delicacy, Origami has never been included in the menus of many places.

However, people's recognition of its medicinal value should be much wider than its edible value, in fact, the plant of Origami root has a long history of medicinal use, and has a far-reaching influence, so it is clearly identified by the Ministry of Health as one of the plant resources with great potential for development as "both medicine and food".

There is a strong fishy smell at the root of the folded ear, which will make it feel unpalatable.

The root of the folded ear is also called Houttuynia cordata, just listen to the name to know that it has a fishy smell, the leaves of Houttuynia cordata do have a strong fishy smell after being crushed, many people are difficult to accept this taste, you may feel particularly disgusting and unpalatable at the beginning of eating, but after eating it, you will feel very delicious, cold salad Houttuynia cordata is a very popular cold dish in Chongqing.

It is not true that the root of the folded ear is poisonous and can hurt the kidneys if eaten.

As a food of the same origin as medicine and food, it has the functions of heat and detoxification, diuresis and dehumidification, stomach and digestion, and can be used for symptoms such as real heat, dampness, spleen and stomach heat.

As a kind of Chinese herbal medicine that can be tenaciously regenerated in the atomic bomb site, it not only does not have any poison, but also has the effect of anti-radiation and enhancing the body's immunity, so it is very beneficial to flight attendants, people who often operate computers and people who often come into contact with radiation sources. Therefore, it should be wrong to say that eating the root of the ear will hurt the kidneys.

The vast majority of people can't eat that taste, and as far as I know, only the southwest region is its base camp, especially in Guizhou, Yunnan.

Whether the folded ear root is good or not depends on personal taste.

Folded ear root usually refers to the rhizome part of Houttuynia cordata, this part is grown under the soil, long time can not see the sun, its color is the same as the white radish, if there is a phenomenon of greening, on the one hand, it is to pick the part above the soil, on the other hand, due to improper preservation, exposure to sunlight, resulting in the rhizome to produce chlorophyll and turn green, both cases will not produce toxic components, can continue to eat.
