This thing in the picture looks like it has a plastic feel and is even a little "disgusting".
How would you react if someone told you it was something to eat?
This thing is not only edible, but also has a very high nutritional value, but it is disliked by many people.
What's going on here?
Unspeakable "plants"
People living in rural areas should have seen a variety of wild vegetables and plants since childhood, and many people will choose to dig some food to eat.
Especially in the seventies and eighties, it was already a very "luxury" to be able to eat wild vegetables.
Generally speaking, in some barren grasslands, you can find a lot of wild vegetables, and there is one wild vegetable, which is completely different from other wild vegetables, because it is not usually found at all.
If you want to find it, you can only go out after a thunderstorm.
This is "Lei Gong".
When they hear this name, in fact, many people will be stunned, after all, no matter how you look at these three words, there should not be much connection.
There are also people who think that Lei Gong's will not be Lei Gongla's, so it is called this name.
But in fact, "Lei Gong" is a wild plant, this name is a nickname given to it, as for its real name, different places have different names.
Some places call it ground rubber bark, and some people call it ground fungus or ground vegetables.
No matter what people call it, the most famous is the name Lei Gongshi, which also has a lot to do with its growth environment.
In fact, from the point of view of appearance, Lei Gong and fungus are still slightly similar, they look translucent, greenish-brown things, but it is uglier than fungus.
If it's the first time you've seen this thing, you'll probably think it's a piece of rubbish, because there's really no words to praise it for its appearance.
Lei Gong Shio, on the other hand, is a plant that grows close to the ground, and strictly speaking, it is an algae that has a very large demand for water.
Lei Gong generally lives in a very humid environment, and as long as there is enough moisture, it will grow wildly with lightning speed.
Therefore, in thunder and lightning weather, it is the best environment for thunder feces to grow, and it is also the time when they grow the fastest.
People who have lived in the countryside for a long time will go out to look for Lei Gong poop after it has rained, which is also the best time to get it, and it is also very easy to identify.
Although it is similar to fungus, it is more like a glue, and the edges are very flat, without any burrs or protrusions.
As long as you see a lump of black and autumn, you can basically confirm the identity of Lei Gongshit.
Although Lei Gong is indeed a little disgusting, it is undeniable that its nutritional value is very high.
The nutritional value is very high
In people's cognition, ginseng is a "big tonic" thing, but it is also a very difficult thing to obtain.
Since ancient times, ginseng is a very valuable medicinal material, and it is also a "tonic" for many people to pursue immortality.
In fact, whether ginseng is a "miracle drug" or not, everyone knows the answer, but many people are unwilling to recognize the reality.
And the nutritional value of Lei Gong is also better than that of ginseng.
According to relevant data, Lei Gong feces contains 18 kinds of amino acids required by the human body, as well as a large number of nutrients such as protein and vitamins, which is higher than the nutritional value of most vegetables.
Compared with the nutritional value of other algae, the iron and calcium content of Lei Gong feces is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary algae.
In rural areas, many people will go to look for Lei Gong feces after a thunderstorm with their own vegetable baskets, which can also be eaten as a wild vegetable.
Its taste is actually similar to that of kelp and fungus, and it is all relatively crunchy.
However, after picking up Lei Gong's, it is actually very difficult to deal with it.
Because Lei Gong feces grow in a relatively humid environment for a long time, it will contain a lot of small stones or sand, and it is very difficult to clean.
It can be said that the cleaning of Lei Gong's is completely a very patient-consuming thing, and it is estimated that a small handful can wash people's mentality.
And in the face of its high nutritional value, in fact, there are still people who dislike it because of its appearance and feel.
Because Lei Gong's is smooth in his hand, it gives people a very "disgusting" feeling, and some people dislike it because of this name.
In any case, when you dislike something in your heart, no matter how useful it is, it will not help.
But Lei Gongsh himself is very competitive, in addition to its nutritional value, even the medicinal value is also very high.
Medicinal value
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is a record of Lei Gong Shi, but the Lei Gong in the book is called Di Ear, which was once made into Chinese medicinal materials.
According to some data, Lei Gong feces can be used as medicine, sweet and light, cool in nature, can be used to clear heat and reduce fire, mainly treat eye redness and pain, night blindness and other diseases, and even help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Although the name of Lei Gongshi's is indeed not very good, its whole body is full of treasures, which is also a "gift" from nature.
But with the development of society, Lei Gong is becoming more and more difficult to find.
You must know that the growth of Lei Gong itself has very high requirements for the environment.
Lei Gong itself is unavoidable, after all, the conditions that can make it appear are also lucky.
If there is any pollution, or some chemicals, it will be very difficult for Lei Gong to grow.
Even after a thunderstorm, it is difficult for people to find the figure of Lei Gongs.
Coupled with the gradual expansion of the scope of human activities, this is very unfavorable for the growth of Lei Gong.
If there is any pollution in the nearby environment, Lei Gongshi will directly "strike".
Therefore, this can be regarded as a pure natural and pollution-free wild vegetable, but it is also difficult to find a vegetable, and some farmers will take the Lei Gong feces they find to the market to sell.
However, there are some people who do not know how to do it, and after hearing its name, they will be unconsciously dissuaded.
But for many people, looking for Lei Gong after a thunderstorm is actually a kind of childhood memory.
