How to cook ant vegetables

Ingredients: Ant vegetable, salt, 2 eggs

practice

1. Pick the tender leaves and remove the stems of the ant grass.

2. Add salt and two eggs. The eggs are laid by the stupid chickens I raise at home, and the yolks are particularly yellow. What is a stupid egg? It means that the chickens are raised by eating grains, wild vegetables and insects, without any additives.

3. Stir the egg liquid evenly.

4. Heat oil in a large iron pan and fry both sides until golden brown. Have you seen the large iron pans in our countryside? They are made by burning firewood. Compared with electricity and gas, they are really too troublesome. To be honest, I really don't like to use this kind of iron pan that burns firewood.

What is the function of ant vegetable?

1. Prevent cardiovascular disease

Ant grass contains a large amount of natural fatty acids. After being absorbed by the human body, this substance can inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol, which can significantly reduce the concentration of blood. It can also increase the elasticity of blood vessel walls in the human body, which can prevent thrombosis and arteriosclerosis, and has a significant protective effect on human cardiovascular system.

2. Diuresis, swelling and lowering blood pressure

Ant vegetable can not only promote diuresis and reduce swelling, but also lower blood pressure, because the trace element potassium is the most important in ant vegetable, and this trace element can effectively promote the decomposition and metabolism of sodium in the human body. Sodium in the human body is the culprit for inducing edema, urination problems and high blood pressure, and potassium in ant vegetable is its nemesis, so eating more ant vegetable can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and can also lower blood pressure.

3. Promote ulcer healing

Ant vegetable is rich in vitamin A, which can promote the regeneration and metabolism of human epithelial cells and effectively accelerate the healing of human wounds. Ant vegetable also contains a variety of natural antibacterial and antiviral ingredients, which can eliminate inflammation and viruses in the human body, treat ulcers and prevent ulcers from worsening.

4. Eliminate dust and poison

There is too much dust in the air, and when people absorb such air, a large amount of dust toxins will accumulate in their bodies. Eating more ant vegetables can speed up the excretion of dust toxins in the body and reduce their harm to the human body. In addition, ant vegetables can prevent inflammation of the lymphatic vessels and prevent them from developing fibrous lesions, which can eliminate the formation of nodules to a certain extent.
