Xiao Bian likes to eat Pteridium aquilinum very much. It can be said that the delicacy of Pteridium aquilinum has a certain position in the field of wild vegetables, but Pteridium aquilinum tastes very bitter, so many people especially don't like the taste. So how can Pteridium aquilinum get rid of the bitterness? Follow Xiaobian to understand.
Is fern bitter to eat
People who like to eat Pteridium should have such a question. In fact, some bitterness of Pteridium is normal. In fact, bracken is bitter and sweet. For example, the color of bitter bracken is dark, and the head of the dish is rolled down, and it will be bitter to eat. Therefore, before cooking, you must blanch it with water, so that the bitter taste can disappear.
If it is a sweet fern, you can see that the color is bright, and the head of the dish is curled on the Internet. It tastes good, and it is also more fragrant, and there is no bitterness. But still need to blanch water to remove some earthy smell.
So if it's because bracken tastes a little bitter, it must be edible. But some people buy the fern is not well preserved, so the fern will be affected by moisture. At this time, the taste of the fern will change, and it will taste sour and bitter. If you eat it at this time, you may have diarrhea.
Because you'd better get the fern as soon as you come back, because the wild vegetables are not kept for a long time, and if you put them for a long time, the nutrition in the fern will be reduced a lot, and it's no good to eat them.
How to remove the bitterness of fresh Pteridium aquilinum
Fern is delicious and grows in many places. Many people give it the reputation of king of mountain treasures because it is delicious. It can be seen how high the position of fern in the field of wild vegetables is. Let's share two ways to remove its bitterness.
1. Some bitterness is normal, because no matter how bitter it is, there is no bitterness in balsam pear, but bracken still needs to get rid of bitterness before it tastes good. We must pinch off the old rhizome of the fern we picked. The tender part will not taste so bitter. There is also the old part because the toxin content is relatively high. Then we put the fern into the boiling water to blanch a few times, so that the top of the small fluff will be removed, and no bitter, but the word ah, before blanching, we must first wash it with clean water.
2. Because the fresh Pteridophyte can't be preserved for long, many people dry it. The dried Pteridophyte can be washed several times with rice washing water, because some sand will be mixed in the process of drying. In addition, after boiling water, it needs to be boiled, boiled for five or six minutes, and then soaked for a day.
