What is the efficacy and function of Chinese cabbage?

As a traditional wild vegetable in China, many people are familiar with it. Because of its bright red color after cooking, many people mistakenly think that it has the effect of enriching blood and supplementing iron, so it is also called "blood-skin dish" and "Guanyin dish". Chrysanthemum is a perennial herb of Compositae with purple leaves and cabbage red, which is a traditional wild vegetable in China. Its aliases are: red cabbage, blood tonic vegetable, black fungus, blood vegetable and so on. Its whole grass can be harvested all year round, and it is rarely used or dried for eating. Chinese cabbage is rich in nutrition and has certain medicinal value.

Blood-skinned vegetables are edible. Common ways to eat in rural areas are: stir-fried blood-skin vegetables, fried pork liver with blood-skin vegetables and so on. These two methods do not need too many seasonings, mainly garlic, sour pepper, sour ginger, pepper and monosodium glutamate. In order to ensure the delicious vegetables, the seasoning should be put into the pot first, and the pork liver should also be put into the pot first. Blood-skinned vegetables are very tender. After stir-frying several times, you can put monosodium glutamate to make it fragrant and tender.

Extended data:

The red color of purple sweet potato comes from anthocyanins, and the reason why the plant world is so colorful is largely due to anthocyanins: red roses, blue blueberries, purple sweet potatoes and Xiangshan red leaves are all due to anthocyanins.

But unfortunately, there is no iron in anthocyanins, so even if they are as red as blood, it is difficult to supplement iron for us. In addition, anthocyanins have no ability to stimulate erythropoiesis. From this point of view, it is only a good wish to enrich blood with red cabbage.

In addition, there has been a debate about the impact of anthocyanins on human health. Proponents believe that anthocyanins do have antioxidant functions, while opponents believe that these antioxidant functions may not be applicable to humans. However, so far, we have no evidence that a large amount of anthocyanin supplementation can promote our health.

In this way, anthocyanins have more practical value, to dress up our dining table, stimulate everyone's appetite and take in more balanced nutrition.
