Wild summer vegetables, night-blooming jasmine, wild vegetables growing in Cao Bang, climb tall trees to pick young shoots, delicious, good for health

Unlike vegetables grown in the fields, which are more or less affected by fertilizers, pesticides and many other chemicals, vegetables grown in the forest are only watered by rainwater, so they are absolutely safe. Da hien vegetables, mountain spinach, and khau ca vegetables compete with each other to sprout young, lush green shoots.

Many people brought their bags into the mountains and forests in the morning to pick wild spinach and wild amaranth. At noon, they took out rice balls and sesame salt to eat, and when thirsty, they drank water from the veins that flowed out from the crevices of the rocks.

At night, everyone earns a few kilos of nightshade and spinach to bring home to stir-fry with offal, meat, make soup, and bring to the market to sell. Nightshade stir-fried with beef is delicious and sweet, anyone who has eaten it once will never forget the taste. Some people also stir-fry nightshade with pork offal or chicken eggs, which is also very delicious.

Stir-frying is also very simple. The spinach is cut into two or three finger-length pieces, washed. Stir-fry the intestines until cooked, then add the vegetables and stir-fry. When the vegetables are cooked, pour them onto a plate.

Rau da hien - one of the specialty wild vegetables in some northern mountainous provinces, including Cao Bang province.

No one knows since when the night-blooming vegetable became a local specialty, each kilo sells for the same price as a kilo of pork. Red night-blooming vegetable can be sold for even higher price because it is rare.

Mountain spinach is very sweet when used in soup. Spinach cooked with bones is even more flavorful. There are seasons when each kilo of spinach is sold for one or two hundred thousand dong, but there is not enough supply.

Just like the Malabar spinach plant, there are sweet and bitter varieties. When going up the mountain or into the forest, the pickers must taste them before they can pick them to eat.

Just one bitter plant mixed with sweet plants when cooking soup will ruin the whole pot. A pot of spinach soup mixed with bitter and sweet plants will be uneaten because it not only tastes bitter but also makes you feel full.

The tree spinach (to distinguish it from the climbing spinach) is strange. You can't just pick it when you see the plant sprouting new shoots and bring it home to cook or sell at the market to consumers.

Rau da hien and rau ngot grow on rocky mountains. Some vine climb tall trees, so pickers must also climb tall trees to pick the young shoots.

The tree can be cut down to harvest the vegetable, but doing so will not produce many new shoots next year. Looking at the fresh vegetable shoots on the tree canopy makes the pickers feel very excited. When picked, the wild vegetables give off a distinctive smell that wild climbing vegetables in the forest do not have.

Not only da hien, khau ca, and rau ngot, this season in the mountains and forests there are also rau don, cu yam... Previously, many families who were hungry during the lean season brought crowbars and shovels into the forest to dig up yam and bring it home to cook with a little rice, corn, and mugwort to get through the hungry season.

This season, going into the forest and mountains, there are many kinds of vegetables and mushrooms growing naturally that can be picked and brought back to stir-fry or make delicious soup with the rich flavor of the mountains and forests.
