Living in a foreign country in Australia, foodies, whether eating out or cooking at home, will inevitably encounter strange and strange ingredients different from those in China. People will certainly struggle to ask, what is this? Can I eat this leaf? How do you eat it? Today's home page summarizes a few Australian vegetables that are not common in China.
1. Artichokes Artichoke
Also called artichokes, although it looks like pangolin, this product is chrysanthemum. And the edible part is flowers, eat chrysanthemum ah. Rich in nutrition, especially in the most specific form of artichylic acid, it can eliminate liver toxins, promote cell regeneration and fat digestion, and can also have a good therapeutic effect on dyspepsia. It's best for people who often drink or have high cholesterol. As for how to eat this thing, tender words can be eaten raw, there is a flavor of walnuts, of course, can also be stewed or fried to eat, taste similar to bamboo shoots and mushrooms, very refreshing.
2. Spores cabbage Brussels Sprouts
It is still rare in China-although its taste is not necessarily popular with everyone, spores cabbage is the most nutritious cabbage vegetable and is a very good weight-loss food (see weight loss with bright eyes on paper). The only question is, how do you eat it? Foreigners just boil, pour gravy, make salad or barbecue side dishes, too rough. Some friends recommend the method is to remove the old leaves outside, cut in half, then sprinkle cheese and salt into the oven, bake in medium heat for 10 minutes, you can try ~
3. Fresh asparagus Asparagus
Some friends have eaten fresh asparagus, but in China it is not very easy to buy, and not cheap, and Australian supermarkets are very common, the price is also relatively ok, so we can often buy to eat. Fresh asparagus is known as the king of vegetables. Amino acids and vitamins are quite high, and trace elements are much richer than other vegetables, regulating metabolism and improving immunity. It has a good inhibitory effect on all kinds of chronic diseases, including cancer. Asparagus is too much to do, it is very good to cook soup and stir fry. Foreigners are generally grilled in the oven with a little salt and pepper can be eaten directly.
4. Leek Leek
Some people say, well, this is onions. Nonono, the pattern is broken, which is quite different from the taste of Chinese onions. But the scallions, garlic, leek itself are all Liliaceae, after all, the growth of the same, not very good points, but the Australian supermarket can not sell onions. Leek nutrition in fact more green leaves, but often cut off only sell onions, it is a pity. This leek can be used as onions, is not so big onion flavor, soup can also be made.
5. Sesame _ Rocket
The name is strange, but I'm afraid everyone in Australia has eaten it. It is a very common salad, originally a European specialty. Because it tastes strong sesame and slightly bitter (er, although the editor doesn't feel it, but they say it is), the Chinese name is called Sesame. Clear heat and clear the liver, moisten the lungs and stop coughing. If you have poor eyesight or cough for a long time, it is best to eat more sesame vegetables. This dish is rarely sold alone, usually put directly in mixed salad, mix can be eaten.
6. Okra Okra
Okra is also a southern vegetable, its most enjoyable nutrition value, is tonifying the kidney, is not very happy to see? So it's also called kidney-tonifying vegetables. Moreover, the taste of gumbo is smooth and not greasy, rich pectin not only beauty, but also help digestion and protection of gastric mucosa. Cold mix, hot stir-fry, stew, fried are not a problem, the only thing to pay attention to is, remember to do before using boiling water blanch 3 minutes to astringency.
7. Bamboo shoot melon, walnut pumpkin, east pumpkin Butternut Squash
At first glance, this product is gourd, open to see suspected pumpkin, eat like zucchini, it is also a big flower. In the end, I found the answer in Google for what this kind of thing should be. The vegetable name is Bamboo gourd, Cucurbitaceae Pumpkin, is a variety of immature zucchini, so everyone is right that the color is pumpkin color, although the color is pumpkin color, But let's treat it like a zucchini. It's great to make meat stuffing! If you fry directly, remember to put some sugar, and of course, the paste from the north, know how to raise your hand ~
8. Basil (basil)
Basil is a medicinal and edible aromatic plant with a strong fennel-like odor, native to the subtropical zone, with a refreshing and cosmetic effect. Australian supermarkets generally sell, as food, basil is not only Vietnamese rice noodle point pen, but also Taiwan famous dish Stewed Chicken with Three Cups Sauce essential spice, but also a frequent customer in western food. Adding basil leaves to salads or spaghetti is the easiest way to make pizza, potatoes, fish and meat in an oven. For convenience, buy off-the-shelf basil sauce and make an unusual green spaghetti.
9. Kale (Brassica oleracea L.)
Another member of the cabbage family, there are often yellow and purple horticultural ornamental varieties in the country. Kale is rich in vitamins and is a hot weight-loss food, usually used for salads. But this kind of vegetable can eat raw taste to be more bitter, make salad words best blanch water first, use to stew seafood is also healthy and delicious method.
10. Chard
Don't be surprised, it's just another name for pickles. However, most of China's beef pickles are green and white, and you can often see red stalks in Australian supermarkets. This kind of vegetable leaves are thick, fresh and tender, and it is delicious to chop up and stir-fry like ordinary green vegetables. Of course, most of these strange-looking vegetables can be used for salads, but foreigners will be very attentive to the dressing. If you want to be convenient, it is very good to use Chinese style cold mix, only boil water and then mix two spoonfuls of all-purpose old dry mother.
11. Parsley (parsley)
Parsley, also known as parsley, French coriander, native to the Mediterranean Sea, usually used for raw food, is an indispensable cold dish in Western food side and decoration. The aromas of parsley are lighter than normal coriander and are suitable for stewed seafood, barbecue and spaghetti.
Of course, there are a lot of vegetable knowledge needs to be explored together. Finally, we enclose a comparison table of some Australian vegetables between China and Britain for your reference.
