Huangcai is a herbaceous plant that is more common in northern regions. Generally, it is best not to eat Huangcai directly. After picking it, steam it in a steamer for about 10 minutes and then air dry it to remove toxic substances from Huangcai. Below is a brief introduction about how long dried yellow cabbage can be soaked and eaten.
How long can dried yellow cabbage be soaked and eaten
1. Soak dried yellow flowers in warm water for 10-30 minutes, and determine the color and quality of the yellow flowers based on their purchase. If it is packaged manufacturer's yellow cabbage bought from a supermarket, soak it for more than ten minutes. If you buy from the market, be aware that it may contain sulfur, soak for a longer time, pour out the water and wash 2-3 times.
2. The overall principle of soaking is not to squeeze and scatter the yellow flowers, as this will affect the taste. If dried yellow flowers are used to make soup, continuous high temperature will cause the flower buds to spread out. In this way, two yellow flowers can be tied together and soaked, and the soup will not spread out and the taste will be more crispy.
Characteristics of yellow cauliflower
1. Huangcai, also known as Jin needle vegetable, is one of the favorite dishes among people. But yellow flowers contain colchicine. If the human body ingests colchicine, it will be oxidized in human tissues to produce colchicine. Ercolchicine is a highly toxic substance that can harm the human gastrointestinal and urinary systems, posing a serious threat to health.
2. If an adult consumes 50-100 grams of fresh yellow cabbage at once, it can cause poisoning. To prevent poisoning of fresh yellow flowers, boil them in boiling water for a moment, then soak them in clean water to remove most of the water-soluble colchicine. Fresh yellow cauliflower can also be cooked thoroughly and then consumed.
The above is a brief introduction about how long to soak dried yellow cabbage and how long it can be eaten. In short, when eating dried yellow flowers, they need to be soaked in water for 10-60 minutes. Usually, at this time, they can be removed and dried, and then placed on a plate for later use. Due to their low yield and high edible value, yellow flowers are more popular and have a higher selling price.
