The first weed, with which I undertook to fight on my 15 acres, was not prickly like a thistle, and not stinging like nettles. Its stem was transparent and juicy, the leaves were tender and pretty, and the root was very branchy, but easily removed from the soil. If I had known then that this is a completely edible, and even a medicinal plant, it is possible that I would have treated it more favorably
Food for the saints
According to one of the versions put forward by curious people, the word "sleepy" can be a modified Old Slavonic word for "food". After all, not so far from us are the times when the plant, now called “despair”, was actively used in the nutrition of people and domestic animals.
In the spring, when the autumn supplies in the cellars and storerooms were coming to an end, people were well helped out by running away. With its nosy and tenacious roots, it penetrated the well-fertilized soils of fields and meadows. People harvested its juicy stems and leaves, from which they cooked green soups, adding nettle, sorrel, green onions. It was stewed and even fermented for future use, as is usually the case for stewed and fermented white cabbage.
The story of the revered Orthodox saint, Seraphim of Sarov (07.19.1754 - 01.02.1833) is interesting. Born into a wealthy merchant family that foreshadowed a well-fed, prosperous life, he had to live a completely different life. His life led him to a monastery, and his penchant for solitude made him a hermit. Living in the forest, he earned his own food. History has preserved many interesting moments of his life for posterity. One of them is the fact that, living in seclusion, for three and a half years, he fed on deer, harvesting a dried plant for the winter. This did not stop him from living for almost 79 years.
The omnipresence of dream
The plant "runny" can be found in forests and on forest edges, in meadows and meadows, along village fences and in not very well-groomed gardens. It grows in open, lighted areas and in the shade of trees.
The straight and hollow stem of the dream during flowering can be mistaken for the stem of the hogweed. But the height of the bush is smaller (40-100 cm) and the leaves are not at all large, like those of the hogweed, but relatively small, twice and three times trifoliate, light green in color.
With its branchy roots, the runny loosens the earth well. True, they are so fertile that they leave almost no room for other plants. It grows to runny on any soil. Winter-hardy, she is not afraid of spring frosts, emerging from the ground in early spring.
The chemical composition of the dream
Looking at the juicy stems of the dream, there is no doubt that it is 85% water. But this water is not simple, but saturated with sugars, protein substances, fiber, carotene and vitamins, including vitamin C. In addition, it contains a number of trace elements useful for humans: boron, iron, manganese, copper, titanium.
The study of wild plants, the identification of their nutritional qualities expands human freedom, making him less dependent on modern food surrogates produced by industrial enterprises.
The usefulness of dreaming for humans
The use of sleepiness in human nutrition helps to establish metabolism in the body, improve the functioning of the digestive system, remove excess fluid, and relieve inflammation.
Dreaming rescued people in the wartime hard times, in the years of poor harvest. There was such an expression in Russia: "I would only live to dream." Snow is still holding here and there, and green sprigs of snow are already ready for dressing soups, cabbage soup, okroshka, green salads, casseroles, omelets, pancakes and pies.
Sleep goes well with potatoes, Jerusalem artichoke, various herbs, nettle, burdock root.
Hearty breakfast
