芹菜药性最强的部分,是芹菜叶、芹菜根和靠近根部的老秆儿。可惜的是,我们平常吃的时候,往往把这些药性最好的部分给扔掉了芹菜有三种:西芹、药芹和香芹。西芹原来中国是没有的,是西洋品种的芹菜。西芹又粗又长,产量高,口感又脆嫩,这些年渐渐就成为市场主流了。西芹作为蔬菜食用是不错的,但药性比起中国本地品种的芹菜就要稍逊一筹了。药芹,其实就是以前人们最常吃的普通芹菜。这种芹菜是中国本地的传统品种,虽然它不如西芹那么脆嫩,药性却是最强的,所以被称为药芹。 The strongest part of celery is celery leaves, celery root and the old stalks near the roots. It is a pity that when we usually eat, we often throw away the best parts of the three kinds of celery: celery, parsley and parsley. Celery is not the original Chinese, Western varieties of celery. Celery is thick and long, high yield, taste and crisp, these years has gradually become the mainstream of the market. Celery is good for eating as a vegetable, but its potency is less than celery in China’s native variety. Parsley, in fact, is the most common eating celery in the past. This celery is a traditional Chinese local species, although it is not as crisp celery, the drug is the strongest, it is called medicine Qin.
