Cress, commonly known as "wild celery", has certain pharmacological and therapeutic value. Water celery has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Their roots, stems, leaves and seeds can be used as medicine, so they are called "medicine in the kitchen" and "medicinal celery". Cress, like parsley and dry celery, has the functions of invigorating the stomach, diuresis, purifying blood, regulating menstruation, lowering blood pressure, and calming.

When picking cress in the wild, you must pay attention to the distinction. What is truly called wild celery is poisonous. The most obvious distinction between water celery and wild celery is whether there are hairs on the stems. The stems of wild celery are hairy, but water celery does not. Secondly, the leaves of wild celery are wider and shorter and more like house celery, while the leaves of water celery have slender teeth and slender stems.

Cress is very fragrant, fried food and cold dressing are very tender. It can be seen everywhere in the countryside and fields before and after Qingming. Pay attention to distinguish whether it is toxic or not before picking it.

Every year when we return to our hometown during Qingming Festival, my mother and I will pick back some cress and tender wormwood leaves. This year's Ching Ming Festival, I didn't go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. It was my mother who brought back a lot of cress and wormwood for me. Haha, I am so happy, I can taste wild vegetables from my hometown again..."
