A person who is friends with the garden, with nature always has his own recipes that help to live and enjoy life! Let me share one of them with you. My recipe from the area is very simple, but very useful))

What we need to prepare:

• snyt
• A wish
• a little time

And now for the preparation:

In a glass bowl, gout is slightly sprinkled with coarse salt.

I wanted to sprinkle it with the usual movement of salt, but at the last moment I took the camera.

I was surprised by the eldest son, who on the eve found us in the forest and tried to understand what kind of dream it was, the appearance of which our ancestors so expected in the spring, who even called it “food”. The very name "snyt", or "food", means "delicious food". But how to explain on the phone, not always, and pictures on the Internet will help.

We were just collecting lines at the time of the call, my husband, with his usual thoroughness, examined the clearing on the outskirts of the forest, and I just clapped my eyes at the surrounding spring trees, old stumps, earthen and stone female bumblebees scurrying back and forth, looking for a mink, emerging young shoots of all kinds plants that are sometimes unrecognizable at the very beginning of growth.

So there is a photo, but random, nevertheless, not for the sake of sleepiness, they ended up in the forest.

It's right there too

Around the same common dream.

Stitch and young shoots of goutweed

And here she is all around. It is a sunny place here, so the sprouts quickly threw out their leaves, you can also collect such ones, since they are still tender and juicy, they break off easily. But it is better to collect shoots growing in shady or semi-shady places, they, it seemed to me, have a softer and better taste. In shady places, gout does not bloom, but multiplies due to shoots growing from the roots. Best of all, those that resemble a compressed or beginning to unclench "cam". They can be torn off directly with a fleshy petiole. In any case, this is how my father’s neighbor in our village taught me back in the 90th year, who, by the way, taught me to make Kostroma black salt Thursday, and how to properly collect herbs, and pickle porcini mushrooms, and collect and dry lines, cook birch kvass, oatmeal jelly, shared a recipe for tincture of potato flowers “from everything”, lilac flower oil for joints and much more, previously unknown to me.

Multiple collection rules gout leaves for food purposes:

• collect better on clear and sunny days;
• only healthy plants should be collected;
• can not be collected near roads, industrial enterprises, outbuildings;
• collection is excluded during midday hours;
• it is better to collect in the second half of the day - from 16 to 18 hours (at this time, the plants accumulate the nutrients wasted during the night as much as possible).

How to salt sleep for the future:

• 30 g coarse salt
• 500 g of goutweed leaves (only leaves are possible, but I prefer with a petiole)

The green mass will settle, then it can be placed in glass jars. A new portion of gout can always be added here even before the can is full. With proper salting, the juice does not flow out, the entire mass of leaves is simply wet.

There should be no grains of salt; when laying in a jar, it must be filled tightly, leaving no voids. The workpiece is stored very reliably, for many years I have never seen mold appear. The first dish of sleepweed, which my neighbor treated me a long time ago, was boiled potatoes in rustic sour cream with salted sleepweed. I ate these salty twigs, as we usually eat herring with potatoes. It was unusual and delicious. After this unpretentious dish, I began to make such preparations myself. Another way of harvesting gout is drying. But again, you need to collect the same young and juicy leaves. They can then be used to season soups and make sauces.

Saucepan with soup on the stove, dried gout was added at the beginning of cooking

Dried young goutweed leaves can be finely powdered and, mixed with red pepper or dry plantain powder, used to season any dishes.

From fresh leaves collected in summer (young, but with unfolded leaves), a salad is good:

• a handful of goutweed leaves (leaves should be poured with boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drained)
• a tablespoon of grated horseradish
• sour cream

Dried or salted gout can be added to any soup, be it noodle soup, sauerkraut soup, borscht, pickles. In early spring, gout is good to use for cooking okroshka along with sour, sorrel, nettle, green onions, grated horseradish, fresh cucumber (from the store) and slices of boiled fish - red or white. Kvass can be diluted with boiled water. In summer, you can cook botvinya - a cold soup based on kvass and a decoction of beet tops. It was not in vain that the people said: "What is Aksinya - such is botvinya." The hostess was evaluated by the taste of the dish, by the art of cooking. In the classic “full” version of botvinia, it is necessary to add boiled red or white fish, fresh or salted, sorrel, spinach, green onions, nettle, quinoa, gout. As well as fresh cucumbers, grated horseradish, dill.

Potato-zucchini soup with gout and grated cheese- this is a winter version of the use of sleepweed. Salted gout is pre-cut here, added at the very end of cooking:

Zucchini casserole with creamy sauce with salted gout, onion, garlic, suneli hops and walnuts:

Salads with gout can be very different, a huge variety of options is acceptable.
Beetroot with pickled onions, salted goutweed, black currants and pine nuts.

Salad with Beijing cabbage, goutweed, celery, garlic (you can also chop a boiled egg here)

Another salad with goutweed - from beets, carrots, garlic, blackcurrants, chopped walnuts and basil from a flower pot:

Blackcurrant goes well with beets, frozen berries and mashed with sugar are also suitable (I make such blanks with honey). An important detail for those who do not like the taste of fresh goutweed is that fresh and salted herbs differ in taste.

Snyt does not suppress the taste of hot spices, it gets along well with ginger, garlic, onions, peppers and other spices and seasonings that are “aggressive” and dominant in taste, because it is neutral.

From the succulent leaves of goutweed with petioles, you can prepare a vitamin sandwich mass:

• pass two handfuls of leaves through a meat grinder (you should not do this in a chopper),
• add grated horseradish, mustard and tomato sauce,
• to taste - ground dill or caraway seeds, salt.

• boil beets, carrots, potatoes
• cut vegetables into cubes
• add chopped fresh cucumber
• chop blanched goutweed
• cut green onion
• season with vegetable oil (you can add tomato sauce) or mayonnaise
• sprinkle with dill and parsley

In pre-Peter times, snoot in Russia was salted for the winter in barrels instead of cabbage.

Given the exceptional benefits of this plant, rich in protein, fiber, sugars, vitamin C, carotene, hematopoietic elements, the widespread availability of goutweed, I dare to hope that my story will not be superfluous. Moreover, spring is just around the corner ... it is already here!

Every time I wait for early spring to get out to my dacha. And there, breathe clean air, bow to Mother Earth, ask for blessings for work and a generous harvest. The main thing is to get the vitamin from the first young plants. For example, sleep...


But most of all I look forward to the first emerald grass. As I look around, I already see what will appear on my table. Of course, salads and dishes with young greens: nettle, dandelion, oily currant leaves and goutweed. The plant is not simple, but healing. From hunger, the abyss will not give, and it is tasty.

Useful sleepy feeds and heals

Everyone knows sleep. And many get rid of it like a weed. In no case. This is a real helper, nurse, healer.

Snot grows everywhere in the European part of Russia, in the North Caucasus, the southern strip of Siberia. We can meet her in the forest and at the edge, in clearings, in partial shade and even in deep shade, where she simply does not bloom.

She climbs out of the undergrowth into the sun, where she simply becomes smaller. We unsuccessfully struggle with it in our suburban areas. I didn’t choose a piece of rhizome, I didn’t destroy it before the seeds ripened, the gout will not even wait for the next season to come - it will grow back. But do we know what a wonderful plant this is?

So, common gout is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the vast Umbelliferae family with a creeping horizontal rhizome, a tubular stem, double-triple lower leaves and triple upper ones. The flowers, collected in a complex umbrella, are white and small. There are decorative varieties of gout, less aggressive.

How wonderful is sleep

First of all, I would like to note that sleep is “a well-forgotten old”. In Russia, there was an old expression "To sleep to live." Our ancestors were wise people. After all, gout is both a food product, and a medicine, and an excellent honey plant, and a fodder base for livestock.

Snyt is a nurse

Snot begins to grow in early spring. Petioles and young leaves are eaten. They can be easily distinguished from mature ones - they are lighter in color, slightly sticky to the touch and seem to be slightly corrugated. They have a pleasant aroma and a slight nutty flavor.

Goutweed leaves are used fresh in salads, boiled, replacing cabbage, stewed. They are added to soups. Petioles are consumed fresh, salted, pickled. Dried gout is used as. And trust me, it's really delicious. And besides, it will easily make up for the spring lack of vitamins.
To be able to supply young leaves to your table for as long as possible, just cut the plant at the root, and in a short time it will grow back better than before. By the way, and

Snyt is the most valuable weed! This is the herb that Noah fed the animals he embodied... Gout helps the body and work in it... the most powerful processes! Be sure to eat a few pounds in Spring!

Snyt ordinary - an unusual plant. The grass, which St. Seraphim of Sarov ate for several years, is considered a malicious weed among gardeners. My neighbor, for example, is waging an unequal battle with her. While sleepy wins, but if the neighbor guesses to start eating this “nasty grass”, the advantage may be abandoned on its side.

Sleep is successfully used: 1. for removing harmful substances from the body, replenishing with vitamins, micro- and macroelements;

2. as an antifungal and bactericidal agent; high iron content helps to cope with anemia; 3. antitumor effect is used for cancer treatment and prevention; as an antispasmodic and a means of strengthening capillaries; 4.to lower cholesterol, prevent thrombosis; with dizziness, respiratory diseases,

5. gout preparations are actively used in inflammatory processes; used in cooking in fresh, dried, marinated form.

What is the secret of sleep? Let's figure it out together.

Speaking about the nutritional properties of goutweed, one cannot help but recall the fast of St. Seraphim of Sarov. Living as a hermit in the wilderness of a forest on a hill near the Sarovka River, five versts from the monastery, Father Seraphim did not even take bread from the brethren for several years.

Everyone wondered what he ate. He discovered this secret shortly before his death in 1832. It turned out that the priest was gathering snot, put it in peas, adding a little water, and put it in the oven. According to him, the food came out glorious. And for the winter he dried this grass. That is what fed me for a thousand days. I don’t know how true this story is, and whether there was anything else in the diet of the old man, but gout is an important food plant and a lot of historical facts speak for it.

For example, the one that, during the Great Patriotic War, catering workers went out to harvest snow for Moscow canteens.

The rhizomes of the plant are long and creeping. It is with this that the omnipresence of the dream is connected.

No matter how much gardeners try to get her out of their plots, she will definitely crawl from her neighbors, or just from the street. Long rhizomes resemble thick threads, which is why there is another explanation for the name of the plant "with a thread." These threads spread in all directions and even to a depth of up to a meter deep into the earth. If you give them free rein, then the whole area will be flooded with gout, and cultivated plants simply will not be able to develop. That is why she is so disliked by gardeners, and they are waging an uncompromising struggle with her.

Useful and nutritional properties of goutweed are due to its chemical composition, which is as close as possible to the formula of human blood. In this regard, people can take it for a long time, and its overdose is simply impossible.

Young leaves and shoots of goutweed contain a large amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Therefore, its use in food has helped and helps people cope with spring beriberi and prevent the development of scurvy. It also contains malic, citric acids, choline, carotene, bioflavonoids, coumarins, carbohydrates, proteins, mineral salts, essential oils and resins. Among the mineral salts are salts of potassium, calcium, iron, copper, cobalt, manganese, boron and titanium.

Thanks to such a rich chemical composition, gout has a wide range of medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, restorative, analgesic, choleretic, healing, antifungal, detoxifying, sedative and other actions.

In folk medicine, recipes for the use of goutweed for various ailments have been preserved. Since ancient times, it has been used to treat gout, a disease of the joints caused by the deposition of uric acid salts inside the joint due to metabolic disorders. For this, poultices from the herb goutweed were used.

These poultices can also be used in the treatment of arthritis, arthrosis and rheumatism. Due to the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, the condition of these diseases is greatly facilitated. Here it is also possible to make compresses from fresh leaves, and not only from dried raw materials.

The same actions determine the possibility of using gout in the treatment of inflammation of skeletal muscles - myositis, as well as skin diseases such as exudative diathesis and erysipelas.

Also, gout can be used externally as an antifungal agent in the form of infusions and as part of ointments.

Goutweed is rich in vitamin C, so it has a stimulating effect on the immune system and strengthens the body, which is exactly what we need after a long winter.

The cytotoxic effect of this plant allows it to be used to prevent the formation of tumors. And the detoxifying action helps to cope with the intoxication of the body caused by chemotherapy, and any other toxins.

Snyt helps fight blood clots, preventing their appearance, as well as dissolving already formed ones.

The coumarin included in its composition contributes to the activation of the processes of splitting low-density lipoproteins that clog blood vessels. Thus, gout can be used for atherosclerosis.

There is also evidence of the use of goutweed rhizomes in the fight against depression, neurosis and insomnia in the form of baths with decoction.

Snyt has only one contraindication - it is individual intolerance.

We will leave the recipe for medicinal potions to phytotherapists. And let's talk about how to use gout in the best possible way - that is, in the form of food.

The easiest option is gout salad

Wash the leaves and stems and finely chop. Boil the egg and chop with a fork. Mix with leaves. Salt and season with mayonnaise (or sour cream).

The second simple option is soup with green gout

The broth is up to you, I do not cook broths at all. Add potatoes, grated carrots. And, finally, greens - the tops of young nettles and leaves of goutweed. Can be topped with sour cream.

Caviar from dreamweed

Thoroughly washed and drained gout grass (500 gr.) Finely chop, sprinkle with salt (2 tablespoons) and tamp into a sterile jar until the juice is released. Keep refrigerated. Use as a seasoning for soups and other dishes.

Stuffing for pies from goutweed

Dip 1 kg of gout grass in boiling water until softened. Cut in small pieces. Add 3 cups of boiled rice and 3 eggs. Salt to taste. Make pies.

Dreamweed casserole

Cut the gout, boil quickly, mix with vegetable oil or butter. Place on a baking sheet sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top as well. Bake in the oven.

And, for a snack, an interesting fact! Previously, sellers of vegetables and fruits shifted their goods with gout, which significantly increased its shelf life. And this was not just a superstition - in our time it has been established that the goutweed contains natural pesticides that have antifungal and bactericidal activity. Thus, the gout protects vegetables and fruits from bacteria and fungi.
