Thorn bud

The buds and tender leaves of Aralia elata are edible, which is a popular delicacy in China, Korea and Japan because of its unique fragrance and meat flavor. Its fruit is spherical and black. The buds of thorn buds are white, tender and delicious, belonging to famous wild vegetables, and local residents often use scrambled eggs. Japanese people eat a lot, because it is pollution-free and has its special flavor, so it is also common in the menus of hotels and restaurants, such as chicken with minced chicken and dried seaweed with prickly buds.
