According to legend, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yue was defeated by Wu, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and his wife became slaves in Wu. At that time, the country of Yue was poor and the people used wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. There was an old man who picked a handful of wild amaranth stalks on the Lushan Mountain. The tender stems and leaves were eaten, but the old and hard stalks could not be cooked for a while. It was a pity to abandon them, so he hid them in a crock for cooking later. Unexpectedly, a few days later, there was a burst of fragrance in the jar, and the old man took it and steamed it. It was cooked as soon as it was steamed, and its taste was far better than that of stems and leaves. The people heard it and followed suit, which has been passed down to this day. "Mildew amaranth stalk" is bright in color, green as blue, fragrant, crisp and tender, delicious and tasty, which helps digestion and increases appetite. It is most suitable for next meal.
