Dryopteris qimenensis

In addition to the mountain fern, there is also a kind of fern, which is called the water fern by Qimen people because it grows mostly in the wet places beside streams and rivers. The water fern is a little shorter than the mountain fern, and it also shoots in early spring, which looks like a mountain fern, but the plant is all green like jade, and the view is more tender. Moreover, the edible period of water fern is longer, until the leaves are unfolded, as long as they are not old and hard, they can be eaten. The edible method of water fern is relatively simple, and most of them are fried with bacon or eggs. The color of the water fern is green, the entrance is very tender and smooth, and it has a special fresh taste and a strong flavor of nature. The ancient book Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals praised it as "the beauty of dishes".
