Description of the signs of the field field, areas of application and features, collection and procurement, contraindications, recipes with the field field in case of diseases. Field Yarut (Thlaspi arvense) is an annual herb, which is a member of the genus of the same name Thlaspi, which belongs to the Cabbage family (Brassicaceae). It is often also called the Field Talaban. The homeland of this interesting representative of the herbal world of the planet is all regions of Europe, the Far and Middle East. However, this herb is not found on the Arabian Peninsula. In the countries of Central Asia, in the territories of Western Siberia, you can also see this unpretentious specimen of flora. Yarutka likes to settle along the roads, where there is sunshine all day, as well as on dry soils of overgrowth, on wasteland and fallow lands, dumps. Like a weed, the field longline can become a weed in agricultural land (where winter or spring crops are planted).
It is interesting that from the Greek translation of the Latin name of the yarutka Thlaspi arvense means "squeezed shield", as the ancients compared the fruitlets of the plant with the outlines of protective armor. In the yarut, the root has a rod-like shape with short root processes. The stem of the smelt can grow to a maximum height of half a meter, but the very minimum is only 10 cm. It can be simple or branched.
Basal leaves usually form a rosette. The leaves, which are located below, at the base of the stem, are attached to the petiole processes, have an oval or oblong shape, and are serrated at the edges. Those that are closer to the apex are sessile, stalk-embracing, resembling arrows in appearance.
In flowers, the sepal length is measured in the range of 20-25 mm, there are usually 4 units, the number of petals is the same. The buds are painted in a whitish color. The petals are oblong and can grow up to 3-5 mm in length. The single pistil is surrounded by six stamens. From the flowers, racemose inflorescences are collected at the tops of the stems. The flowering of the field jelly occurs in the spring, summer and autumn months, while several generations grow.
The plant bears fruit in pods, in which the appearance is rounded or slightly rounded-oval, flattened when ripe becomes yellow, which is so similar to a coin. It measures 12–18 mm in length, and reaches 11–16 mm in width. The seed is placed in this pod, which has a wide wing of the husk at the edges and a notch in the upper part.
The seed is colored brown, with grooves drawn on it. The length can be up to 1, 75–2, 5 mm with a width of 1, 25–1, 75 mm. One plant produces up to 10 thousand seeds per season.
The people have several names for this plant: money, toad grass, penny, vertebra, verednik, splinter and hairs, bug and klopnik, as well as broom, sweet clover. All these strange names are associated with the way the pods of the yarrow look - they have a rounded-oval shape and indeed they can be mistaken for a coin or an insect, it's like someone! But even a popular belief is connected with the appearance of the fruit: in the old days, those who wanted to get rich wore a stalk with plant pods under their clothes on their bodies. Even sorcerers and sorcerers advised wearing a few Talaban seeds sewn into a satin or silk bag of yellow shades to attract wealth.
When herbalists go to collect plants for the preparation of tinctures, inexperienced botanists can often confuse the field barn with a shepherd's bag in appearance.
The composition of the field longline and its domestic use
Most of all, the plant contains ascorbic acid in its parts. And also young leaves in their composition contain up to 20% of crude protein, fiber at 25% and extractive components up to almost 40%, not nitrogen-containing. The oil, which is obtained from the seed material of the roach, is actively used in modern technology, there it is about 30%.
Yarutka field has a strong garlic smell. All this is due to the fact that sinigrin glycoside is present in the vegetative organs of the plant. If a herd of cows goes to pastures where there is a lot of talaban field, then the entire milk yield will have a bitter taste and a garlic spirit. Naturally, such milk cannot be offered to children in drinking.
The aroma of the plant resembles not only garlic, it is often compared to mustard, therefore the field jar is used in cooking because of its fragrant smell. This pleasant, rich aroma awakens the appetite. Therefore, you can collect still young leaves and shoots of the plant and use instead of spices (marjoram seasoning). They are salted, frozen, dried and then ground into powder. You can add to first courses and prepare sauces for meat.
Recommendations for the collection and procurement of medicinal plants
For medical purposes, it is necessary to use not all parts of the field longline, but only its stem, leaves, flowers and seeds (in general, the entire aerial half). Most suitable time from May to August for collecting and harvesting grass. But if you need to get pods, in which there will be ripe seeds, then you will have to wait for August and September.
Drying of the collected material is carried out on a flat surface in the open air, the layer of grass should not be thick, this will contribute to uniform drying. The horizontal surface is covered with a cloth made of natural material (cotton, linen or calico) or laid on paper. Often sieves, trays, trays, or sheet metal are used. Under the bright sun, the collected grass is not spread; you will need to build a canopy.
If the medicinal herb is dried in the attic, then you will need to ensure that condensation does not form there or moisture does not accumulate. Frequent ventilation (movement of air masses) will be required, otherwise the prepared raw materials will deteriorate and rot.
When the grass is completely dry, it is recommended to pour it into boxes made of thick cardboard or bags made of canvas (do not use plastic bags - the grass can suffocate!). In the future, it will take about a year for the prepared raw materials to dry enough, for this it is recommended to keep the blanks in a dry room.
