Common goatweed is an unusual plant. The grass, which St. Seraphim of Sarov ate for several years, is considered a weed among gardeners. What is her secret? Let's figure it out together.
Slut-grass. What is this plant?
From whining ordinary in Latin is called Aegopodium podagraria. "Aegopodium" literally translates as "goat's foot". This name was assigned to it by Carl Linnaeus because of the outward similarity of the outlines of the leaves with the imprint of a goat's hoof. The second word "podagraria" comes from the Greek "ποδάγρα", which translates as "foot trap". This is due to the fact that the use of sleepweed for pain in the legs has long been known.
As for the Russian name "snyt", there is an opinion that this is a modified word "sned", which means "food". Indeed, there are also names for gouts, such as “snit”, “snitka”, “food-grass”. The nutritional properties of goutweed have been known in Russia for a very long time. The proverb “To live to sleep!” has come down to our days! The thing is that the young leaves and shoots of this herb were used for food after a long winter, when all the stocks of grain and other products were already running out. Snyt and fermented, and salted, cooked cabbage soup with her and dried for future use.
Speaking about the nutritional properties of goutweed, one cannot but recall the fasting feat 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.
The historical fact that during the Great Patriotic War catering workers went to harvest gout for Moscow canteens.
Today, also in the scientific literature, you can find information about the nutritional properties of goutweed. In the Great Medical Encyclopedia, this plant is mentioned in the article "Food Greens" along with the usual dill and parsley.
How to recognize sleepweed among the herbs of our area?
The gout belongs to the family Umbelliferae (Umbellifere). The stem is straight and tubular. It reaches a length of 50 - 100 cm. The leaves are trifoliate, ovoid in shape with a pointed apex and a serrated edge. The leaves are pubescent on the back, and bare above. In the lower leaves, the petioles are more pronounced, as is the division of the leaf blade. The upper leaves have a shorter petiole, widening at the sheath.
The flowers of the goutweed are small, white, collected in an inflorescence "umbrella" with large quantity rays. It blooms in the first months of summer (June-July). After flowering, small brown oblong fruits are formed, flattened on the sides.
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.
