The "goat eggs" from the countryside are so amazing

When you hear goat eggs, you may not know what they are. Goat eggs is a common term in our hometown. It is actually called three-medicine eggs, and in some places it may be called three-medicine beans. If you still don’t know what it is, if you say yam, you should know what it is.

In fact, the reason why it is commonly called goat egg is because the appearance of this three-medicine egg looks very much like sheep poop. I remember the first time I ate yam eggs when I was a child, I refused to eat it, saying that it was goat shit and I didn’t want to eat it. No matter what my mother said, I just refused to eat. Now I think it’s funny.

In fact, yam eggs are not the seeds of the three herbs. Yams are grown with yam seeds, and yam eggs are the seeds produced on the vines that grow on the surface of the yam. According to the old people, the shape of yam eggs is like kidneys. There is a saying that like replenishes like, so in my hometown in the countryside, there has always been a saying that eating yam eggs can nourish the kidneys.

The yam eggs that I didn’t want to eat when I was a child are now my treasures, because it has been proven that the three-medicine eggs do have a good effect in nourishing the body. There are many medicinal foods with three-medicine eggs, which have a good nourishing effect on the human internal organs, especially the lungs, kidneys, and spleen.

In the past, yam eggs were eaten dry and boiled, but now it is different. Yam eggs are eaten fried, stewed, and even in candied haws. But my favorite now is the sugar-coated three-herb egg. What about you? What can you make with the yam egg?
