Primroses (trobentice)

Prihaja moj najljubši čas: POMLAD. Ta čas je zame najlepši, saj se narava prebuja in tako se začne sezona nabiranja zelišč, priprave vrtnin in drugih del zunaj. Prva znanilka pomladi je vsekakor trobentica. Kdo ne pozna rumene cvetlice, na katere radi zapiskamo in jo na koncu pojemo? Ima pa trobentica mnoge druge zdravilne lastnosti, ki jih želim s tem člankom predstaviti. 

Navadna trobentica (Primula vulgaris)

Trobentice rastejo zgodaj spomladi od marca do maja, prve pa lahko opazite že januarja. So trajnice. Listi so rahlo nagubani in spodaj dlakavi, cvetovi pa so rumene barve in imajo vonj po medu. Najdemo jih na sončnih travnikih in gozdovih nekje do 1.200m nadmorske višine. 

UPORABA

Trobentice lahko preprosto naberemo med sprehodom, na njo potrobimo in jo pojemo. Če naberemo več pa jih lahko uporabimo sveže za solate ter poparke ali pa jih posušimo za čajne mešanice. Večina ljudi pozna trobentice za popestritev raznih solat ali pripravo samostojne solate. Trobentica je idealna za čiščenje vse zimske navlake iz telesa, saj vsebuje veliko vitamina C. Ko nabiramo cvetove je potrebno paziti, da jih ne pomečkamo. Bodite pozorni, da cvetov ne splahnjujete pod vodo, saj bi tako odplaknili vse zdravilne učinkovine. Pri sušenju moramo biti hitri. Najbolje je, da jih posušimo v sušilniku, ko pa so cvetovi suhi jih shranimo v ne preveč zaprtih posodah ali v papirnatih vrečkah. Posušene cvetove lahko uporabimo za razne čajne mešanice ali pa za samostojni čaj. Iz mladih cvetov se lahko naredi tudi trobentično vino. Uporabne so tudi korenine, katere kopljemo od marca do aprila ali jeseni in jih dobro očistimo, narežemo na nitke ter sušimo v senci. Kot vidimo, je uporabna cela rastlina. 

ZDRAVILNE LASTNOSTI
