Fontos táplálék ínség idején a tarack ( Agropiron repens ) gyökerének lisztje.

A közönséges tarackbúza (Agropyron repens) – (tarackbúza, ebgyógyítófű ), pázsitfű félék családjábatartozó, Európában, Ázsia mérsékelt éghajlatú részein, Észak-Afrikábangyom-, és gyógynövény . Népiesnevei: tarackbúza, ebgyógyítófű , tarackfű , tarack.

A tarackbúza mérsékelt égövi területeken gyakori. Magyarországon felhagyott kultúrák, erdő területek és

szántók gyomtársulásainak tömegesen elő forduló, társulásalkotó gyomnövénye. A tarackbúza legelő kön,réteken, kopár területeken igen gyakori. Gyakori és kifejezetten terhes gyomnövény. Közismertek a földalatti, világos színű tarackjai, amelynek minden darabja újból teljes értékű növényt képes kihajtani

A tarackbúza évelő szálfű , töve messze kúszó tarackokkal terjed. Magas növésű , részben nem virágzó hajtásaival nagy csoportokatképez. Egy-egy tő nek 10-200 hajtása van. Minél idő sebb, hajtásai annál sű rű bbek. A szárak 20-250 centiméter magasak, felállók, alulolykor hajlottak, simák. Levelei a szárral együtt tompazöldek, néha kékesszürke deres bevonattal, ami letörölhető . A hegyeslevélfülecskék röviden pillásak körülölelik a szárat. A nyelvecske 1 mm-nél kisebb, hártyás szegély alakjában fejlő dik ki. A levélhüvelyhengeres, kopasz vagy sző rös. A levéllemez kihegyesedő , 6-18 centiméter hosszú, 3-10 milliméter széles, felül rövid sző rös, ezért kisséérdes. A levélerek áteső fényben fehér csíkok. Kalásza 8-12 centiméter hosszú, felálló vagy elhajló, ritkábban bókoló. A kalásztengelyenkét oldalon ülnek a füzérkék, ezek lazák, vagy tömöttebben állóak, 10-20 mm hosszúak, 3-8 virágúak, többé-kevésbé elliptikusak,laposan összenyomottak. A füzérke szélesebbik oldala néz a szár felé. A pelyvák 12 mm hosszúra is kifejlő dhetnek, lándzsásak,ormósak, az ormók a csúcsuk felé érdesek is lehetnek, ereik száma 3-7. Csúcsuk szálkaszerű csúcsba fut ki. A külső toklász elérheti a13 mm hosszúságot, ereinek száma 5, gyakran rövid szálkaszerű csúcsa van. A belső toklásznak két ormója érdes.

Gyű

jtése: Több méter hosszú és elágazó tarackjait, virágzás (Agropyri repentis flos) idején (június-augusztus) gyű jtik, rendszerint gyomos területekrő l szántás után boronával szedik össze. A tarackosgyökértörzset (Agropyri repentis rhizoma), a levélmaradványoktól és gyökerektő l megtisztítva naponszárítják. (beszáradás 2,5:1).

Hatóanyagai: 3-8% polifruktán (inulinszerű triticin), 10% nyálka-poliszacharid, szaponin, 2-3% cukoralkohol(mannitol, inozitol), 0,01-0,05% illóolaj, agropyren poliin, vanillosid, fenilkarbonsavak, kovasav, szilikátok.

Alkalmazás: A népgyógyászatban is használt vizelethajtó, vizeletképzést fokozó szer (diureticum)hólyaghurut, hólyag- és vesekő megbetegedések valamint köhögés és légcső hurut ellen. Külső leg hámosító,fő leg pattanásos bő r kezelésére használják.

Egyéb felhasználás: kiszárított gyökerefüstölő ként is használatos volt a középkori Észak-Európában.
