"Don't always eat those peanuts and melon seeds, eat some special chickpeas, you will feel very good." When I came out of the "Snacks is Busy" store, my friend made fun of me.
When choosing chickpeas, I was mistaken for ripe peas, and my friend laughed at me fiercely, and when I looked at it, I realized that the chickpeas that look like wild peas are not peas, but a rare bean (native product) in Mulei and Artushara Junxiang, Xinjiang.
Basic Biology About Chickpeas:
Chickpeas are also known as peach beans, Uighur beans, chicken peas, sheep's head beans, brain beans, etc.
It is an annual herbaceous plant of the genus Legume in the saucer flower subfamily Chickpea genus and vetch family. It originated in places such as West Asia, the Mediterranean coast and Ethiopia. It is an important vegetable crop in India and Pakistan. In the northwest of China, Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai and other places have artificial planting, but the main production areas are Mulei in Xinjiang and Harajun Township of Artush City, which are unique to these places and rare leguminous crops.
Chickpeas get their name from their resemblance to an eagle's head and a pointed eagle's beak. It likes to grow and develop in the high-latitude temperate continental arid climate region at an altitude of 1300 to 2800 m.
It is required that the planting area has four distinct seasons, sufficient light and heat, drought and little rain. In spring, the ground temperature rises rapidly, and the weather is changeable. Summers are hot and evaporate quickly. Autumn cools down rapidly. Winters are cold and evaporation is strong. The average annual temperature is 129 13, the extreme maximum temperature is 39, the minimum temperature is minus 32, the number of days with accumulated temperature greater than 30 is not less than 70 days, the frost-free period is not less than 170 days, and the annual precipitation is not less than 118mm.
It is a typical "cool-loving" dry farming rare bean crop, and the growth and development environment belongs to the "special geographical environment" and "unique light" and climatic conditions. Chickpeas are rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, isoflavones and trace elements needed for human growth and development. High protein and low fat, the starch has a chestnut flavor. The isoflavones in beans can delay women's aging and maintain their elasticity.
It is known as "** bean" by ** fitness people, and "net red bean" is the king of beans.
About the different varieties of chickpeas:
There are many varieties of chickpeas, and there are great differences between different varieties. For example, there are great differences in yield, 100-grain weight, yield per plant, number of grains per plant, total number of pods, effective pod rate, deflated pod rate, and empty pod rate.
The best performer for the comprehensive trait was Ushi chickpeas, followed by 223 chickpeas and 174 chickpeas. The highest plant height was 186 chickpea varieties, and the lowest plant height was 174 chickpea varieties.
Chickpeas are sown in early April every year, and seedlings emerge after 8 days and 10 days.
The whole growth period is 110 120 days. The growth period of about 110 days is an early-maturing variety, such as 981,186 chickpeas. The longest growth period is 223 chickpeas, about 122 days.
Chickpeas have both double-grain pods and single-grain pods, with the variety with the most double-pods being 174. The cultivar with the highest deflated pod rate is the A 1 variety, which is actually 201, 213, 186 varieties. The variety with a low empty pod rate and a low number of empty pods is the 223 variety.
The commonality of chickpea is that the plant height in the field is 65 70 between, and the whole growth period is 110 days to 120 days. The growth is large, the branches are good, the seedlings are neat, erect or semi-erect, the weight of 100 seeds is 24 25g, and the number of grains per plant is 40 45 grains. The beans are white, light yellow or yellow.
The kernels are plump and the yield is high.
Chickpeas can be used in medicine and are commonly used in Uyghur medicine
