There is a plant that it is inIt is a very popular dish on the Chinese table, even to the point of artificial cultivation.
But when he went abroad, he was madly disgusted, because he was crazy to breed and grow abroadMany countries spend huge sums of money every year trying to eradicate it.
What exactly is this plant?Why is it so disliked abroad?
In the early years, China imported many foreign goods, and we added the word "foreign" to these "foreign items" imported from abroadArtichoke is also one of them
Although both artichoke and ginger have a "ginger" character, two plantsExactly two types of plants
The "rename" of the artichoke is called devil ginger,It can also be called Jerusalem artichoke, which is a perennial root-bearing herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Sunflower, while ginger is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Ginger family.
At first glance, the appearance of the two is relatively similarBut it's not quite the same.
Artichoke tubers are mostly irregular spherical or spindle-shaped, have no obvious taste, taste crisp and sweet, and the taste will not be so spicy, while ginger rhizomes are thick, with leaves lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, canIt is clearly smelled and has a spicy taste.
Artichoke is native to North America, introduced to Europe in the 17th century, and later to Chinese mainland, where it prefers to grow in cool and dry placesThe ability to resist drought and cold is very strong, the vitality is extremely tenacious.
Seedlings can also grow at low temperaturesAfter excavation, it likes to grow under the lightIn winter, it is safe to survive even in permafrost.
Artichoke alpine desert wasteland can sprout and grow as long as the rhizome is under the land, and it is also extremely "strong" when resisting wind and sand, is a "good hand" for famine relief
Ginger is produced in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, it prefers warm and humid places, and its ability to tolerate drought and cold is not as good as that of artichokeIt will only grow in the frost-free period and has a weak vitalityOnce it leaves the right environment, it will stop germinating and growing.
Ginger is exactly the opposite of artichoke, itPrefer to grow in a shady place, in the strong sunlight will "wilt", unwilling to continue to grow.
So inWhen cultivating ginger, it is common to build a shed to protect it from the light, or bury ginger cubes in a cool place to let it grow.
Poor soils with poor water retention are alsoNot conducive to ginger growthBecause its root system is not developed, it has very poor drought and flood resistance, and the requirements for the growth environment are particularly particular.
Artichoke is also relatively reproductive, and it will have residual tubers left in the soil after harvesting the fruit, so after the tuber sowing in the first year,There is no need to sow again the next year
Because its own growth and reproduction ability is relatively strong but uneven, it is necessary to pay special attention to its plant distribution, and the degree of density should be graspedThe places that are too dense should be transplanted in time, and the loose ones should be replenished
Ginger propagation uses ginger pieces instead of seedsIt mainly performs asexual reproduction, with a piece of ginger can make it grow a number of ginger from the side and then continue to reproduce the side buds, its base continues to expand and grow to form "Sun Jiang".
Generally speaking, ginger has more branches on the groundThe ginger blocks that grow and multiply underground will also grow more and bigger
Artichokes are extremely fertile and strongThe survivability is also relatively strong, so what is the reason why foreign countries hate artichokes?
The "hometown" of artichokes is in North America, because its sunflower-like flowers are very popular in some countries in Europe and the United States, and they have a soft spot for its appearance.
It is precisely because European and American countries are ignoring the artichoke at the moment that it has directly had an opportunity to multiply and spread to the point of uncontrollable rapid reproductionEurope and the United States have gradually developed a "sense of boredom" with this invasive alien species.
Artichokes are extremely survivable, except in someVery extreme environments can not survive outsideIt will grow tenaciously in arid and hot sandy areas.
The heavy use of machinery in the UK to plough the land will lead to the inside of the landThe artichoke tubers are broken and scattered to more places, come and go, it will make it multiply and grow in various places.
Plant species abroad are relatively simple, when photosynthetic plants absorb sunlightArtichokes compete with them for sunbathing.
A lot of the time,Plants that need photosynthesis can't "grab" artichokes at all, those plants will die one after another if they lack light and are "difficult to breathe", which also happens to fuel the "arrogance" of artichokes and begin to grow wildly unscrupulously.
The consequences of the endless spread of artichokes are alsoresulting in the destruction of certain ecosystems,It was only when the locals realized that the consequences were severe.
Part of the localsChoose to spray with chemicals, but this effect is not obvious, the artichoke will still grow tenaciously and continue to spread outward.
And some peopleIntroduce natural enemies of plants, allowing insects to erode the roots of the artichoke so that it cannot continue to grow.
It's nice to imagine, but it's the oppositeThese insects have no interest in artichokes, I don't like it at all, but I am interested in other more precious plants in the local area, and I have gone to eat rare plants.
LocalsSeeing that the spread of artichokes cannot be controlledThey no longer appreciate the beautiful appearance of the artichoke flowers that look like sunflowers, and they all show their disgust for the artichoke.
In fact, before the locals did this, the relevant ** departments hadIt took a lot of money to eradicate the artichoke creature, but the effect is not good, so later it was gradually left unattended and allowed to grow.
The artichoke which was deeply hated abroad cameChina is indeed a rare delicacy, even to the point where artificial breeding can be timely.
Artichoke does not have the spicy taste of ginger, alsoAccompanied by the crispness of taroThe most common way to eat in our country is cold salad.
First clean the artichokes, depending on the individualIt is customary to peel and cut into thin slices, coupled with the matching of accessories, a delicious cold dish is made, which is very popular.
There is another simple and convenient way to eat itIt is pickled into picklesIf there is a condition at home, you can take out a large vat to marinate.
Wash the artichokes and stack them in the order of a layer of artichoke and a layer of saltAfter successful marinating, it is sour and appetizing, spicy and crispy, and white porridge are the most compatible, obviously European and American countries do not consciously think that such a practice will be extremely tired of artichokes.
When the alien species of artichoke came to China,Because it is very drought tolerant and cold-tolerant, so the way it was planted was very simple and crude at the beginning.
Find a vacant lot and plant a few "seeds" at randomTimely replenishment and transplantationThe next year it will grow a large patch.
If you change to a place with fertile soil and add fertilizer, it is said that at the time of harvest, the yield will be maintained between 3,000-5,000 catties, when it becomes popular, it can be sold for 5 yuan a cattyIt is not a dream to earn 10,000 yuan.
In addition, our country attaches more importance to agricultureA large amount of financial and technical support has been provided, for the artichoke has not been left alone, has always attached great importance to the planting, and actively encourage farmers to plant artichoke.
After continuous accumulation of experience, our country's farmers are inThe cultivation of artichokes has reached the point of perfection
It will be given before sowingRemove the weeds in the land and loosen the soilso that the seeds of artichokes can be kept growing in a comfortable environment.
When the artichoke sprouts,It will "check and fill in the gaps" in a timely mannerLoose areas will be replenished in time, and dense places will be removed.
And it will also depend on the marketDemand to make a plan for the next year's artichoke plantingIn this way, the farmers' output is within a controllable range, and there will be no unsalable state because of the output.
It can be seen in our countryAffection for artichokesIn addition to being able to make delicious meals, artichokes have many other benefits.
Artichoke is a treasure for usNot only is it highly nutritiousIt is also quite versatile.
According to research in recent years, artichoke has a two-way regulating effect on the blood sugar of the human body, which can not only lower the blood sugar of diabetic patients, but alsoIt can raise blood sugar in people with low blood sugar
Studies have shown that artichokes contain oneIt is a substance with a structure very similar to that of the human pancreas
When the body produces high urine glucose, consume an appropriate amountArtichoke can well control the rise of glucose in the urine, which can fully explain that artichoke has the effect of lowering blood sugar.
In addition, when the body is in a state of hypoglycemia,Consuming a certain amount of artichoke will allow the body to produce enough insulinGives relief to the body.
Artichoke has a high starch content, and people who like to eat sweets or starchy foods can eat artichoke as a daily food, on the one handIt can ensure that the body's blood sugar is at a normal valueOn the other hand, it can also guarantee good health.
After continuous research, it has been confirmed that artichoke contains a lot of inulin, which is a functional substance beneficial to the human body, and is beneficial to the adjustment of the body's balance mechanismIt plays an important role in promoting metabolism and other aspects
And according to related reports, artichokes are also rich in fiber, in additionIt can accelerate the peristalsis of the stomach and intestinesThe most special thing is that it can block the absorption of starch and fat, which is a good choice for ** people.
In addition to having a certain guarantee for human health,Artichoke itself is rich in "sugar".After a series of complex chemical processes, biodiesel can be produced after processing by a cell factory.
According to relevant reports, scientists have been looking for more convenient and affordable ways to transform this, which can make this at the lowest costBiodiesel has been commercialized and industrialized
In the face of global oil prices continue to ** in the backgroundwill not be threatened by natural resourcesso that we can be truly autonomous.
Conclusion
Artichoke grows wildly abroad and is hated by everyone, and it cannot be completely eliminated by using countless methods, but it is very popular in ChinaThe artichoke in the eyes of the Chinese is full of treasures
With the continuous improvement of the cultural level, the commercial value of artichoke in China has been developed, but inPlanting also needs to pay attention to the ecological environmentThe growth of other crops cannot be neglected because of the cultivation of ginger.
