A mysterious bean food quietly appeared on the table of the village people. This bean actually contains deadly and highly toxic ingredients
Sounds incredible!Let's unveil the mysterious ingredient of "knife beans"!Story to.
Hundreds of years ago, a group of businessmen from Portugal brought knives and beans to China
Originally, it was only planted as a decorative plant in temples and official residences, showing an exotic atmosphere.
The shape of the fruit resembles a sharp sword, hence the name "knife bean". It is found by farmers to be rich in protein
It became an important protein** and became popular in rural areas. Farmers will shred and blanch the fresh sword beans
Dry, then put in a seasoning jar, ferment with chili, garlic and other ingredients to make sour and hot knife beans, full of deliciousness.
However, knife beans also contain certain toxicity, and can be poisoned when eaten raw or not thoroughly cooked.
With the development of society and the change of people's demand for food, knife beans have gradually withdrawn from the market. Modern people prefer a wide variety of varieties
Non-toxic, delicious vegetables, and the special taste of knife beans does not match the taste of many people's diet. At the same time, the growth cycle of knife beans is relatively long, and it is not a crop with high economic benefits for farmers.
Under the conditions of the market economy, farmers have also gradually given up planting knife beans, which has also accelerated its disappearance on the table.
However, despite the gradual disappearance of the bean, there are still some places and groups of people who still love it. Some people believe that the knife bean represents the memories and emotions of the hometown, and is a representative of the unique local flavor. Especially in some remote rural areas, the local elderly have a soft spot for knife beans, and they will make a variety of special dishes during traditional festivals to evoke childhood memories. It can be said that the knife bean carries not only the nutrition of the food itself, but also contains nostalgia and cultural heritage. In addition to knife beans, there are many wild vegetables that are gradually disappearing. For example, purslane
Perilla, dandelion and camelina were once delicacies on people's tables, but with the intensification of urbanization and environmental pollution, their existence is becoming less and less. Therefore, instead of ignoring the value of any one traditional crop, we should actively explore how to transform these seemingly obsolete foods into new favorites of the modern market.
