It seems that few people know about it nowTea oilmore than a decade ago,This edible oil is sought after by many peopleThis oil has many other benefits, but why are so few people eating it now?
Camellia oil isExtracted from the ripe seeds of the Camellia oleifera treeThe nutritional value of natural high-grade edible oil is higher than that of olive oilIt is one of the four major woody vegetable oils and is known as the "king of oils".
Camellia oleiferaPrefer a warm environment, plusPlenty of sunshineCamellia oleifera and fruits will grow very well, which is also one of its disadvantagesOnce the temperature drops, it can lead to the decline of flowers and fruits on the Camellia oleifera plant.
Camellia oleifera also has high requirements for moisture, thereforeCamellia oleifera is widely cultivated in southern cities, and Camellia oleifera is our countryA tree species endemic to the South
About Camellia oleiferaThere is also a legendAccording to legend, in the late Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang led the army to hunt down Zhu YuanzhangZhu Yuanzhang fled all the way to Jianchang.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to a camellia forestAn old farmer is picking Camellia oleifera fruits, Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang running for his life in a panichelped cover his ears and steal the bell to save Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
The pursuers left without finding any trace of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the old farmer asked him what was going onI saw the wounds on his body.
The old peasant took out his ownSecret tea oil, justApply to wounds for treatment, recuperating for a few days at the old farmer's houseThe wound slowly heals and gets better.
Zhu Yuanzhang thanked the old farmer for his helpAlso remembered this tea oil, after he is famous, he will put itTea oil is sealed as the imperial food oil of the imperial palace。It can be seen that the wonder of Camellia oleifera.
So,What are the specific effects of tea oil?
Camellia oleifera is an endemic tree species in the south, where the temperature is suitable, the soil contains a lot of minerals, plus the sun and water bathCamellia oleifera is also very valuable.
usThere is an indispensable fatty acid in the human body, called unsaturated fatty acids, is good for our health.
However, this fatty acidIt cannot be synthesized on its own in our human body, we need to consume relevant foods to meet the body's needs, and foods containing unsaturated fatty acids are roughlyIt can be divided into fish, oil, vegetables, nuts, and many more.
The oils we eat in our daily life are like soybean oil, peanut oil, etc., which contain more or less unsaturated fatty acids.
But it's worth mentioningCamellia oil is richer in unsaturated fatty acids than these two oils, evenUp to 90%., which can reduce cholesterol concentrations.
If you know a little bit about it, you know,High cholesterol concentrations can cause many diseases, so it is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
In addition to that,Unsaturated fatty acids are also known as "beauty acids"., can help to become smooth and tender, effectively soothe scalp hair roots, and can make hair grow better.
Camellia oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and regular consumption has many benefits for the bodyIt is also recorded in the Chinese PharmacopoeiaIn addition to being able to nourish the face and hair, there are more medicinal properties.
"Tea oil is cool, cool blood and stop bleeding, clear heat and detoxify. Indications for liver blood loss, deworming. Good for the stomach and intestines, bright eyes "and clouds" tea seeds. Bitter and fragrant, the main treatment of shortness of breath and cough, to the scale".
Very discussableLi Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".There are more detailed records, which shows how valuable the pure natural green tea oil is.
With the development of the times, it seems that this kind of vegetable oil is not often seen, and it seems that few people go to buy tea oil specificallyWhy is no one willing to eat this nutritious tea oil?
All we know is how valuable tea oil is, but what we don't know is that it's thereHow difficult the making process is behind it.
Pick ripe Camellia oleifera fruit and go throughHulling, drying seeds, crushing, steaming, frying, oil extractionand so on, although it is a pure natural extractionThere is no room for error in between.
Previously, most of the processes were done manually, with preliminary preparations such as fruit selection, peeling, sun drying, and so onAll require manpower
Moreover, processingThe extraction method is also relatively primitiveThere will be more or less impurities mixed into each process, tooNot very hygienic focused
The production side is not careful,No matter how good the raw materials are, there is no way to process them into mellow tea oil.
Maybe some people in the south will grow their own oil and keep it for themselves, and some of them are relatively large, waiting for others to come to buy Camellia oleifera fruitsand then to the factory for production and processing.
And then there's usIt's hard to keep the truth intactIf you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that it is sold in the marketTea oil** is a little higher.
Because of the ** reason, someThe merchant had bad intentions, the cost of land for the oil sells for more money, probably in pure tea oilMixed with other oils.
Therefore, when buying tea oil, you must see whether it is compliant and regularDo not eat or buy cooking oil from unknown sources.
Some of the oil is introduced as pure natural tea oil, but it may be in an oil potI don't know what kind of oil it isIt's for sale.
There is a trick to distinguish the real from the fake. Actually, camellia oilThe smoke point is higher than that of other oils, generally around 260 degrees,Very little smoke comes out during stir-frying
That is, if **pour tea oil when stir-frying, ifThe oil smoke looks relatively largeSo,It's fakeIf you want to know the real thing, you can give it a try.
Camellia oil is indeed very nutritious and is known as:"Longevity oil" and "soft in oil**".But at the same time such a high-quality oil alsoIt is more expensive to sell, so I don't buy it in general.
Usually we eat the most corn oil, soybean oil, and olive oil, if we don't do our homeworkIt is known that tea oil is indeed relatively small
Everyone wants to eat oil more hygienic and safer, and secondly, the dishes made should also be delicious, so they will choose better oilIn addition to tea oil, olive oil is even better.
Compared with camellia oil and olive oil, it is true that camellia oil has more nutrientsOlive oil is second.
But in terms of **, people have abandoned tea oilOlive oil with a relatively low nutritional value was chosen.
Camellia oil does have a high nutritional value, so if you want to eat it, you must try itBuy from regular channelsI don't know if you have eaten or bought tea oil in front of the screen?
