When it comes to invasive alien species, I believe many friends are very familiar with it. But invasive species may actually not be a bad thing, but can be a good thing. Take crayfish as an example, foreign crayfish have always been flooded before.
However, after the introduction of our country, it quickly became a hot summer season. Even now, there is a rather hilarious feeding scene: the crayfish that made Americans helpless was made into a Chinese delicacy, which sparked a cult love among many Americans.
Although crayfish is an exception, the invasion of alien species is actually very harmful. In the case of the alligator gar, if this aquatic killer is not detected and properly treated, the freshwater creatures are likely to be wiped out.
Because alligator gars are not picky eaters, and because of their very large size, they can eat a lot of food every day. If left unchecked in freshwater rivers, it will not only jeopardize the ecological balance but also hit aquaculture hard.
However, maybe the alligator gar can't be eaten now, and it can be eaten later. It is possible that the captivity of alligator gars will also be successful in the near future. In this way, we can also eat the meat of the alligator gar. What's more, the captive breeding of crocodiles has been realized.
The artichokes and crayfish to be introduced today are actually similar, because both are flooded in large quantities abroad, but after being introduced into China, they have the remarkable feature of not having enough to eat. It is reported that foreign countries spend up to 5 billion yuan every year to process artichokes.
Artichoke, also known as Jerusalem artichoke, is a tuber-like terrestrial plant that grows mainly in temperate biomes. Surprisingly, Jerusalem artichoke is a herbaceous plant in its aboveground traits, but it is in sharp contrast to the huge stems underground.
In other words, Jerusalem artichoke is like a side branch of a sweet potato. Because the huge stems of the sweet potato in the ground are a very popular food, and the leaves of the sweet potato vine can also be eaten, but it is more bitter. It's not that many people like to eat sweet potato leaves.
In the case of Jerusalem artichoke, its huge stems are edible. The branches and leaves can be eaten by livestock. Therefore, it has been given the title of a co-crop by some of the United Nations. It can be seen from this that the economic utility value of Jerusalem artichoke is actually very large.
However, foreign countries are spending a lot of money to remove Jerusalem artichoke, one of the important reasons is that they don't know how to eat underground tubers. In other words, the taste of artichoke is very unaccustomed to foreigners. What's more, there are alternative products for artichoke, and ginger is not very common abroad.
But in our country, the role played by the three musketeers of onion, ginger and garlic in cooking cuisine is indispensable. And not only ginger has various food practices, but also ginger and artichok have their own corresponding methods. In particular, if the artichokes are delicious, they are often in short supply.
In general, artichokes are used for consumption. But it can also be used to make inulin. Inulin can be taken by diabetics to lower blood pressure and control sugar. Of course, it can also be used as medicine. Because artichoke has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood.
In terms of medical mechanism, artichoke can be used for some diseases. Because it has a sweet and cool property, it can dispel heat and reduce swelling. It is worth mentioning that modern research has also found that the unexpected joy of artichoke is that it can play a two-way role in regulating diabetes.
In other words, the efficacy of artichoke depends on the consumer's own situation. When the blood sugar level in the body of the eater is significantly increased, artichok can lower blood sugar;
When the blood sugar level in the body of the person who consumes it is significantly reduced, artichoke can raise blood sugar. In short, people with both low and high blood sugar are very suitable for eating artichokes. Because artichokes can effectively cope with both conditions, the effect is obvious after consumption.
Secondly, inulin, extracted from artichoker, can be widely used in a variety of foods such as jellies, candies, and solid beverages. In particular, the proportion of application is the largest in health food and food for the elderly. This is because there are many diabetics among the elderly in our country.
The fructo-oligosaccharides in artichokes can be converted into biodiesel after being processed by a certain production process. Such a major discovery is very positive.
Because the awareness of environmental protection that people have today is actually very strong. More than ever, the slogan that everyone is responsible for protecting the environment has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If this biodiesel can replace diesel, it will undoubtedly help protect the environment.
Especially in the situation where the trend of global oil prices is very obvious. How to survive the energy crisis and protect the environment has become one of the important tasks of people in the contemporary world. This is the case with China's continuous increase in the development and utilization of clean energy in recent years.
We will contribute to the global environment as soon as possible. In 2007, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved a major breakthrough in biodiesel technology, and it is believed that the day of application is not far away.
If the inulin in artichoke can be used and developed on a large scale, so that it can be perfectly converted into biodiesel and widely used, it may be possible to make motor vehicles truly say goodbye to non-renewable energy sources and step into the realm of renewable resources.
If it can really be realized, then the energy crisis of mankind will undoubtedly be solved. At that time, the area under cultivation will undoubtedly be larger, and people will make more and more use of it. In this way, artichokes are a natural treasure trove to be developed.
