The domestic food culture is very rich, each region also has its own specialties, along with people's requirements for the quality of life is getting higher and higher, some of the past neglected, but the nutritional value of the ingredients are gradually valued by people, such as the past peach gum, is a disease that everyone dislikes, but now it has become a good product for beauty and beauty. There are also some ingredients that have been very important since ancient times, such as Gexian rice, known as "Tianxian rice", which used to be common in rice fields and can now be sold for thousands of yuan in the market.
Gexian rice is different from the rice common in our lives, it is not a grain, but an algae, or a very precious algae, the value is very high. Gexian rice is also known as "Tianxian rice", and in some places it is also called water fungus, which is deeply loved by people, mainly because of its high nutritional value. Like other algae, Kudzumi has no roots, no leaves, is small, and the whole algae body is not too regular in shape, round, flat, and irregular.
Gexian rice is gelatinous, mostly green or brown, larger than ordinary rice grains, crystal clear, high value, crisp and tender in the mouth, delicate and smooth, especially for boiling soup, more delicious. In fact, Gexian rice has a long history of consumption, and people have respected it since ancient times, and it is regarded as a delicacy. In the past, in the paddy fields of the countryside, gexian rice could often be seen, when the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides was small, the water quality was good, it was very suitable for its growth, and in the summer and autumn, there were farmers who took the net to the field to fish.
In the past, farmers knew that Gexian rice could be eaten, but it was only for their own consumption, and they did not think of selling it, nor did they think of protecting it, and they did not pay enough attention to it. Once seen in the paddy field, it is usually left unchecked, mainly because Gexian rice has high requirements for water quality, and once it grows in the paddy field, it shows that the local water environment is very good, and it and rice can achieve symbiosis and do not affect each other. Since it will not affect the rice yield, farmers can also accidentally harvest the delicacy of Gexian rice, killing two birds with one stone.
In the past, Gexian rice could only be regarded as a local delicacy, but now it is different, Gexian rice is very famous, and the price is also very high. Now the price of gexian rice can be sold for thousands of yuan, and it is still very hot. The nutrition of Gexian rice is originally very high, the content of amino acids, vitamins and minerals is higher than that of ordinary vegetables, and from the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, Gexian rice has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, which is suitable for daily use.
Gexian rice is popular and hot selling reasons are more, high nutrition is only one aspect, another important reason is that Gexian rice is harsh on the growth environment, only the water quality is not polluted by any place can grow, so it gives people a pure natural pollution-free feeling, very in line with people's dietary needs, thus becoming a high-priced nutritional product, attracting many people to buy.
Unfortunately, the number of wild Gexian rice is relatively small, many farmlands use a lot of fertilizers and pesticides, and the water quality in the streams has also been polluted, and it takes a lot of effort to find wild Gexian rice, and it also takes a certain amount of luck. Fortunately, now Gexian rice has been artificially planted, and some farmers have specially opened up paddy fields to plant Gexian rice, and some farmers have chosen the symbiosis of Gexian rice and rice to obtain two stubble benefits. In fact, under the trade-off, the latter is more operable, the risk is relatively low, and there is more or less income.
