"The east wind blows away the plum snow and saves the world in one night." Although the temperature is like the temperature of summer, it still grows in greenhouses, naturally delicate and delicate, and ranks among the precious ingredients. Go to the greenhouse and pick a few flowers at random, put them in your mouth, and taste the fresh cucumber aroma and the taste of summer.
First-class old food, for this appetite, stunned is wading through the mountains, groping for a long time, only to finally find a large gag in the Tonganei Mountains, found a base of organic vegetables, found this delicate little flower - cucumber flower, because cucumber can also be called "courgette", so it is also called "courgette flower". To eat it, you need to wait until the buds are slightly released and the young buds of the cucumber grow, and the cucumber cannot grow too big, because the cucumber will only bloom at the initial stage of growth, and then the flowers will wither, and the cucumber will grow into shape. Since very few people eat this little flower, farmers never just praise it for its beauty, and don't pay much attention to anything else.
The cucumber flowers in the greenhouse grow in the greenhouse, and the suffocating air makes it have enough temperature and humidity, but it always feels that the cucumber flowers will be hot and unbearable under such conditions. In fact, the greenhouse administrator told us that the heat and humidity of the greenhouse better controlled the maturity of the crop, so that there were no conditions for pesticides.
The greenhouse is full of harvest scenes, full of green vines and yellow flowers, very beautiful, each one blooms watery, full, open in different sizes, there are 5 tender yellow petals, which are full of fur, tender enough to be thankful at a touch, and the flower buds are also very small five small petals, and the fur grows all the way to the small yellow flower stalks, and when the cucumber matures, it becomes a thorn. The petals are clean, smell only light incense, simply take one and put it in your mouth, chew it lightly, full of fragrance, this is the source of cucumber fragrance.
Although cucumbers are common vegetables, cucumber flowers are definitely a precious ingredient because they are more nutritious than cucumbers. Some people say that pumpkin flowers must be oiled to be delicious, but if the cucumber flowers are sautéed in a frying pan, I am afraid it is a pity, and the delicate flowers are still raw food.
Don't look at the cucumber flower is not big or small, but its medicinal value is not small. Cucumber flower is a natural antihypertensive drug, and the medicinal effect is concentrated on cucumber vines and flowers. In addition, cucumber flowers have a special effect on diuretics and dampness, raw food a few fresh cucumber flowers can clear heat and analgesia, diuretic dampness, especially for children and the elderly. The farmer said that if you sometimes encounter a bad stomach, you will pick up a few flowers and chew them raw as medicine, then this is also a very delicious medicine. In fact, the edible flowers themselves are full of treasures, coupled with the taste of cucumber flowers is the sweetness of yellow flowers in the fragrance, and then with a hint of bitterness, there is no need to question its nutritional value, the flowers themselves contain a variety of vitamins and rich trace elements.
Of course, in order to maintain a good taste, it is also necessary to retain its nutritional value at the same time. Cucumber flowers are best not heated and use raw food, put some salad and red, red and green vegetables together, the yellow and green color will make people appetite, if the number of cucumber flowers is too small, it is easier to be swept away. There are also more direct classic sauces such as simply washing and dipping in Thousand Island Sauce or Chili Sauce and Curd Milk.
Finally, brew a cup of cucumber flower tea, beauty and beauty do not say, just from the novelty and color must try. Ice cubes and lemons must be added, completely drowning out the bitterness of the cucumber flowers, leaving only full of fragrance, smell first, and its bioactive enzyme with beauty benefits has also been drunk into your stomach.
Approaching May, it is the season when the cucumbers are ripe, and it is also the best time to eat cucumber flowers, because the cucumber vines after the rain are the most nutritious, the flowering time cycle is the longest, and the nutrients are also the largest. You say where you can eat fresh cucumber flowers, of course, you pick the freshest. On the weekend, I stepped on the accelerator with my family, took a stubble on the organic farm, plucked the big and yellow flowers, spread them flat on plastic wrap, and covered with a layer of wet oil absorbent paper to keep the cucumber flowers fresh, and took them home to be full of happiness. However, most of you are still the most greenhouse while picking and eating, because there are more than cucumber flowers, and when you come to the organic garden, you will definitely return with a full load!
