A few days ago, with the approval of the county civil affairs department, the black sesame industry association of our county was officially established.
Our county has four distinct seasons, rich heat, abundant rainfall, and fertile land, which is very suitable for black sesame planting and growth. Our county has a long history of cultivating black sesame seeds, which have been cultivated since the Tang Dynasty, and have long been famous at home and abroad. According to historical records, "Gurao Province (present-day Poyang County) is rich in black sesame seeds, with uniform, full, pure black and shiny particles. ”
It is understood that there are many varieties of black sesame seeds, but the best taste is the local old variety "Poyang Black", the color is black gray, small particles, thin skin and thick flesh, crisp taste, full of flavor, not astringent. Black sesame seeds are not only high-quality edible oil raw materials, but also can be used in medicine because of their special ingredients, which have the effect of moisturizing intestines, invigorating blood, tonifying liver and kidneys, and wushu hair, and are good health foods. "Poyang black" sesame seeds are of better quality than other places because of their excellent growing environment and fertile soil.
The establishment of the association will play a positive role in making the black sesame industry bigger and stronger in our county, prospering the county economy, increasing the income of farmers, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of black sesame growers.
