There is a lot of autumn food. In recent days, I have seen the WeChat circle of WeChat friends of the leading geese who have become rich in the countryside, and posted the Hakka traditional delicacy dog paw beans. So I paid attention to the Internet, searched and watched some pictures and videos about dog's paw beans, and understood and paid attention to the ins and outs of this delicacy.
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, the substances in the mountainous areas of eastern Guangdong were not rich, and dog paw beans were eaten in food, because this substance contained certain toxicity, and did not collect this substance in large quantities. In recent years, somehow, there have been more pictures and short videos of eating dog's claw beans.

After maturity, it is black, the seed coat is sparse, and the pod has 1~2 raised longitudinal edges; 6~8 seeds, gray-white. Flowering takes place in April. The fruit period is 10~11 months.
In the "Zhejiang Tianmu Yam Plant History" can be found dog claw beans: "Warm sex, sweet and slightly bitter, with a small poison." "Functional indications of dog's paw beans: "Warm and invigorating." Treat lumbar and spinal pain. Two to three pairs of dog paw beans, stewed pork loin. In the "Guangxi Medicinal Plant Directory", dog paw beans: "Young leaves (wiped all over the body), clear heat, cool blood." "The name of the dog paw bean has a reason, because its fruit pod is more like a dog's paw, so it is called dog paw bean in the countryside of eastern Guangdong, dog paw bean also has aliases: dog duck bean, white li bean, dragon claw bean, cat's foot bean, etc. Dog's paw beans are relatively coarse, vigorous, no matter what kind of soil, how bad weather conditions can grow, no need to water fertilizer, the yield is relatively high. It can be seen in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Zhejiang and other places.
No matter what kind of approach you take, the first step of fresh paw beans is to blanch the paw beans with boiling water, it is best to soak them in water for more than a day to remove toxicity, so that the cooked paw beans have a tender taste. Fresh paw beans look like beans, but the taste of the two beans is very different, and we countrymen like to sauté them with chili, ginger and garlic, pork belly, etc. Some people peel the beans in the dog's paw beans to make sauce beans quasi-pickles to eat, and some people like to dry the fresh dog's feet beans directly, take them out when needed, and then process and eat, so that you can eat the dog's feet beans all year round, and call the dog's paw beans a delicacy in our hometown. However, in addition to eating dog paw beans, the medicinal substances contained in dog paw beans can replenish the kidneys, men eat more things can make up for it, and women can reduce fatigue by eating them.
Now the people's living standards have improved, few people rely on wild vegetables to feed themselves, and dog paw beans are also because of poison, and to do detoxification treatment, cooking procedures are more numerous, so some people have reduced the cultivation of dog paw beans in some places. However, in our hometown, we have increased the number of paw beans, and the processing and sale of dog's paw beans have been put on the agenda, as part of rural revitalization and increasing farmers' income, we need strong support.
