Preface
The food culture of the mainland has a long history, and those amazing "delicacies of the mountains and seas" represent the unique charm of mainland cuisine.
These ingredients are not only delicious, but also have high nutritional value, and are highly sought after. But the high price is often staggering!
Today, let's take a look at whether the "Top Ten Top Mountain Treasures" are worth the money!
1. Cordyceps
In China's Tibet, Gansu and other high mountains and cold regions, a precious Chinese medicinal material was born. It is a rare medicinal fungus that coexists with coincident fungi and is called "Cordyceps sinensis".
Known as the "treasure of the grass", it has high nutritional value and multiple effects after being eaten by the human body.
Edible Cordyceps sinensis can improve the body's immunity and enhance the body's resistance to tumor diseases, so it is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and health care products.
Cordyceps has a harsh growth environment, and the quantity is scarce, difficult to collect, so it is very expensive in terms of price, and Cordyceps with good color can be sold for up to 200 yuan per gram!
2. Changbai Mountain ginseng
The wild ginseng of Changbai Mountain, with its amazing medicinal effect, has won a high degree of special recognition in the field of medicinal materials in China. As a natural wild herb, wild ginseng is extremely demanding on the growing environment.
The wild ginseng of Changbai Mountain has the miraculous effect of replenishing qi and calming the nerves and treating a variety of incurable diseases, so it is also known as the "king of herbs".
The value of a wild ginseng is difficult to estimate, and once it is on the auction, the "100-year-old ginseng" is an auction price of nearly one million!
3. Black truffles
Wild natural black truffles are a valuable fungus that foodies dream of. Black truffle has a unique aroma and taste, rich in protein, which can improve human body functions and boost immunity.
In countries such as France and Italy, black truffles are often used as an adjunct to food, in soups or pressed into oil to accompany wine and other foods.
Black truffles not only have a unique taste and high nutritional value, but they are also very rare in the market. At the World Truffle Auction, a one-to-one kilogram of twin truffles even fetched a high price of 130,000 euros!
4. Tibetan saffron
Saffron, known as the "red gold", has been cultivated in Iran for a long time. It was introduced to Tibet in China during the Ming Dynasty and recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.
Saffron is widely used, not only as an ingredient, as a spice dye, but most importantly as a medicinal material, it can invigorate blood and dispel stasis, relieve depression and calm the nerves.
Due to the very high requirements of the cultivation environment and the difficulty of cultivation, the price of saffron has risen, and the price of a pound of saffron is as high as 100,000 yuan!
5. Bird's nest
Bird's nest has been one of the precious ingredients used by emperors and princes since the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why it is called bird's nest is because it is made by the swiftlet using its own saliva mixed with other substances to coagulate.
Bird's nest has a high nutritional value, and for women, it is a great tonic to nourish the skin and enhance immunity, so in ancient times, only the emperor's concubines were fortunate enough to be able to taste such treasures.
The price of bird's nest in the market also has different standards according to different quality. Some high-quality bird's nests can even reach thousands of yuan per gram!
6. Peron oysters
The "King of Oysters" from France, the Perón oyster, is named after the Belón River that is produced in France.
As the "aristocracy" of the oyster world, the meat is extremely delicious and exudes a unique metallic taste, which is generally loved by wealthy people in Western countries.
As a highly nutritious seafood treasure, Belon oysters can replenish yin and aphrodisiac and treat deficiency. Because production is very scarce, it is not only very expensive, but also often "hard to find".
7. Kobe beef
As the "Hermes of beef", Kobe beef production in Japan is very rare and expensive.
Kobe beef comes from the purest Tajima beef, and Japan is extremely demanding on raising such cattle. Therefore, it also makes it rich in taste and has extremely high nutritional value.
From the moment a cow is born to the time it finally reaches the table, there are very detailed requirements and standards.
Therefore, Kobe beef melts in the mouth, and any cooking method will not affect its taste, and the price of thousands of yuan a pound also discourages many people.
8. Big red robe
The mother tree Dahongpao grows in the middle of Wuyi Mountain, as one of the top ten famous teas, the taste is extremely strong, the taste is mellow and rich, and it is also called the "king of tea".
As the most precious tea, the reason for the rarity of the mother tree Dahongpao is that the yield is extremely rare, and there are only six tea trees that produce this kind of tea.
The health care effect of the mother tree is also excellent, which can refresh the mind, eliminate food and brighten the eyes. Now the mother tree is no longer able to produce, so its value is incalculable.
9. White jade sea cucumber
Sea cucumber was named as early as ancient times for "its sexual warmth and supplementation, foot ginseng", and it is still used today.
Among the sea cucumbers, the most precious is the white variety, and the wild white sea cucumber is named "white jade sea cucumber".
Albino sea cucumbers have more stringent requirements for water quality. As a high-quality aquatic product, sea cucumber has a high tonic value, which can promote blood circulation and enhance liver function, and is a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine.
As the rarest seafood ginseng, white sea cucumber was auctioned at auction at the most expensive price of 330,000 yuan per kilogram!
10. Caviar
Delicious and dark in color, caviar is a high-quality luxury ingredient.
The higher quality caviar is mainly squeezed from the wild sturgeon, and the roe will not harm the sturgeon.
The world's most expensive caviar is produced in Iran, which is made from the eggs of wild white sturgeon, and because it is only produced once every 100 years, the yield is extremely low, and a small can can even go up to 23,000 US dollars!
At present, the number of wild great white sturgeon in the world is no more than 100. If it is not protected, it may be difficult to taste the delicacies of the rich country one day!
