Every summer, many peach trees come out with an orange-yellow gelatinous substance that sticks to the trunks and branches, making it very disgusting.
What is surprising is that this seemingly useless thing is actually a nutritious and valuable ingredient and medicinal herb, known as "plant bird's nest", which can even be sold for 60 yuan a pound in the market.
What exactly is this yellow gelatin, and what is so special about it?
Sources and ingredients of peach gum
Peach gum, as the name suggests, is a gelatinous substance that flows out of the peach tree, and it also has a sad name - peach blossom tears.
The formation of peach gum is mainly due to the fact that the peach tree has been attacked by fungi or insects, resulting in injury to the bark and overflow of sap, which has formed a hard shell after the oxidation of the air and the drying of the sun, wrapping the gelatinous substance inside.
Polysaccharides are the main components of peach gum, and also contain a small amount of collagen, fat, vitamins and other nutrients.
The reason why it is called "plant bird's nest" is that polysaccharides have strong water absorption, which can swell into several times the volume in water to form a gelatinous substance, which looks very much like bird's nest.
We all know that bird's nest has high nutrition, so what are the miraculous effects of peach gum?
Efficacy and usage of peach gum
Although peach gum looks like amber, it can be eaten, but it should be noted that peach gum is not recommended to be eaten directly, because it has a large number of bacteria, microorganisms, etc., which are likely to cause damage to the stomach and intestines.
As a delicious food, peach gum can be stewed in soup, stewed desserts, etc., which has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing beauty and moisturizing the stomach.
It has a light taste and smooth taste, suitable for all kinds of people to eat (it is forbidden to eat under 3 years old), but the elderly can not eat too much, moderate consumption can improve the condition of the skin and body, enhance immunity and anti-aging ability.
In addition to being used as food, peach gum also has certain medicinal properties and can relieve some diseases, such as cough, asthma, diabetes, etc.
As early as in the pharmaceutical work "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is a record of peach gum, which explains the efficacy of some peach gum, which always proves that it has a very long history of medicinal use.
In fact, peach gum also has beauty effects, it can be used to make masks, skin care products, etc., which can increase the elasticity and luster of the skin, and improve skin texture and complexion.
It is precisely because peach gum has a lot of effects that it has begun to emerge in the market, so what is its prospect?
Value and prospects
According to my observation, the market demand for peach gum is relatively large, especially in the city, more and more people are interested in peach gum, compared with some expensive health care products on the market, peach gum with its relatively affordable price, has become the new favorite of many health seekers, some people are willing to spend money to buy and eat peach gum, thinking that it is a health and beauty food.
In addition, the scientific research of peach gum is also relatively active, and some scholars and experts will specially purchase some peach gum, and conduct in-depth exploration and verification of its composition and efficacy, and then explore the new properties and functions of peach gum.
After all, the scientific value of peach gum is high, and if it is in the hands of some medical workers, some new drugs and products may be developed to better benefit mankind.
In fact, the cultural inheritance of peach gum is also very important, it is a traditional folk food and medicinal materials, with a long history and rich cultural connotation, is a kind of national memory and spirit.
In general, peach gum is a very special substance, and now it is back on people's tables as a "plant bird's nest", which is not only a butterfly change of a species, but also an innovative attempt in the agricultural product market.
In this era, it may be those seemingly inconspicuous rural objects that contain unknown business opportunities and legendary possibilities. What do you think of peach gum?
