Anyway, what I think of the most is the squirrel that has no line but earns enough eyeballs every time, the little squirrel "Rat Quette" has been in the struggle for acorns, hiding acorns, and opening acorns, every time it will miss the acorn, but it has never given up, the acorn is like its life, it is always on the way to chase, for the acorn can not love and die, until in the farewell movement, the squirrel finally ate the whole acorn.
Indeed, acorns are the life of squirrels, and acorns are rich in carbohydrates and fats, nutrients that are very important for squirrels. Not only do they provide energy, but they also help squirrels store fat during seasons when food is scarce, such as winter, and although the skin of acorns can be bitter and indigestible, they provide the necessary nutrients to help squirrels stay healthy and active.
In the ecosystem, there is a mutually beneficial relationship between acorns and squirrels. After the acorn is eaten by a squirrel, the digestion process of the acorn helps its shell to soften, which increases the likelihood of germination. The activity of the squirrel is then spread elsewhere, thus contributing to the reproduction of oak trees and the expansion of the forest. Therefore, acorns are not only food for squirrels, but also an important part of their survival and reproduction in nature.
Acorns, starchy, edible, bitter in taste. It is also called acorn, acorn, and acorn. The fruit of the oak tree, oblong, containing starch and a small amount of tannic acid, the shell can be used to make tannin gum. In some areas, it is called an oak bowl. Acorns are mainly produced in the mountainous areas of eastern Hubei on the mainland. The acorn has a hard shell on the outside, brownish-red, and the inner kernel is like a peanut kernel, and is rich in starch, with a content of about 60 percent. It is not only edible, but also used as a raw material for textile industry sizing. Acorns were one of the most important foods in early humans. It can also be made into acorn noodles.
The earliest evidence of acorns found in the world dates back 780,000 years ago to the southern Hura Valley in Israel, where the ancestors of the Acheeri culture used acorns as a source of starch supplementation. In fact, evidence from several parts of the world suggests that acorn use has a long history. From the perspective of time scale, acorn is claimed to be older than the "qualification" of rice and wheat. Archaeologists on the mainland have found that at least 5,000 years ago, humans have begun to eat acorns, and the staple food at that time was not wheat, millet and other food crops, but acorns. In ancient continental times, acorns were often eaten as a "spare grain". According to the record of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period": "Uncle Zhu Li was Ju Aogong, thinking that he did not know, and went to live on the sea. In the summer, it eats water chestnut, and in winter, it eats acorn. "The acorns here are the acorns.
In fact, acorn is not the fruit of a certain tree, but a general term that refers to the fruit of plants in the family Bucketaceae other than chestnut. In terms of botanical classification on the mainland, it is believed that there are 7 genera and more than 500 species of shellfish. At present, there should be at least more than 200 species of shellaceae widely distributed on the continent. Therefore, there are differences in the "acorns" in different places.
Although acorns and hazelnuts are both nut foods, there are obvious differences between them in terms of plant species, morphological characteristics, taste use, nutrients and growing environment. Acorns are the seeds of the Shellaceae family, while hazelnuts belong to the seeds of the birch family; acorns are usually larger than hazelnuts, longer in shape, oval or round; hazelnuts are smaller, flattened in shape, similar to kidneys; the color of acorns is usually brown or dark brown, and the color of hazelnuts is usually light brown or golden; acorns are mainly starch-based, the taste is relatively hard, and there is a bitter taste, hazelnuts are rich in oil, the taste is relatively crispy, and there is a rich fragrance.
Now acorns are rarely used to eat, the main reason is because of the cumbersome processing process, if you want to eat acorns need a lot of preparation, and with the improvement of people's living standards, the choice of food has become diverse, so the taste is not very good, and the acorns that are troublesome to deal with are naturally eliminated, but there are still some niche ways to eat, such as decoction, porridge, mashing into juice, soaking wine, acorn noodles, acorn tofu (also called acorn jelly) and so on.
To prepare the acorn tofu:
The acorns are dried and the hard shell is peeled off. Soak in water for three days, and change the water once a day in the morning and evening. When the water color is clear, it can be crushed and refined. Acorns are 1 to 3 with water, and the residue is filtered out after pulping. Finally, boil it over low heat and put it on a plate to cool. The acorn tofu is ready.
Acorns can also be harvested and dried, shelled, water-milled, filtered, precipitated, decolorized, deastringent, naturally cooled, fined, and made into acorn starch. Eat and use as you go. One pound of flour can make 10 pounds of acorn tofu, and the ratio of flour and water is 1:10 according to personal circumstances.
Acorns, also known as "love nuts", are a symbol of strength.
In Nordic and Celtic cultures, acorns symbolize life, fertility and eternal life. This lovely fruit is also considered a symbol of luck, prosperity, youth, and strength.
The oak tree is the world's largest flowering plant and has a long lifespan of up to 400 years. An oak tree in California is said to have lived for at least 13,000 years and is probably the oldest living creature known in the world.
There is also a proverb in German that says, "You can't knock down an oak tree with your palm". Legend has it that the round table of King Arthur's round table was made of an ancient oak tree.
The ancient oak tree is also an icon of the English countryside, used to build a 13th-century church and a Nelsonian warship.
Many countries consider the oak tree to be a sacred tree, believing it to have magical powers and a symbol of longevity, strength, and pride.
I don't know if my friends have watched "My Neighbor Totoro", in it, every appearance of acorns has important significance.
