White flowers, with a hint of fiery red color, blooming in nature, the flowers stick to the petals after the rain, like crystal clear crystals shining, hurry up to lie on the ground, see the beauty of this flower with your own eyes, this is it, known as the rural "Almighty God", or many farmers in the mouth of the "nine vegetables", is a kind of ordinary castor.
In modern society, most families are planted in vegetable fields, and many people don't care about it, just a useless thing, but this plant has now become a "strategic material" of the country, why can it be widely planted in the rural areas of the mainland?
What does it do?
Where are castor beans sold?
Rural "Almighty God", castor.
Castor is a plant that grows in most parts of the continent, but in the rural areas of the mainland, this plant can be seen anywhere, for which many people have also been crowned with the title of "Almighty God", in fact, this is not unreasonable, castor can do too much.
Not only in the mainland, widely used, people in other countries have slowly discovered the scarcity and importance of this plant, now in the world, the appearance rate of castor is almost one percent, for other countries, this rare plant is as precious as Huashan, and the mainland is very rich of this plant.
Do you feel a cool breeze, in fact, what is so good about this plant that makes it a kind of "Almighty God"?
The first is its fruit, this plant in late autumn, it can be said that the tree is full of fruits, the appearance of green circles, looks like an elixir, very beautiful, in fact, this is the seed of castor.
The seed of castor beans has a relatively obscure name, called "camelina bud".
In the eyes of farmers, this thing is equivalent to an "energy resource", which can produce biodiesel from the mainland, that is, the "camelina oil" produced by this "camelina bud" can be used to replace diesel, and it is much cheaper than diesel.
It can also produce a key "lubricating oil", is it already felt that this "Almighty God" is powerful?
And in traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally believed that the "camellia bud" of castor is also a good thing for fitness and health, and this plant can always use it during the growth period, and the leaves in the mature period are also a very good feed.
Its nuts can be taken and eaten, and the nutritional value is quite high, but if you eat too much of this kind of thing, it will affect your health, and it must be cooked thoroughly on the premise, in fact, the branches and leaves of this plant are also good things for farmers, branches can be used to make pillow branches, and its fibers can also be used to make spinning fabrics.
And every year silkworm farmers, will regularly come here to pick leaves, of course, this plant also has its vitality, castor is a root plant, as long as the roots are not dead, you can grow new branches and leaves, so in the eyes of farmers, castor this plant, like a never-withering "nine vegetables".
The flowers of castor beans begin to bloom in July and will not gradually fade until September, and this flower is a rare plant that has been protected above the second level of the state, but it is still planted and planted in large quantities in farmers' homes.
A common plant, but it has become a scarce commodity.
On the mainland, castor is a common plant that can be found in many places, both in rural and urban areas, but in other countries, it is an extremely precious plant.
Why is this the case?
This is because it and its seeds, have a different splendor, its seeds because it can produce the continent's biodiesel, so in the continent is sparsely populated, it has become a plant, but with the development of science and technology, people have also begun to realize the new concept of biodiesel.
It can effectively replace oil, and the price is much cheaper than oil, which immediately attracted some foreign countries, so several countries began to grow it and make biodiesel.
Our country is also moving forward in this field, and in some places where production is not high, people are thinking about how to improve productivity.
As long as this plant is used, it can create a very considerable economic value for human society, and most of the world is still using the world's rare biodiesel plant - jute cultivation.
So castor stands out, this plant takes "oil refining" as an example, the yield of biodiesel is 0.6~0.7, and the yield of castor's "camelina bud" is 0.3~0.4, so according to this output, the world's 10 million tons of biodiesel will probably need 20 million tons of castor seeds.
That is to say, the world's castor plants, as long as the demand for biodiesel, in China alone, more than 100 million mu, as long as you look at it, the role of castor beans, can be seen at a glance.
However, his "camelina bud" can produce biodiesel, and there is a "oil cake", which is why he can produce lubricant, but it also has a special reason.
That is its good "latent oil" characteristics, and among the common plants in the mainland, only castor beans have the highest "latent oil" characteristics, and his characteristics are on the whole, that is to say, nearly 2/3 of the plants of this plant are its seeds.
But in other plants, if there are more than 20% of the seeds, we can basically make any food, and its seeds, and half of them are vegetable oil, but castor beans are different, for people, we only have 60% of the oil, but for industry, its oil will account for more than 95%.
There is also a special substance in the "oil" content of castor seeds, which is acid poison, what kind of substance is it, which should start from its "camelina bud".
When the seeds of castor beans are just ripe, the water content of the fruit is about 65%~70%.
According to its characteristics, when there is a lot of water, its acid poison will be produced, and at this time, if all these oils are collected, then its yield will be reduced by about 30% due to the presence of acid and toxic substances, and most of the oil used as oil will turn into stearin.
This is where its acid poison lies, and the benefits of these acid poisons are also amazing, it is an acid fat with a much lower boiling point than water.
So this acid can be used to make and vent fire, but the grease of castor beans is a black grease that is not suitable for cooking.
But this kind of oil and oil are the same, it can be used for cleaning, and with the development of science and technology and industry, the acid and toxic substance of castor has been used to make fuel cells, which is used to make fuel cells, in fact, it is also a by-product of cleaning.
Toxic substances of castor beans.
Although the seeds of castor beans can create considerable economic value for human beings, and there are hundreds of ancillary uses in his plants, this does not mean that it is harmless, on the contrary, there will still be toxic substances in this castor beans carefully cultivated by humans.
In fact, the seeds of castor beans are the most lethal existence of this plant, but why it is poisonous, it is necessary to start from science, there is an ingredient in the seeds of castor beans, called "hemp glycoprotein".
The characteristic of this ingredient is that it can bring inducer internal toxicity to humans or other organisms, and this toxicity is actually a toxic substance composed of amino acids of protein in seeds.
So in order to prevent the production of this toxic substance, it is necessary to reduce the presence of hemp glycoprotein, as long as the protein content in the seeds is low, then the content of hemp glycoprotein will be low, then this toxic substance will naturally be reduced.
The presence of another toxic substance is also related to proteins, which affects protein synthesis.
Moreover, it will also participate in the reaction process of many enzymes in the synthesis of proteins, and it will also have a great relationship with the activity of enzymes.
For example, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., if you contact this plant for a long time, it will cause certain damage to the skin, mucopigments, or epidermal cells, and it will also bring chronic damage, that is, people who are in contact with this plant for a long time will slowly lose the growth of epidermal cells, and what kind of disease will be caused in the later stage, there is no clear statement.
However, according to some previously published literature, if you continue to contact it, it will lead to the presence of "nicotinic biotoxin", so people must take protective measures when they come into contact with castor, especially long-term contact.
epilogue
Castor is a plant that can penetrate into all aspects of life, not only to resolve pollution in the environment, but also to create a huge value for human life, and to create a huge value of life for human beings.
