Introduction: Hello everyone, here is the farmer to see the farmer, every day to share the new things in the countryside, share the planting technology and the market. Today our theme is: commonly known as "Guangdong ginseng", the fruit is covered with hair, the value of the rhizome is very high, and the demand in winter has soared.
I often hear such a sentence in the northern population, the life of the southerners is really incomprehensible, eat a meal and add a soup, bathing and washing every day. Many northerners go to the south to live, at first really unaccustomed, in the south there is no north full table of steamed buns, there are not too many hard dishes, every meal must have soup.
Especially in Guangdong, the ginseng in the eyes of the locals is not the Oriental ginseng and Changbaishan ginseng that are referred to in the market, but they have their own local ginseng beliefs, and their so-called ginseng is a common soup ingredient on the table. Therefore, in the outside world, the rarest soup ingredient of Cantonese people will always be praised as Guangdong ginseng, of which this "Guangdong ginseng" mainly refers to the plant of five-fingered peach.
In Guangdong, you said that ginseng may not be seen by many people, but the five-fingered peach is definitely known to three-year-old children, and the popularity of this plant in the local folk has become as common as home. In the eyes of many Cantonese people, the nutritional value of this five-fingered peach is comparable to milk, and it is the preferred Chinese medicinal material for local soups.

The distribution of five-fingered peach in China is also quite extensive, and it is a common plant in the southern part of China, especially in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guangxi.
But it is a relatively special area in Guangdong, because this plant is very popular in Guangdong, and every year a large number of farmers go into the mountains to dig up wild five-fingered peaches. Because of its easy to identify appearance, the five-fingered peach is almost hollowed out in the human activity area, it has a unique five-clawed leaf, which can be recognized by the goods from a distance, and in the fruit season, the fruit of the five-fingered peach is covered with long hair, just like our common wild peach, which is coveted.
