Introduction: Vegetables that resemble lettuce, fresh no one eats, made into dried vegetables for 50 yuan 1 catty, known as "tribute dishes"
In the winter, many people like to pickle various vegetables. Especially in the northern region, it is generally at this time that a large number of cabbages are purchased, and then hoarded to make sauerkraut. At this time, when I went to the north, I often saw that there were many people in front of the house full of cabbage, which was very spectacular.
In the southern region, there are generally fewer pickled Cabbage, and more farmers dried radish strips. Especially after the frost beating of the large radish, dried into radish strips are sweeter to eat. In fact, in addition to these two kinds of vegetables, there is also a vegetable that can also be made into dried vegetables, and in ancient times it was also called "tribute dish"!
Although cabbage is now a well-known vegetable, its cultivation history in China is not very long, that is, in recent hundreds of years. There is also a vegetable, which has been planted in China for more than 2,000 years, and it is a tribute dish that is also well-known abroad.
Tribute vegetables are also known as dried moss, which is a vegetable that looks like lettuce. The dried moss that has not yet been picked in the ground is basically exactly the same as lettuce. This is because the dry moss is a lettuce for the stem of the genus Asteraceae, which means that it is closely related to lettuce. The difference between the two is that the stem of the lettuce is thicker and shorter. The stems of the moss are more slender. However, unlike most vegetables, dried moss generally does not eat fresh, but makes it into a dried vegetable, which should also be the oldest dehydrated vegetable in China.
China's dried moss dehydration, sun-dried into dry vegetables to eat has a history of more than 2,000 years, and has always been a very high status, not only ordinary people like to eat, even members of the royal family, the emperor also like to eat. Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked to eat dried moss, and every year he would pay tribute to the imperial court in large quantities, and it was for this reason that dried moss was also called "tribute dish". During the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor also liked to eat tribute dishes, and among the 108 dishes in the Manchu and Han dynasties, Moss also occupied a seat.
Dried moss tastes like lettuce, but when it is cut into strips, dehydrated, and then dried, the taste is immediately different. After this treatment, the tribute dish tastes crunchy, and it will also emit a very crisp business in the mouth, so it is also called "ringing dish", which is more famous in modern times, and it is also very popular abroad, and a large number of foreign countries are exported abroad every year, especially in Japan and South Korea and other countries will import a large number from China.
At present, in China, the tribute vegetables grown in Anhui are the most famous, and they have become local geographical indication protection products. Like some good quality tribute dishes, they generally sell for fifty or sixty yuan a catty, and they are also very popular. However, in foreign countries, many people like to call tribute dishes "mountain stinging dishes", and it has now become a famous dish that is famous overseas.
Many people eat tribute dishes for the first time, saying that they are like eating jellyfish, which is very distinctive. And the production methods of tribute dishes are diverse, both can be cooked, but also stewed soup, cold mix, and prepared a variety of vegetarian dishes, etc., dear netizens and friends, have you ever eaten tribute dishes?
