In recent years, there is a strange-looking special dish that is more popular, that is, African ice grass, which also has a very dreamy scientific name "ice leaf day flower". Want to know what it looks like? Let's take a look.
In the greenhouse of Jinfeng Agricultural Park in Jilin City, Jilin Province, the reporter saw the special dish African ice grass, only to see that its leaves and branches seemed to have condensed a lot of dew droplets, which looked wonderful.
Cui Wenxiu, head of Jinfeng Agricultural Park in Jilin City: "This is called ice grass, and the people are also called ice vegetables, because it is a plant from Africa or the tropics, so it is instinctive, and the Xiaoice beads are very beautiful." ”
African ice savannahs are found in the arid regions of Africa and are now found in western Asia and Europe. The "ice beads" on the leaves and stems of ice grass are actually vesicular cells with liquid. In the sunlight, the "ice beads" will reflect beautiful light, so it is also called crystal ice dish. African icewort is rich in minerals such as sodium, potassium, carotene, as well as a variety of amino acids, flavonoids, etc., which can slow down the aging rate of human brain cells and strengthen brain cell function. Therefore, its economic value is very considerable.
Cui Wenxiu, head of Jinfeng Agricultural Park in Jilin City, said: "This dish is currently sold in our park for 30 yuan a catty. ”
African iceweed is not common in the north at present, it is mostly in restaurants, hotel banquets with a "high cold" posture, raw food, dipping sauce to eat, shabu-shabu can be. Moreover, the yield of this dish is also quite high.
Cui Wenxiu, head of Jinfeng Agricultural Park in Jilin City, said: "This dish can grow indefinitely because of it. We can pick it while growing. We call it a cane, and the beaten can be eaten, and it can then grow longer. ”
This ice grass can benefit from long-term planting at a time, and due to the higher price of seeds, the park has also increased its investment in science and technology.
Cui Wenxiu, head of Jinfeng Agricultural Park in Jilin City, said: "We folded it down and inserted it into our machine. It will naturally take root and then move it to the ground. In this way, we can grow it all at once and then breed it ourselves. In the case of good maintenance, there is no problem for two or three years. ”
