Qingming has arrived, the ancestors used the yellow flower rice raw material Mimonhua, are you ready?

The Qingming Festival is coming, I don't know what customs everyone has in worshipping ancestors there? In Xiaobian here, qingming festival ancestors each family must prepare a kind of rice, in our side of the call is "yellow flower rice". So let's talk about what materials are needed to make yellow flower rice today.

When it comes to mimosa flowers, everyone must be a little unfamiliar, but when I say a name that everyone usually calls, you will be surprised, it turns out that its scientific name is this.

Mimeng flower, guangxi area called its yellow flower tree or wheat flower, Yunnan Lijiang called it dyed flower, Sichuan area called it rice soup flower. It is cultivated in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Tibet provinces and regions of China, and is distributed in Bhutan, Myanmar and Vietnam. The branches of the flowers are quadrangular and gray-brown , with short gray-white star-like villi on the twigs , under the leaves , petioles and inflorescences. The flowers are very dense, the small and exquisite appearance is very cute, and the floral fragrance is also very good, but it smells too much and it is easy to sneeze.

After the flowers are dried and preserved, they can be taken out during the Qingming Festival, boiled with water can bring up yellow pigments, and the boiled yellow water can be used to cook rice, which is really very fragrant. I heard the old man say that eating yellow flower rice during the festival can drive away evil spirits, yellow flower rice can not only be eaten during the Qingming Festival, but also in Guangxi's March three people will also take the mimong flower as one of the main ingredients of the five-color rice.

I don't know if you have seen it, or have eaten the juice of the misty flowers boiled rice, welcome to comment on the message.
