Speaking of peanuts, everyone is familiar with it. But there is a kind of fruit called "peanuts on the tree". I wonder if you have heard of it? There is a kind of fruit in Lingnan area, which looks like peanuts and is eaten in the same way. It is all shelled, and then there are a few seeds in it, which is why it is called "peanut on the tree".

In addition, it has several aliases. Let me explain it to you slowly. The first one is "Pingpo", which is its real name and is called by Cantonese people. But Cantonese people don't like this name, because "apple" and "poor" are homophonic, and the meaning is not very good. So, another name is Fukiko. ?

The second is nine layers of skin. Does this name sound strange? Because this fruit wants to be late, it is really impossible to make it impatient, because nuts are wrapped in layers of leather bags.

The third one is Eichhornia crassipes, which also sounds beautiful. It is so called because when the pod matures, it will crack a crack and look like the eyes of a phoenix. ?

Pingpo really has nothing to do with peanuts, but it looks like it. It tastes like chestnuts, but it's not so dry. It is a good material for making soup. Some people also use it to stew chickens and ducks. ?

In addition, there is a custom about flat slopes. Before Tanabata, the flat slope was mature, and the early fruit pods were green and looked unremarkable, but when Tanabata approached, the fruit pods would become very red and beautiful, which can be described as high-value fruits. In ancient times, Tanabata, also known as Begging for Cleverness Festival, was a very important festival. The flat slope may be because it grows in the wild and is easy to pick, or the fruit pods are as bright as fire, which is very suitable for sacrifice. Since ancient times, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places have used Pingpo to offer sacrifices on Tanabata.

In addition to Guangdong and Guangxi, there are also flat women in Lingnan, which can be seen everywhere. But the local people think that although the taste is ok, it is really troublesome to eat, and young people don't take it seriously. Only old people will take time to peel some and go back to stew. ?

However, the fruit yield of Pingpo is not high, and the people who eat it are concentrated in Lingnan area, so few people plant it. But in some cities in Guangxi, you can see a lot of roadside, and completely regard the flat slope as green plants. The result is real-time, and it is fiery red, really beautiful.

Nowadays, people in cities like to eat local flavor. Many native goods that no one wants in rural areas have become delicious food on the table of city people. Pingpo is one of them, and the price is very high, 17 yuan Jin. Luxe pods are tied into a bundle, which is very eye-catching If you know what it is, you can buy some to try.

I wonder if any of you have eaten Pingpo? Is it really as beautiful as the phoenix eye? Welcome to share your message.
