Usually we say we can't eat moldy peanuts, because moldy peanuts will produce aflatoxin, which is extremely toxic and will cause cancer. Unlike mildew, peanut germination does not produce toxic substances. There is no habit of eating sprouted peanuts in the south, but in the north, people in some places like to eat peanut bud, just like eating soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts.
However, when eating germinated peanuts, we must pay attention to observe whether they have mildew. Peanut germination and mildew are both produced under high moisture conditions. Although there is no causal relationship between the two, germinated peanuts still have the opportunity to be infected with aflatoxin. Therefore, if it is artificially germinated peanuts, there is no problem; If it is moldy and germinated because it is preserved for too long, it is absolutely inedible.
Peanuts are easily infected with Aspergillus flavus, and once they are moldy, they can't be eaten. Look at the surface of peanuts. If there is mildew or odor, it means you can't eat it.
Second, spontaneous peanut bud is rich in nutrition.
Peanut bud looks like bean sprouts, white as jade, with better nutrition and taste than peanuts.
It was found that the content of resveratrol in peanut bud was 100 times higher than that in peanut, and several times or even hundreds times higher than that in wine. It has the functions of inhibiting cancer cells, reducing blood fat, preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, delaying aging and so on, and has extremely high health care value.
Moreover, germination can also hydrolyze protein in peanuts into amino acids, which is beneficial to human absorption; Oil is converted into heat, and the fat content is greatly reduced, so people who are afraid of obesity can also eat it with confidence; At the same time, it is rich in vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and other minerals and a variety of amino acids needed by the human body, and is known as "papaya".
Third, send peanut bud yourself.
When choosing peanuts, you should choose white ones, with full grains and no concave and convex deformities.
Soak the selected peanuts in clear water for half a day to a day to make them fully absorb water and expand, take them out, rinse them with clear water for 2-3 times, and put them into sterilized seedling trays. The surface of the seedling tray is covered with a layer of black plastic film for heat preservation and moisture preservation, and water is sprayed 4-5 times a day to make the buds all wet, and the excess water flows out from the bottom of the tray, so that there will be no water in the tray, otherwise the buds will rot.
Peanut bud kept dark all the time during its growth, and covered it with a black film for shading after sowing. Pressing a layer of wood on the bud can make the bud fat. Generally, at normal temperature, a new bud can be produced in about 8 days.
When the cotyledons are not fully unfolded and the seed coat has not fallen off, the hypocotyl is thick and tender, such as chopsticks, about 2 cm long, and fibrous roots appear, it is the picking period.
