To buy good pecans, we must combine the four steps of "looking, smelling, asking and tasting".
1, that is, to see whether the particle size and color of hickory nuts are bright, generally the ones with larger particles and bright colors are top grades;
2, it is the smell, the newly fried pecan has a fragrance that Chen Zi can't match;
3, just ask the price, if it is lower than the market price of the year, then you should be careful, be careful that "cheap goods are not good";
4. It's tasting. If the hickory has an unpleasant musty smell after being bitten, or the mouth smells of mugwort oil, it may be Chen Zi, which not only tastes bad, but also may affect your health.
How to distinguish between oilseeds, aged seeds and empty seeds
1) Don't blindly choose the size of hickory, it may not be a good product. Now sellers generally call their pecans big seeds, and the price is often very high. In fact, this is a mode of operation, but it is a little misleading to consumers. In some areas, pecan seeds are big, but there is not much meat, mostly shells. Most of them will be cheated, so spend more money to buy some shells to go home. In fact, the correct method should mainly depend on whether the pecans are uniform, and the weight of each pit should be similar. If the weight is similar, it means that the meat is full.
2) At present, the equipment of the processing plant is relatively advanced, and some original seeds are generally purchased at low prices in the off-season and kept in the cold storage. The following year, pecans were sold as new products. In fact, this matter is difficult to distinguish from the taste and appearance, and the difference is not big. Even the locals have been fooled. The most difficult thing to distinguish is that the old and the new are sold together to reduce costs. The most direct and effective way is to look at the price. If the selling price is lower than the average selling price by more than 3 yuan, there are generally some problems. Because we haven't entered the capitalist society, don't expect to sell it as a living Lei Feng.
Carya cathayensis is a kind of snack food. Of course, there are many physical and chemical indexes that consumers can't distinguish, but we can know from the origin and product characteristics of Carya cathayensis. Generally speaking, the best pecans are produced in pollution-free areas, and the age of the trees is over 50 years. The more the number, the more concentrated the better. Scientific cultivation can ensure the taste and fullness. 70% of hickory is produced in Lin 'an, and 50% in Lin 'an is produced in island city. Relatively speaking, island walnuts are ideal.
The empty shell of good fried pecan should be 0, the incomplete fruit should be controlled within 3%, and the particles should be uniform, because this can ensure uniform heating during frying; Open the bottle comprehensively to ensure the taste and fragrance; Round is to ensure the kernel content of pecans. The key is to have a fragrance after biting, to be crisp, golden in color, and the best to eat.
In addition to the requirements of frying pecans, hand-peeled pecans mainly require its openness and openness. If the openness and openness are not in place, the cost is very different. Pay attention to whether there are many broken shells in the small package. If there are many, it is likely to be the result of merchant fraud.
The quality of hickory mainly depends on the sugar content. Generally speaking, benevolence should be divided into petals. No petals, excellent luster, high sugar content and salt content, low relative cost, too much polysaccharide flavor will destroy the unique original flavor of hickory; Kernels should be full and complete, and small packaged products should pay special attention to whether there are many broken kernels. In the same way, if there are more, it is difficult for businesses to avoid suspicion; It is particularly important to note that if there are genuine walnuts in pecans, it is difficult to distinguish them. Mainly depends on whether the shape and stripes are the same, if not, there is a problem. In addition, after processed and sold, pecans are more difficult to distinguish than the shelf life. I didn't know until I ate it, mainly because there was no fragrance, only a strange smell.
Finally, it is suggested that you must choose merchants with high integrity to ensure the quality and reputation of pecans.
The first is to look at the color of pecans. The color of new hickory is light yellow, even and bright. However, the aged hickory is dark brown in color. So the first thing is to observe whether the particles in pecans are light yellow and uniform. If some pecans are different in color from other particles, this part of pecans may be mixed with Chen Shanren. If the color is even and dark, we should also pay attention, because a large number of Chen Shan's nuclear products were not sold out last year, and they will definitely appear on the market this year. In addition, if the hickory is not well preserved in the initial sun, there will be oil seed phenomenon, the surface looks wet and oily, which is actually caused by the leakage of hickory oil, and the walnut kernel inside is no longer edible.
Then look at the grain of hickory shell. Carya cathayensis has a thin shell with many kernels, delicate shell and delicate grain. Carya cathayensis has a hard shell, rough shell and rough texture.
