Pepper is the most regional. People in coastal cities don't like spicy food so much, while people in deep mountains prefer pepper because of the region and weather. These gaps are vividly reflected in Fujian province. Minnan, a coastal city, has a light taste and prefers fresh and sweet taste, while Wuyishan in northern Fujian tastes more like Jiangxi people.
The cultivation of pepper is also regional. Morning pepper is produced in Hunan and Jiangxi, so that the local people's taste is strong and irritating. To describe Hunan cuisine and Jiangxi cuisine in one word is "rushing". Suddenly, it is really spicy, which immediately makes people feel spicy.
It is these two areas that produce the most popular capsicum annuum, and also produce the three "royal capsicum annuum" in China, namely, the capsicum annuum in Zhangshu Port of Hunan, the No.1 capsicum in Huangjiao and the capsicum in Yuganhong Maple Tree of Jiangxi. The price should be above 100 yuan, especially the price of pepper in Zhangshu Port is the highest, and the price of fried pepper is even more than 400 yuan.
1. Morning pepper in Zhangshu Port
Chaotian pepper, the boss of Hunan, is very expensive and can only be planted in Zhangshu Port. Although the greenhouse planting has been completed now, it still suffers from the trouble of climate. Once the ambient temperature is too high or there is a flood, the pepper will get nothing, and you will not be able to eat fresh pepper in Zhangshu Port this year.
This kind of pepper is often excellent because it can be eaten raw, more spicy, and can also eat a little sweet, which is really rare in Hunan, a region full of spicy peppers. Other pepper can only be a supporting role, camphor tree port pepper can be used as the protagonist of a dish, add a little meat to eat, and the flavor is extremely good.
Second, Huangjiao No.1
Huangjiao No.1, which comes from Huangtuling Town, is not only well-known in China, but also exported to overseas, especially favored by foreign customers. Limited by many factors, this variety of capsicum frutescens must be planted in Huangtuling Town. The perfect appearance of capsicum frutescens is crystal clear, with excellent aroma and taste, and it is the favorite of people who like Hunan cuisine.
The nutritional components of Huangjiao No.1 are also admirable. It not only has vitamins needed by the body, but also contains carotene, folic acid tablets, minerals and dietary fibres. If it is eaten for a long time, it has the effects of enhancing appetite, antioxidation and promoting digestion. Therefore, Huangjiao No.1 has also become a royal morning pepper, which was sold for 1 kg 100 yuan.
Three, Yu Gan red maple morning pepper
Chaotian pepper, a delicious food from Jiangxi, is undoubtedly the best partner to go with pork belly for Jiangxi people who eat Chili all over the place. Spicy with a little sweet taste, thin skin and tender meat, not yet cooked, simple and fried with sliced meat, shiny oil, not fragrant.
In the past, the price of red maple pepper in Yugan was a catty in 200 yuan. Ning Wuzeng's "A Random Record of Changing Zhai" contained: "There are continents in Raozhou's Yugan water area, and the people on the continent grow peppers with good taste." It shows that the pepper is excellent, but the nutrition, taste and sweetness of this pepper have been recognized by the local people.
Is it really worth the money to spend a high price on Chili peppers, or is it an accidental income tax? Frankly speaking, nowadays, the pepper production is high, and the young population is heavy, which makes many people mistakenly think that capsicum annuum is a cost-effective ingredient, but they don't know that capsicum annuum is so expensive in the vast land of China.
