I don't know if you have seen this jelly-like thing when you were young. There were no snacks before, let alone soft drinks, so children especially like to drink this soaked water. The soaked water is sour and sweet, which is simply the best drink they have ever had.

I want to introduce a delicious food. Its surface looks very smooth, just like a piece of fat. The name of this dish is vinegar moth.

Vinegar moth, a delicious food, may not be seen by many young people, but it is very familiar to the elderly who have settled for a certain period of time.

The so-called vinegar moth is inseparable from old vinegar! The origin of this food is interesting. At the beginning, some old people left the old vinegar at home for a long time. At that time, many people thought it was vinegar gone bad.

Acetobacter xylinum is a substance whose main component is Acetobacter mucilaginosus. Acetobacter membranaceus: also known as Acetobacter membranaceus and Acetobacter xylinum, it is also the main component of thick film in black tea fungus. Acetobacter membranaceus is a gram-positive bacterium with a cell size of about 0.6× 2 ~ 3 microns, which can form chains and connect with each other to form membranes. The main component of its cell wall is cellulose, so the membrane formed has certain toughness. Acetobacter membranaceus is an aerobic bacterium. Under aerobic conditions, glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid, and then further oxidized to ketogluconic acid, which is the precursor of vitamin C. Therefore, the liquid of black tea fungus contains a lot of vitamin C. According to the analysis, every 100 ml of kombucha liquid can contain 10 ~ 30 mg of vitamin C. In addition, Acetobacter membranaceus can also convert ethanol into acetic acid and lactic acid, which increases the acidity of the culture solution.

However, some people thought it was a pity to throw it away, so they ate it themselves. I didn't expect them to taste different once, so this kind of food began to spread. People have summed up the method of making vinegar moths through long-term experience accumulation. It is not a problem that such a small piece of vinegar moth can be used for more than ten years. They are actually a collection of various fungi. Only with them can a jar of vinegar be preserved for a long time without deterioration, and the vinegar brewed by the ancient method of vinegar moth has a real pure fragrance. This kind of vinegar moth can be cultivated not only in vinegar, but also in black tea, so they are also called "black tea fungi".

Some vinegar altars were handed down from the elders in the family and have been in use ever since. Vinegar brewed every year can be sold at a high price, ten times more expensive than vinegar on the market. City people pay attention to cleanliness and dare not sell vinegar brewed by vinegar moths. In fact, vinegar moth will grow with vinegar of real year. For some old people, this food has been washed for many years. Now that people's living standards have improved, this kind of food has been gradually forgotten by people, but some old people will still make it! Have you ever seen such a magical thing as vinegar moth? I heard that there are still such traditional crafts in many areas. If you have, you can leave a message below to share with everyone!
