? The weather is getting colder, and the Toona sinensis fruit on the old Toona sinensis tree at the door of the house is ripe. My mother-in-law asked people to pick the Toona sinensis fruit and hang it under the eaves. Many people don't understand that Toona sinensis buds can be used as delicious ingredients. What is the use of this Toona sinensis fruit?
? First of all, the fruit of Toona sinensis can be used as seeds. My hometown is located in the mountainous area, with good ecological environment and climatic conditions, which is very suitable for planting Toona sinensis trees. In recent years, Toona sinensis buds, as seasonal wild vegetables, have been valued at a high level with their unique fragrance and rich nutritional value. Therefore, the development of Toona sinensis planting has become an industry to increase the income of our local people. The development of Toona sinensis planting, in addition to cutting and burying roots, is more about using Toona sinensis fruit, that is, Toona sinensis seeds for reproduction, and then transplanting seedlings.
? Secondly, the fruit of Toona sinensis can be used as a medicinal material. Most of our mountainous areas have a high, cold and cool climate, so the local people often use dried Toona sinensis seeds as medicine. The old people in the village often say that Toona sinensis belongs to a kind of "hair", and there has always been a saying that Toona sinensis is hairy, which means that people with chronic diseases cannot eat Toona sinensis. However, when used well, Toona sinensis is also a good medicinal material, which can dispel wind, relieve pain and dispel cold, so rural people will also use Toona sinensis fruit as medicine.
? Thirdly, Toona sinensis fruit is a good condiment. There is a local delicacy in our hometown: chicken and leek, among which the essential spice is Toona sinensis seed, which is as thin as cicada's wings taken from Toona sinensis fruit. We call it Toona sinensis seed. Here I tell you a warm-hearted story. A long time ago, there lived a mother and son in our mountain. The son was very filial. When he saw that the old mother had a bad mouth and couldn't eat anything, his heart was very distressed. Later, he thought of a good way to skillfully use the stone mortar at home, put the cooked ingredients in the stone mortar and feed them to his mother. In order to let his mother eat delicious food, he tried every means. On one occasion, he put Toona sinensis or Toona sinensis seeds and chicken together, but he didn't expect her to eat it with great praise, saying that it was simply invincible. From then on, pounded chicken became famous and became a business card of our local catering. Later, pounded vegetables with Toona sinensis seeds as seasoning, whether vegetables, beans, potatoes or meat, could be pounded, suitable for all ages.
? Tips: 1. Not all Toona sinensis trees will bear fruit. Only Toona sinensis trees will bear fruit after growing for more than ten years or decades, and they will be harvested and dried in autumn every year for later use. Peel off the hard outer shell, and there will be several thin seed wings between the fruit shaft and the fruit petal, which are translucent, yellow and white, and the base part is oblique. This is the seed of Toona sinensis. Only the seed of Toona sinensis can be used as seasoning, but its shell and fruit shaft are not available.
2. How to eat: After the seeds of Toona sinensis are finely ground or ground, they will give off a charming and special fragrance, which can be used as a cold salad, or as a seasoning for meat products such as chicken, duck and goose. The taste is fragrant and unforgettable. Therefore, in our hometown, Toona sinensis seeds are loved by the market and consumers, and their uses are also very wide.
