Pandas are China’s national treasures. Every time when pandas are mentioned, a fat and cute bear should appear in everyone’s mind. This is also the impression that pandas have always given people.
However, pandas are not cute by nature. In fact, pandas have very strong fighting power. The bite force of their teeth is second only to that of crocodiles. However, because the current living environment does not threaten them, the pandas you see now are all
is cute.
In fact, pandas appeared earlier than humans. 8 million years ago, people discovered an animal that was particularly similar to pandas, called the "primitive panda". Its discovery is considered to be the ancestor of pandas.
I believe everyone knows that pandas like to eat bamboo, and they eat it very quickly. However, bamboo is a very hard thing, especially after it is split, it can puncture the skin.
But why do pandas eat such hard bamboo without hurting their mouths?
As we all know, pandas did not originally eat bamboo. Due to the influence of their growth environment, giant pandas were eventually forced to choose to eat bamboo. However, it was precisely their choice that allowed pandas to survive in the ever-changing evolutionary process, which is very important.
To some extent thanks to eating bamboo.
Over the course of history, because pandas have been eating hard bamboo for a long time, the internal structure of the giant panda's mouth has naturally adapted to eating bamboo, just like the way carnivores on the African grasslands are used to tasting delicious food, that is, the giant panda tastes
It looks like delicious food, so it exercises the giant panda’s relatively powerful bite force in its mouth.
It is reported that the average bite force of pandas is 350 pounds, while the bite force of humans is only 88 pounds. In comparison, the bite force of pandas is four times greater than that of humans. It has such a powerful bite.
Pandas can eat bamboo that humans think is so hard, just as easily as humans eat tofu.
In fact, giant pandas also select bamboo when they eat it, just like we usually buy vegetables, specifically selecting fresh and crisp bamboo.
But pandas don’t just eat bamboo. They occasionally change their taste. Sugarcane is a tall, solid herb that is similar to bamboo in appearance, so giant pandas will occasionally eat sugarcane as a change.
taste.
Sugarcane is rich in nutrients.
Sugarcane can be divided into black sugarcane, black green sugarcane, white jade sugarcane, etc. according to its appearance. It is a tall and solid perennial herbaceous plant with thick and very developed rhizomes and a stalk as high as 3-5 meters. It likes to grow in fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, and a temperature difference between winter and summer.
Great place to grow.
In fact, sugarcane is native to India and is now widely planted in tropical and subtropical areas. Sugarcane is the raw material for manufacturing sucrose and can also be used to refine ethanol as an energy alternative.
Sugarcane is also rich in sugar, water, and various vitamins, fats, proteins, organic acids, calcium, iron and other substances that are very beneficial to human metabolism. The most important role in our lives is sugar production. Sugarcane also has
It has a certain therapeutic effect and is a good therapeutic product that can clear, moisten, sweet, cool and nourish.
Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once praised sugar cane in "Cherry Poems" and wrote: "You don't have to worry about internal heat when eating, as high officials still have sugar cane juice."
?Some people may ask since sugar cane is so delicious and has good benefits for our human body.
So why do we humans have to spit out the residue when eating sugar cane?
First of all, sugarcane bagasse is not toxic and will not cause a poisoning reaction even if you don't spit it out.
Moreover, sugarcane bagasse contains a lot of potassium, which is helpful for the flowering of flowers and plants. At the same time, sugarcane bagasse also contains a small amount of phosphorus and nitrogen, so the nutrition contained in sugarcane bagasse is relatively balanced and can be used as a natural
organic fertilizer.
Generally, domestic flowers and plants prefer slightly acidic soil, such as gardenias, azaleas, etc. These have higher requirements for soil acidity. If they are planted in neutral or alkaline soil, they will grow poorly or die.
At this time, sugarcane bagasse plays a role? It can be directly put into the flower pot as a base fertilizer for growing flowers, because growing flowers with fermented sugarcane bagasse can maintain the slightly acidic properties of the soil for a long time, which is conducive to the growth of flowers and plants.
However, it should be noted that sugarcane bagasse must be fermented in advance before use (it can be placed in soil for fermentation), so as to avoid excessive heat in the sugarcane bagasse.
However, sugarcane meat contains a lot of crude fiber. If you swallow it without spitting it out, it will easily damage the throat wall and cause throat pain. The most important thing is that our human stomach cannot digest these crude fibers at all.
If we insist on swallowing it, it is likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. When we eat sugar cane, we only drink the juice squeezed out of the sugar cane meat. Therefore, we must spit out the residue when we eat sugar cane.
