There are many old houses in the countryside, and there is probably a kind of wild fruit on these old houses. If you see the "wild fruit" in this old rural house, please remember to cherish it. Its plants can be made into potted plants or bonsai, which is very beautiful and perfect.

And its seeds can be made into "bean jelly" which is very popular in the city now. However, people in the city may not be so blessed, because it is difficult to eat this original bean jelly in the city now!

bean jelly, also known as grass jelly, is probably loved by many people. Now bean jelly can be found everywhere in tea shops.

There are also some food stalls, and bean jelly is also very common.

Especially in summer, eating bean jelly is delicious and relieves summer heat.

With more and more people buying bean jelly, bean jelly food on the market is not cheap, and a bowl can reach more than ten yuan.

Actually, the production of bean jelly is very simple, and the cost is not high. If you learn to make bean jelly yourself, you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy it.

When it comes to raw materials for bean jelly, it is actually the most common plant in our life, which is found everywhere in rural areas.

It may be because it grows so much that many people ignore its existence, and some people even don't know that it can be made into bean jelly.

In some places, this plant is called bean jelly seed, ice jelly fruit or ghost steamed bread, etc. These are common names, but its real scientific name is actually called Ficus pumila, which belongs to a vine, spreading very well and can often be seen in some bushes or ravines.

Perhaps the environment where they grow is not particularly bright, which makes them easily overlooked by people.

This kind of vine always clings to some wet rocks or other plants, but it can't see the sun for a long time, but its vitality is extremely tenacious.

Ficus pumila leaves are small and dark green, and the stems and leaves are full of juice.

The time from growth and spread to practical results is not long.

The fruit of Ficus pumila is also very full. In summer, you can see that the whole vine of Ficus pumila is drooping, and there are large and small fruits on it.

the fruit looks like a fig, not only when it looks like it, but also when it is cut open.

after cutting, take out the pulp containing seeds, which is the main raw material for making bean jelly.

Of course, not all fruit pulp can be used. What we extract when making jelly is the seeds of Ficus pumila fruit, which look like black sesame seeds. Only this can make delicious jelly.

The bean jelly made from Ficus pumila seeds tastes strong, smooth and greasy, and is deeply loved by men, women and children.

Because the seeds contain a lot of pectin, even if no additives are added, they will taste QQ bounce. This pure natural jelly is the purest jelly, which is much better than the jelly with additives on the market.

The production process of Ficus pumila is not complicated. First, you need to take a proper amount of Ficus pumila seeds, wash them and dry them in the sun. When the water content of the seeds similar to black sesame seeds is completely gone, wrap them in gauze bags and soak them in clean mountain spring water.

The process of soaking can make the pectin of seeds wet, and then you just need to rub the seeds manually. This process may be a little tiring, but it is only one step away from the delicious hand rubbing ice powder.

It can be finished when all the pectin of the seeds in the transparent gauze bag is rubbed. It is very simple to judge whether the seeds are rubbed, just look at whether the seeds can still bubble and produce pectin.

You can eat the bean jelly when it is allowed to stand for a period of time. According to the weather, you can choose to refrigerate or keep warm.

Be sure to let it stand for at least 3 minutes. The bean jelly is delicious only after it is formed.

All the bean jelly we see in the market are cut into blocks or strips. In order to make more profits, merchants will add some small ingredients to increase the price of bean jelly. It is hot in summer, and even if it is expensive, many people still buy it.

It's much easier to cook at home by yourself through the above method. You can eat it for a long time once and save a lot of money on bean jelly.

Especially in summer, put the prepared bean jelly in the refrigerator and add some fruit, which is simply delicious!

Although it is difficult to see this kind of grass in cities now, most of the bean jelly we eat is made of some mixed powders, which are actually not pure enough, and some additives are added more or less.

However, this kind of grass will still grow in some urban-rural fringe areas. Compared with processed ice powder, hand-rubbed ice powder is more popular.

Ficus pumila is really amazing. An ordinary plant can make such delicious food.

In fact, it can not only make bean jelly, but also become a medicinal material with high medicinal value, and some people even pick it to make handicrafts with ornamental value.

Many indoor potted plants or rockeries can be decorated with Ficus pumila, which is very spreading and can quickly cover the rockeries, and can also save a lot of decoration costs.

If you have a chance to see this kind of "wild fruit" in an old rural house, you might as well dig one and plant it at home. It is perfect and especially beautiful to make a potted bonsai.

If you have a courtyard at home, you can also plant a Ficus pumila. It will grow luxuriantly and have many fruits, which is of great ornamental value. The seeds can also be used as "bean jelly", which is very delicious. Kill two birds with one stone. Why not?
