Even jiaozi and steamed bread, which we often eat, are deeply loved by them. There is also a very expensive food, which is difficult for ordinary people in China to afford, but it is very sought after in some European and American countries. This ingredient is Morchella.
Some people may not be familiar with this ingredient, and it also has a name called mutton tripe. In fact, it is not meat, just because there are many small holes on the surface, which is a bit like lamb belly, so it has this name.
This kind of food is very famous in the world, and it is a precious and rare edible fungus. There are many kinds of vitamins in it with high content. In addition, there are more than twenty minerals and rich carbohydrates. It can not only tonify the kidney and strengthen the brain, but also refresh the brain. Both edible value and medicinal value are high. It can be said to be an advanced tonic for human nutrition.
Morchella can be divided into wild and cultivated. The former is mostly grown in Yunnan and Sichuan. It has high requirements for the environment, and it grows in humus layer, which requires the soil to be very wet and the precipitation to be more. Some of them are farmed artificially, and most of them are planted in Anhui and Henan. There should be enough oxygen and good ventilation when breeding so that they can grow normally. Morchella is a fungus, but it is harmless. It can help digestion after eating, and also has the effect of resolving phlegm and regulating qi.
Morchella is suitable for any season, which can effectively prevent colds and enhance our resistance. It contains a variety of mineral elements necessary for human body, especially potassium and phosphorus, which is several times that of mushrooms and cordyceps sinensis. The price of fresh Morchella is very high, about a catty in 90 yuan. If it's dried morel, it costs thousands of yuan a catty. Because the price is too high, ordinary families cannot afford it. Therefore, most of the morels in China are dried and exported to some countries in Europe and America, and the local price is much higher than that in China.
The best way for Morchella to stew soup with chicken is not only delicious, but also helpful for digestion. If you have money at home, you can buy dried morels to make soup. The method is relatively simple, just wash it, soak it in warm water for half an hour, and then make soup according to the usual habit. I suggest you put less seasoning and add some salt. The soup made in this way is delicious enough.
