With the decrease of temperature and the arrival of autumn, walking on a sidewalk covered with ginkgo leaves on both sides unconsciously feels very refreshing and pleasing to the eye. It is the joy of a bumper harvest in Huang Cancan, which looks very beautiful and makes people feel a pleasant autumn. After the silver leaves fall to the ground one after another, you can see the dense fruits on the trees.
Ginkgo trees can be called living fossils in our country, because the history of planting in our country is very long, and the tree itself appeared as early as the Carboniferous period 345 million years ago. With the evolution of the earth's history for such a long time, it can be said that most species have become extinct, the most typical one is the extinction of dinosaurs, which is the extinction of large herbivores and carnivores, but ginkgo trees have survived, so they are called "Ginkgo trees"
another characteristic of ginkgo tree is that it grows very slowly. It takes more than 1 years or even hundreds of years for ginkgo trees to bear fruit, and the number of ginkgo trees will not increase much every year during the growth process. Moreover, it is a kind of tree that is difficult to reproduce naturally, and few ginkgo trees are propagated with solid wood.
In the past few years, because the number of ginkgo trees is scarce, the fruit of ginkgo trees is also very popular. In our south, there is a dish, which is stewed belly with ginkgo. Many people like to eat this dish. Of course, there are stewed chicken with ginkgo and stewed pig's feet with ginkgo, which all taste good. The most important thing is that ginkgo is rich in vitamins. Besides the conventional ingredients such as starch, protein, fat and sugar, ginkgo also contains trace elements such as vitamin C, so in general, there are still many people who like to eat.
However, one problem that should be noted is that there are certain toxins in ginkgo, and ginkgo can't be eaten raw. The bitter taste of eating raw is so great that ordinary people can't eat it. Ginkgo trees can only be used after processing.
After the ginkgo trees are ripe, they should be picked first, then the outer shell of the ginkgo trees should be peeled off, cleaned and then dried in the sun. After drying, they should be cooked at high temperature before eating. Therefore, it is suggested that the ginkgo trees should be stewed and cooked for a long time. 1. Why are the ginkgo nuts that have fallen all over the street not wanted now?
In fact, there is a saying from ancient times to now that things are scarce. If things are scarce and people's living standards are not high, they are very popular with people when they need them.
Just like a few years ago, some villagers collected these ginkgo nuts and sold them to people who collected ginkgo nuts for a few cents a catty. In those days, it was also an income for the peasants, which could also solve some of their practical difficulties. For their families, they were reluctant to eat them and wanted to keep them for sale.
Although it is difficult to grow ginkgo trees, grafting and cutting can be used to develop ginkgo trees. The growth period of ginkgo trees developed in this way is short, and it develops rapidly, and a large number of ginkgo trees are propagated. So ginkgo trees have developed rapidly. Now, many ginkgo fruits falling to the ground can be seen on the sidewalks of some streets.
It is precisely because of the large number that it is not unusual now. Moreover, with the improvement of people's living standards, people don't need to pick ginkgo nuts and sell them for a few cents, so no one picks them now.
Moreover, it is still difficult to process the picked ginkgo fruit, and it will take a long time to go through several processes. However, its selling value is not so high, just like the current walnuts, sometimes it is only two or three yuan a kilogram, which is far from enough labor cost. Therefore, some walnuts are hung on the trees, and no one is playing walnuts. This is the reason.
moreover, ginkgo is toxic to some extent, so you should not eat too much, and beware of poisoning. Now ginkgo is not wanted by people all over the street. What do you think? Welcome to exchange and discuss in the comment area.
