You see, eating noodles with sesame sauce in summer; Eat hot pot and sesame sauce in winter; Eat vegetables with sesame sauce; All kinds of snacks are also inseparable from sesame sauce, fried belly, noodles and tea, sesame sauce sesame cakes and so on.
Since you want to know why people like sesame paste, you should start from the source and say how sesame paste came from.
Sesame paste is a paste made of fried sesame seeds. Because of its unique aroma and taste, it has been accepted and deeply loved by the public in the north.
In the process of making sesame paste, the choice of sesame is also particular. Sesame can be divided into white sesame and black sesame, so sesame paste also has the difference between white sesame paste and black sesame paste.
In fact, there is little difference between the two. The main purpose of white sesame sauce is to eat, such as the bottom material of hot pot that is often eaten. Black sesame sauce is eaten less, but it is mostly used for medicine, nourishing and benefiting qi.
Sesame, also known as flax, has been around for a long time in China.
Since there is a Hu character, it basically means that this thing was probably introduced in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, it is also very likely that it existed in China at that time, but it was not widely circulated, and it was unified by the name of flax, of course. These are not the key points. The point is that sesame has been one of the oil crops since ancient times, and the oil content of seeds is as high as 55%.
With the use of sesame oil, sesame paste appeared.
Although it appeared early, you have to understand that farmers in ancient China were very poor. Even if they really squeezed oil or made sesame paste, there were not many, even none, left in the hands of farmers.
Therefore, even if we know that sesame sauce and sesame oil (sesame oil) are delicious, it is difficult for everyone to satisfy their appetite.
Therefore, sesame sauce is delicious, and I think it has been circulating since then.
Although the dynasty changed many times during the period, in fact, farmers enjoyed a good life for decades at most. Once the ruling class was fixed and land annexation began, farmers still had no good life and were always at the bottom of society.
It is true that in ancient times, there was a saying that "scholars, peasants, industry and commerce", but basically it was the two classes of "agriculture" and "industry" who had a hard life.
Until the founding of the People's Republic of China, although the serfs turned to sing and the peasants turned to be masters, anyone who knows something about the history of the country knows that in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's economic level was actually not very good.
Due to some social reasons at that time, the supply of sesame paste was more according to the quantity.
After a hard time, do you think it will be delicious?
Teacher Ma Weidong talks about sesame paste.
Of course, in fact, most of the reputation still comes from parents' words and deeds, parents have been told by their parents, and finally, through their own personal experience, they have come to their mouths. Ouch, that's called delicious and fragrant!
Teacher Dou Wen Tao said sesame paste coated with steamed bread
In modern society, the national economy is getting better and better, so sesame paste is not a rare thing. You can eat it every day if you want.
However, as soon as people who are used to it leave it, they still want to.
Director China Chen Xiaoqing said sesame sauce on the tip of the tongue.
So, that's how it got around.
Of course, it is definitely not only delicious, but also nutritious. After all, sesame also has the reputation of "the crown of eight grains".
Sesame paste is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and has high health care value.
Rich lecithin content, high calcium, high iron, high protein and high linoleic acid.
Can prevent premature whitening or shedding of hair.
Eating mixed sesame sauce can increase skin elasticity and make skin soft and healthy. In addition, it contains high protein and fatty acid, which has high nutritional value and can prevent cancer if eaten frequently.
However, after all, there is still a saying that good things are not suitable for everyone. As for those who are not suitable, let's put it mildly, those who are too fat are not suitable ~
