Purple Jade Huaishan is relatively common in Guangxi. The main planting areas are Shanglin, Wuming, Yulin Cenxi and Shaoping County in Nanning.

Purple jade yam was originally introduced from Taiwan. It is named "purple jade yam" because of its red flesh color. It is also called "purple ginseng" and "purple jade yam".

It is said that the purple jade yam variety introduced from Taiwan contains anthocyanins (water-soluble natural pigments widely found in nature) content 60 times that of Baihuai Mountain, and its nutritional value far exceeds that of ordinary yams.

But are many people like me, who have eaten Ziyu Huaishan for so many years and don’t know how it grows? Ziyu Huaishan grows by "lying"? Is it true?

It turns out that when farmers plant Purple Jade Huaishan, they will place a plastic pipe trough about 1 meter long at the root of each Purple Jade Huaishan seedling, and put cake fertilizer, chicken and duck manure or human and animal manure in it. Wait for organic fertilizer and bury it horizontally in the ground against both sides of the field ridge.

So the Purple Jade Huaishan does not grow upright and downward, but "lyes" and sleeps underground.

When its rhizome grows, it will grow sideways in the direction of the tube groove. Compared with growing downward while standing, Ziyu Huaishan rhizomes can maintain a slender figure when growing horizontally on the ground, thereby obtaining a better appearance. This "directional cultivation" method saves farmers a lot of effort and allows them to grow longer. The Huaishan Mountain looks good.

In addition to the simple freshly squeezed purple jade yam and fried purple yam, it is also a must-have for hot pot and soup. At the same time, yam is also the king of vegetables. Fried yam and made into sugar water , dumplings, snacks, sesame pastries; fried and eaten, it also has a fragrant, crispy and crisp flavor, and there are many ways to eat it.

Regular consumption can also improve the body's immunity, regulate the gastrointestinal tract, prevent blood sugar, clear blood vessels and prevent thrombosis, etc.
