Many good friends who grew up in the countryside often ate wild fruits when they were children. After all, their living conditions were not as good as they are now. Many rural children will go to the wild or the mountains to find some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. In China, however, there are abundant products and many kinds of wild fruits, many of which are probably unheard of or even seen before. In the mountainous area of southern China, there is a very unique wild fruit, which grows on stones. Folk customs often use it to make soup. The soup is delicious, but many people have never heard of its name, or think it is a kind of fruit after hearing its name. These unique wild fruits are "Stone Xiantao".

It is not accurate to say that Shi Xiantao is a wild fruit, but most people will think it is a wild fruit when they first see it. After all, its characteristics are too obvious. Shi Xiantao is a woody plant of Orchidaceae, which looks very unique. Its underground stem is very thick, just like an environmentally friendly jujube. It has only 1 to 2 small leaves at the top, which can't cover its underground stem like a wild fruit, so it has always been considered as a "wild fruit". Stone Xiantao is widely distributed in China, and is found in most provinces in East China, South China and Southwest China, so there are many aliases in the workshops, such as lotus on the rock, olive on the stone, stone on the plate, and leaves on the fruit. Because every region has different views, it is easy to be confused.

For example, in the southwest of China, people like to call the stone peach "stone olive", and in the southeast of China, people call it "stone peach". People who don't know about stone peach will mistake stone peach for a peach and stone olive for an olive, but in fact, stone peach and stone olive refer to the same plant. Stone Xiantao is not only interesting in name, but also a very effective green plant. As early as in ancient China, Shi Xiantao was a kind of health-preserving medicated diet common in China folk customs. Up to now, there are still many mountain people who often go to the mountains to find Shi Xiantao and use it as a wild vegetable to cook soup. It is said that the pure wild stone peach is not only very effective in diet therapy, but also delicious.

Modern research has found that this kind of walnut is really an excellent food, and its own nutritional value is very considerable, containing a variety of nutrients, carbohydrates and mineral elements. At the same time, Shitao is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which is pungent and cool, and has many functions such as nourishing yin and moistening lung, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, benefiting qi and enriching blood, so now Shitao has become a common health food in the market. Stone peaches have many uses, but they are often used in folk customs or for making soup. Whether it is used to make soup, bone soup or other soups, adding a little stone peach can not only make the soup taste fresher, but also have good use value in dietotherapy.

In the southern region, Shi Xiantao is relatively cheap, and generally 10 yuan can buy a catty. The fundamental reason is that plants such as Shixiantao grow in the middle of barren hills. The more natural they are, the higher their nutrients will be. To harvest such a natural stone peach, it is very rare to consume both human resources and funds, plus natural stone peach. Therefore, Shi Xiantao has been planted artificially for a long time, and the scope is quite large, so the price can be so cost-effective. Natural Chinese olive generally grows in forests at an altitude of 65,438+0,500 meters, or on humus rocks under cliffs or forests. Go to the mountains and meet natural stone peaches, and you will make money. It is said that today's natural stone peaches are similar to 65,438+0,000 kilograms.
