all say that autumn is the season of fruitful fruits. Recently, a netizen broke the news to the editor, saying that when he was climbing gem mountain , he met his uncle was picking up a wild fruit that looked like a chestnut, and he took a few of them away, wondering what it could do.
When I saw the photo, the editor was also dumbfounded: Isn't this just a chestnut!
However, after consulting a few old Hangzhou people around, everyone said: This is not a chestnut, it is called Quercus acutissima. It can be used to make tofu or as a child's toy.
October is the ripening season of Sawtooth oak fruit
Can be seen everywhere along the West Lake
When I was young in Hangzhou, I used it as a toy
Sawtooth oak is a kind of tall deciduous tree with leaves They are long and sharp, mostly on the mountainside. October is the season of its maturity. Standing under the tree, you will hear the "cracking" sound of the "crack" of the oak fruit. The golden nuts fall from the tree and fall all over the ground.
Sawtooth oak trees are very common in Hangzhou, such as Geishan Mountain, Lone Mountain , Baidi ...you can see them everywhere.
"Sawtooth oak fruit, we used it as a top when we were young." When the editor visited the gem mountain on the spot, I ran into Uncle Hou who came to exercise alone.
Uncle Hou picked up one and introduced it to the editor: "Put two small holes in the two ends of the oak fruit, pierce them with a wire, and then put a match in. The match head is facing down. I can turn the top."
In addition to making a top,It can also be used as marbles.
"At that time, children from rich people took glass beads, but ordinary people like us would play with the scutellaria fruit." Uncle Hou played with the fruit in his hand and said with a smile.
Have you eaten tofu with sawtooth oak fruit?
Sister Weng revealed the "exclusive secret recipe"
You can try it at home
When chatting with the uncle, many passing citizens stopped and recognized the fruits in our hands. : "Oh, isn't this a Scutellaria fruit?"
There are some Scutellaria fruit that are not yet ripe, but they have fallen
I heard that this can be used to make tofu, have you eaten it? When the editor asked this, everyone shook their heads: "I have heard it before, but I have never eaten it."
There is only one Sister Weng, who said that she has not only eaten it, but can also make: "Speech oak fruit tofu It tastes slippery, just like sweet potato starch and potato starch, but with a bit bitter taste."
The specific method can also be shared with everyone. It is not difficult, but it takes a little time:
hemp The oak fruit is sun-dried and shelled, soaked in water for about a month (Sawtooth oak fruit has a natural bitter and astringent taste, so it must be soaked for enough time), the pulp is crushed into powder, and then deposited in the water. Pour out the water after sedimentation, and dry the fruit powder. The whole process is a bit like making lotus root powder.
If you think this step is too cumbersome, you can actually buy the ready-made acorn powder , which is acorn powder.
When making tofu,Put the sawberry fruit powder in boiling water to make a batter, the ratio is about 1:5, and add a little salt. Then pour it into the lunch box, and when the batter cools, it becomes a whole piece of sawtooth oak fruit tofu.

When you want to eat, just use a knife to cut a few pieces out, add some coriander, minced garlic, millet pepper, hot oil, the taste is particularly fragrant.

In addition to Quercus acutissima, another kind of "little yellow fruit" has recently been screened in the circle of friends of Hangzhou people, that is ginkgo , Hangzhou people like to call it "Gingkoer".

Because the taste is sweet and waxy, and the nutritional value is relatively high, someone specially picks it up and eats it. Pick up and pick up, everyone must not do uncivilized behaviors such as shaking the tree.
My neighbor Aunt Fang and her family are "ginkgo lovers" and have already had experience: "Remove the pulp, clean it, and bake it in the microwave for three and a half minutes. The taste is delicious and sweet. But you can't eat more. , To be poisoned.”

Indeed, ginkgo is flat, sweet, slightly bitter, and poisonous. Many people think that ginkgo is rich in nutrients, and they are eager for it, but they don't know that ginkgo is a kind of Chinese medicinal material, which is generally not suitable for eating as a dried fruit snack, and excessive consumption can be fatal.
You can’t eat too much, but Ginkgo Lin is quite suitable for taking pictures. There are a lot of ginkgo trees in the urban area of Hangzhou.For example, Zhaohui Park, Binjiang Park, Banshan National Forest Park, Wuyun Mountain and so on. Until November, these are good places to appreciate ginkgo.
