Introduction: What kind of plant is , horn , which has a fruit that looks like a cow horn? Why was it ever pulled out as a weed? What are their value? Friends are familiar with the tender green fruits in the
pictures, especially children who grow up in the water town!
It is called water chestnut and is a very common aquatic plant! It is also aquatic wild fruits that I often ate when I was a child!
What kind of water chestnut is the horns that can be seen everywhere?
horns are Chinese native plants of the genus 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子 2 海大子
leaves are dark green, rhomboid, jagged edges, and regularly arranged and floated on the water surface, forming diamond plates, purple-red stems, and airbags in the middle section, blooming yellow and white flowers, and fibrous roots are like iron wires and deeply rooted in the mud, hanging over the roots. They are a very common aquatic plant!
fruits are hidden deep under leaves densely covered with water surface. The water chestnut seedlings must be turned over to see the water chestnut fruits in groups of three or three, which are usually mixed with lotus roots, water hyacinths and other aquatic plants!
Wild water chestnuts were once pulled out as weeds!
The water chestnut is quite adaptable to the environment. In addition to being poor in cold resistance, waters of all sizes can grow well. Why is this water chestnut that looks harmless to humans and animals? Why is it removed as a weed?
water chestnut plants grow rapidly and branch quickly. A single water chestnut can divide about 6-8 water chestnuts, each water chestnut has more than 40 leaves. Under suitable water and fertilizer conditions and temperature, it can cover the open water in a short time, and then flood into disasters, squeezing the living space of other aquatic animals and plants!
Before, in the editor’s hometown, rivers and ponds, the water chestnuts were crowded with dense water chestnuts everywhere. In the season when water chestnuts are growing vigorously, they must be salvaged with various mesh tools because there are too many! Every year when dirt and repair canals, the seeds of the old water chestnuts and other plants will be cleared out together with the silt. Otherwise, they will have more numbers in the coming year and block the irrigated rivers and ditches!
What is the value of water chestnuts?
water chestnuts are called water chestnuts in the editor's hometown. The greatest value is to be eaten. I remember that when I was a child, when water chestnuts were on the market, there were always some aunts in the streets of my hometown who would carry some cooked water chestnuts with bamboo baskets and sell them along the street!
water chestnut contains a variety of vitamins, protein and starch. Young fruits can be eaten raw. Old water chestnuts can be cooked, and water chestnuts can be made with water chestnuts !
However, water chestnuts are a very embarrassing existence. It is said that it is a fruit, it has no sweetness and no moisture, and it tastes like chewing wax. If you want to say it is a vegetable, I have never seen anyone who often buys water chestnuts to stir-fry them! It’s nothing more than a mature season. After it’s cooked, I’ll grab one of them as a casual snack and eat and play with them!
However, now, the development and utilization of water chestnuts, water chestnut powder, canned water chestnuts, water chestnut slices and other snack foods developed with water chestnuts as raw materials have greatly improved the utilization value of water chestnuts!
Conclusion!
water chestnuts are still very common now, but the number and types of water chestnuts in the wild are generally much less than in the past. At least in the editor’s hometown, water chestnuts that can be seen everywhere are now sparse, growing lonely in the corners of some ponds and ditches. They used to be dense and crowded, and they have not seen them again for many years!
is actually easy to understand. Although the editor’s hometown has water chestnut distribution, it is not the main production area of water chestnuts. With the large-scale use of herbicides and the rise of crayfish breeding, the originally prosperous wild water chestnuts gradually became less and less!
is OK. Do you think the water chestnut is delicious, friends? What other things are worth talking about about water chestnuts? Let’s leave a message to discuss!
