Foreign countries spent 5 billion on cleaning up, but our country planted a lot of them. Why is the gap so big?

With the development of information technology in recent years, we can also learn some foreign information through the Internet. In the past, we had to go out or go abroad to know whether the moon in foreign countries was rounder, but now we can know many things about foreign countries just by clicking on the Internet. Especially foreign cultures, you can get a rough idea of ??them through the Internet. It is also through the Internet that we can learn about many different networks between us and foreign countries.

As for the difference in species, I’m afraid it’s the hare. As we all know, in Australia, hare are rampant, and the locals have nothing to do with them. However, the hare in our country is extremely delicious, and the supply is often in short supply. Rabbits are quite rare. Therefore, many netizens always say that if we foodies can take a trip to Australia, maybe we can eliminate the scourge of local rabbits. Although this is a joke, if we foodies really want to "go out", the hare scourge will definitely be dealt with.

In recent years, kudzu has become rampant in the United States, and Japanese knotweed has harmed the environment in the UK. These are all shocking. After all, these two things are harmless to humans and animals in our country, and can even be said to be useful to us. Why? What if it becomes a disaster when you go abroad? Not to mention knotweed, which may be unfamiliar to many people. As far as Kudzu is concerned, almost no rural person is unfamiliar with it.

Kudzu root is a rare delicacy in rural areas, and it is also a crop with high economic value. Pueraria lobata is a perennial leguminous vine. From the above-ground part, it is no different from other plants. However, the underground rhizomes are very precious ingredients for the older generation. Historically, Pueraria lobata also acted as a traditional Chinese medicinal material. But why is it so common in the United States?

The reason is that the food culture in the United States is very different from ours. They don’t have the habit of eating tree roots. They don’t know what else to do with kudzu besides watching this plant. They watch us holding it. When kudzu comes to eat, they will even be surprised and unable to understand it at all. Kudzu has no value to them. Of course, except for the remaining bits that can be used as firewood, it is really useless.

But why is the wild kudzu root in our country being dug up to extinction? Because it is a rare commodity in our eyes. has become a hot planting industry. On the surface, Pueraria lobata is very important to rural people. The main method of eating Pueraria lobata is to grind the rhizomes into powder and then make some special delicacies, such as the popular Kudzu custard jelly.

The medicinal value of kudzu root has long been recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica": "It is mainly responsible for quenching thirst, severe body fever, vomiting, various numbness, inducing yin qi, and relieving various poisons." The most direct way to eat it is to boil it with water. Kudzu root boiled with water has the effect of reducing heat and eliminating internal heat. In the past, if someone at home had a serious fever or caught a cold, the old man would always brew a bowl of hot kudzu powder, stir it evenly and give it to the patient. The effect was very good. Nowadays in the south, kudzu root has become a delicacy on the dining table. Cut the kudzu root into pieces and then stew it with pork bones. It is said to have the effect of beautifying the skin.

In the market, kudzu root powder is also a product circulating in the market, but unprocessed kudzu root is a primary agricultural product and can generally only be seen in vegetable markets. Nowadays, due to the lack of wild kudzu resources in our country, kudzu cultivation has gradually developed. Take Teng County, the hometown of kudzu, as an example. Last year, kudzu planting reached 80,000 acres, and the annual output reached 200,000 tons. This shows the scale of the industry. Very big.
