Where is the best potato in the country? After selection, these six places are all famous. Is there your hometown?

I remember hearing the name "potato" for the first time in a small restaurant. I thought it was all kinds of taro, but I didn't expect it to be a plate of potatoes. From then on, I learned that there are many names of potatoes, not only potatoes, but also potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on.

In different countries, people have different names for potatoes. For example, Americans like to call it Irish potato, French people are used to calling it local apple, and Italians like to call it local bean. No matter what its name is, it refers to the same food, which is also a grounded food all over the world, potatoes.

China is currently the country with the largest total potato production in the world, and potato producing areas are all over the country. Among the many potato producing areas in China, 6 places are known only after selection. Lazy meow will tell you today, where are the six major potato producing areas? See if there is your hometown.

Dingbian, located in the northwest of Shaanxi Province, is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. It has been called "Sanqin fortress" since ancient times. This place belongs to the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, with large land area, rich soil, abundant potassium, abundant sunshine, the same season of rain and heat, and large temperature difference between day and night, which provides good conditions for potato growth.

According to relevant historical records, as early as 400 years ago, the local people in Dingbian were already planting potatoes. The potatoes produced by Dingbian are big, oval in appearance, regular in shape, with few buds, white skin and white meat, and sweet in taste. In 2009, Dingbian potato was officially rated as a chinese national geography symbol product.

Dingxi, located in the middle of Gansu Province, is located at the intersection of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the West Qinling Mountains, and is known as the "gateway of Lanzhou and the throat of Gansu". Dingxi belongs to the plateau hilly area, with high altitude, four distinct seasons, long frost-free period and abundant sunshine, which is very suitable for planting potatoes.

Dingxi potato is not only a famous local specialty in Dingxi, Gansu, but also a landmark product in chinese national geography. I once read a joke made by Dingxi people, saying that I grew up from snack potatoes. They cooked potato porridge in the morning, potatoes at noon and potatoes at night, which left a deep impression on me at that time. Dingxi potatoes are mostly round or oval with smooth skin and delicious taste.

Keshan, belonging to Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, is located in the hinterland of Songnen Plain, one of the three black soil belts in the world. The soil is mainly chernozem, the climate is cool, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which provides a unique innate advantage for the growth of potatoes. Therefore, the local area is also called "the hometown of potato planting in China".

Speaking of northeast rice, I believe many friends must have heard of Wuchang rice. In the northeast, Keshan potato is as famous as Wuchang rice, and it is also a symbolic product of chinese national geography. Keshan potato has regular potato shape and shallow bud eyes, which can be divided into yellow skin, white skin and white meat. The potato dish made is also unique in flavor, fragrant and smooth.

Wulanchabu, located in the middle of Inner Mongolia, just north of China, Mongolian means "Red Mountain Pass", also known as "Potato Capital of China". Wulanchabu has a long winter, windy, little rain and dry climate, and has a long history of planting potatoes.

Wulanchabu potato, produced in Wulanchabu, is a symbolic product of chinese national geography and one of the "Three Treasures of Inner Mongolia" (the other two treasures are oat flour and sheepskin coat). Wulanchabu potato is big, smooth in appearance, uniform in skin color, high in starch content and smooth and waxy in taste.

Guyuan, located in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, is the only place where the northern route of the eastern section of the Silk Road passes, and it is also an important economic place in the northwest region in history. The local soil is mainly black loessial soil and Hunan loess, which contains more organic matter and less industrial pollution, so the quality of potatoes produced is also very good.

Guyuan potato is a local specialty and a symbolic product of chinese national geography. There are varieties such as white skin, yellow skin, red skin and purple skin. Guyuan potato has smooth skin, high starch content and uniform appearance. After cooking, the skin will burst open and taste delicious and smooth.

Lan County belongs to Lvliang City, Shanxi Province, with a temperate continental monsoon climate and cool weather. The local altitude is high, the terrain is complex, and the soil is mostly sandy soil, rich in trace elements, which is very similar to the climate of the Andes in South America, where potatoes originated. Chinese national geography's signature product-Lanxian potato, is produced in this land.

Potatoes in Lan County are mostly rectangular in shape, with shallow buds and few buds. The skin is light yellow and the potato meat is milky white. After cooking, the taste is soft and smooth, especially suitable for steaming, so it is fragrant.

Learn from laziness.

The six places mentioned above, Dingbian in Shaanxi, Dingxi in Gansu, Qiqihar in Heilongjiang, Wulanchabu in Inner Mongolia, Guyuan in Ningxia and Lvliang in Shanxi, are all very famous potato producing areas in China. Dingbian Potato, Dingxi Potato, Keshan Potato, Wulanchabu Potato, Guyuan Potato and Lanxian Potato are all signature products of chinese national geography, which can be said to be relatively famous potatoes after selection.
