What is the origin of the latest black corn?

Black fish rice is a special kind of corn, unlike other corn is yellow, black corn is all black, this is mainly because black corn is rich in melanin. In addition, it also contains some plant proteins, amino acids, trace elements and other nutrients. The overall nutrients are higher than those of ordinary corn. Even the nutrient content of corn plants is higher than that of ordinary ones, so it is more suitable for animal feed. So this black corn is not common either. Where does it mainly come from? I'll introduce you right away.

1. Main producing areas

Black corn is suitable for planting in most areas, but at present it is only planted in Liaoning and Anhui in the north, Guangdong in the south, Sichuan in the southwest and Xinjiang in the northwest. Planting has been widely promoted in these areas. In other areas, a small part of the planting is scattered. Some areas are still on the road of trying to grow. So the main producing areas are now these places.

2. Planting method

Spring sowing planting, the whole growth period is about 4 months, planting about 2500 plants per mu. The planting soil is fertile and loose, and the base fertilizer is about 1000 jin per mu. Special isolation is needed to avoid receiving pollen from ordinary corn and producing miscellaneous grains. The main reason is spatial isolation, keeping away from other fields, or planting at the wrong time of flowering. Mainly control corn borer, ground tiger, use carbofuran to control. If you buy packaged seeds, you can generally broadcast them directly. After the land is leveled, you can sow the seeds. It takes a long time to manage after sowing.

3. Nutritional value

Mainly lysine content is very high, high nutritional value; potassium content in trace elements is the highest, eating more black corn can stabilize mood and prevent cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. It contains more iron, so it is suitable for people with anemia. Zinc content is more suitable for children to eat, to prevent zinc deficiency, children are very easy to lack zinc. It can prevent the adverse effects of zinc deficiency, such as improving resistance and improving anemia. The main calcium and phosphorus components are suitable for children, middle-aged and elderly people with calcium deficiency. The melanin mainly can reduce cholesterol and has a health effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

4. Appearance characteristics

Before some people thought that black corn is a genetically modified food, can not use 2, it is not good to eat, but in fact black corn is only a type of corn. Or a species. It's just black because of the high melanin content. General black corn, the appearance is jet black shiny particles, but near the raw part of some is white. Some of the appearance looks dark red.

Black corn can be planted in most places, but it is widely planted in only a few places at present, but it is also being tried in some other places. In the future, the planting area will gradually expand. Total output will also increase.
