When it comes to corn season, if you see this kind of corn, you can make money. It's a rarity that is hard to buy.

Now it is July, and summer has come. For people, there are several necessary things in summer, that is, air conditioning, watermelon and mosquito-repellent incense. However, for farmers in rural areas, the corn harvest season will come in a few days, and the quality of the corn harvest is also a matter of concern to many farmers. After all, these are household belongings. During the corn harvest, what farmers fear most is natural disasters and diseases and insect pests.

In the past few days, when I was breaking corn in the cornfield of my third uncle's house, I found that diseases and insect pests actually grew something similar to "black mushroom" on the corn. It looked like the corn was moldy and looked a little disgusting. I was going to break it and throw it away, but the third uncle stopped it.

After the explanation of the third uncle, the author learned that the thing that grows on corn is called "Wumi" and is also called "rice bean" in the north. Rice bean is actually a smut disease of sorghum, millet and corn during booting. After invading the tissues of sorghum, millet and corn, it becomes like this. It looks like mildew, but it is actually a kind of fungus. It is indeed a rare delicacy.

Sorghum, millet rice beans can be eaten when young, corn rice beans can also be eaten, its taste is particularly delicious.

It is said that this corn and rice bean is also a famous delicacy in Mexico, because it tastes like "truffle", is also called "corn black truffle" by locals, and is specially cultivated by Mexican farmers. In the United States, this rice bean is also included in the list of edible fungi and is regarded as a delicacy.

According to records, in fact, the nutritional value of corn and rice beans is quite high, its ugly "mold" is rich in protein, minerals and amino acids, including eight essential amino acids, and potassium, iron and selenium are also rich.

However, this rice bean has not been popularized in our country, and there are two main reasons: first, this smut does great harm to crops such as sorghum, millet and corn, which will reduce crop yields and affect the harvest; second, it is ugly in appearance. A lot of people can't accept it.

The third uncle said that in fact, in the 1960s and 1970s, fresh and tender rice beans were a delicacy in the eyes of many people. at that time, both adults and children would find time to walk around the sorghum field or cornfield in the hot summer, and they would return with a full load every time.

Nowadays, however, the younger generation basically does not know what these rice and rice beans are, and nowadays people like to buy and sell corn, which makes this kind of "moldy" corn rare. So if you see this kind of "moldy" corn in the cornfield, you can make a profit. It is a rare thing that even rich people seldom sell.

As for how to eat, just stir-fry to eat, make sure that after you have eaten, you still want to eat!
