The whole body of the locust tree is covered with precious locust flowers. we have all eaten it, but do you know what Huai mi is?

Locust trees believe that many friends are not strange, when I was a child, there were always a few locust trees planted in the rural courtyard. When I was a child, there were two locust trees in the yard of my home, elm and Chinese toon, all of which were edible trees. I thought they were relatively poor at that time. When I planted these trees in spring, I could eat some flowers and buds from the trees.

However, speaking of Huaimi, I believe many people are not very familiar with it, because everyone generally eats locust flowers. What is Huai mi? In fact, locust rice can also be said to be locust flowers, but the harvest time of the two is not quite the same. Huai mi is what it looks like when the locust flowers are not yet in bloom. And what opens completely is the locust flower.

In this way, it seems that the locust tree is not simple, it can be said that the whole body is full of treasures. I also like the leaves of the locust tree very much, especially the old locust tree looks green in the past. The leaves are also very soft. And can be used in medicine, with cool fire effect. The branches of the locust tree are also Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of dispelling blood stasis and stopping bleeding. The root of the locust tree has the function of reducing swelling and killing insects. The fruit of the locust tree, that is, the horn of the locust tree, can also be used as medicine to cool the blood and stop bleeding; it has the effect of clearing the liver and eyesight. And the locust tree is also very good wood.

The most important thing is the sophora flower. We all know that it tastes very good when steamed, and it also has a faint fragrance. Flos Sophorae is also a Chinese herbal medicine with the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, stopping bleeding and reducing blood pressure. However, I would like to remind you that we often see locust trees with red buds on the roadside. This kind of locust tree is Robinia pseudoacacia, and its locust flowers are not edible.

Then there is Huai Mi, although there are not many people who specialize in picking Huai Mi, because many people do not know about Huai Mi. Just like when I talked to my friend about this topic, he thought that locust rice should be the fruit of the locust tree. In fact, the fruit of the locust tree is the locust horn.

Natural dye

Although we are not very familiar with Huaimi, the working people in ancient China did discover the role of Huaimi a long time ago. Not to mention the aspect of eating, let's first talk about the use of locust rice. The working people in ancient China used locust rice for dyeing. Yes, Fructus Sophorae is a natural dye, and the color of it is yellow. Not only can be dyed on all kinds of cloth, but also can be dyed on wooden New year pictures. And can also make food dye.

Huai mi tea, Huai mi porridge

Then when it comes to eating, some friends who are more in good health should know better, because the effects of Sophora japonica and Sophora japonica are similar, so they are also blindly traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, anti-inflammation and sterilization. Many people often drink tea with locust rice, and there are two kinds of locust rice tea: raw and cooked. The difference between the two is that the production process is not quite the same. Locust rice is picked and dried, while ripe ones are fried.

In addition to making tea, sophora rice can also be made into sophora rice porridge with various ingredients, and can also be made into sophora rice cakes. In short, there are many ways to eat.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
