When we were in primary school, the Chinese teacher gave us a few castor seeds and asked us to go back to plant them. We had forgotten what to do with them. Anyway, we all took them back and planted them. Later, we survived and grew into a tree rooted on the edge of our hometown yard. Think about it over the years, that castor tree has at least produced more than 1000 fruits. Later, we found that it was extremely toxic. One gram could kill at least 400 adults.

At that time, castor grew more than one person tall, it can be said to be castor tree, its fruit is called castor bean, castor bean contains a high content of phallotoxin, the toxin is easy to damage liver, kidney and other organs, a small amount of intake will quickly cause systemic paralysis, known as one of the top ten poisons.

In fact, the role of castor is still very big, otherwise how can there be a large area of planting?

1. Leaves and roots of castor:

The leaves and roots of castor can be used as medicine, its leaves have the effect of reducing swelling and itching, can treat sores and ulcers, and roots have the effects of dispelling wind and promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and sedation, and can be used for rheumatic joint pain, tetanus, epilepsy and other diseases.

2. The seeds of castor:

Castor seed can extract oil, its oil content is up to 50% and its viscosity is high and freezing point is low. It can withstand cold and high temperature. It is not frozen at-8 ℃ and does not solidify at 500-600 ℃. It is an important industrial oil, such as chemical industry, metallurgy, mechanical and electrical, textile and other industries.

Therefore, planting castor will also bring rich economic income, now the demand for castor oil is large, you can choose sparsely populated rural areas, this is also a better project.
