The name of walnut industry
But what we want to recommend is not the well-known walnut kernel, but another ingredient, specifically called "underground walnut kernel". Perhaps we seldom hear the name of this crop. Its real name is "Cyperus esculentus", and there are other names, such as organic sedge, tiger nut, tanggen fruit, underground chestnut, underground walnut kernel and so on. This is a food crop from Africa and the Mediterranean coast, which has been in China for two years.
Cyperus esculentus is a high-quality food crop. Because it can produce very high-quality oil, with high yield and high development and utilization price, it has been recognized as one of the candidate varieties of major food crops by the Microbial Life Support System (BLSS). The role of Cyperus esculentus in Africa and Mediterranean coastal areas is to give local people edible oil.
After all, it is edible oil that everyone can eat. What nutrients does Cyperus esculentus have? Through scientific research, we found that the nutritional components of Cyperus esculentus are higher than those of peanut kernel, white sesame and other food crops that can produce edible oil, including high-quality fat, cassava starch, sugar, protein, fiber, vitamins and various minerals needed by human body.
At the same time, Cyperus esculentus soybean oil is a non-grease ester, which has a very good antioxidant effect, far exceeding the common soybean oil, edible oil and peanut oil in China. Cyperus esculentus is called "the first fuel" by scientific experts because of its high productivity and high cost performance. It is suitable for all ages and plays a positive role in promoting the healthy growth and development of human body.
Cyperus esculentus is not only an excellent vegetable oil distributed to people for drinking, but also can be used to raise livestock. When all the oil stains on Cyperus esculentus are squeezed out, the remaining sediment can be used to feed domestic livestock such as pigs, cows, rabbits, ducks, etc., without consumption at all, and a lot of concentrated feed costs can be saved.
Of course, Cyperus esculentus is such a good soybean that it can produce high-protein vegetable oil with high efficiency. Why don't farmers in China want to plant them? Some people may ask, is it because the cultivation conditions of Cyperus esculentus are relatively strict, and the newly reclaimed land in China is not suitable for planting Cyperus esculentus? Actually, it's not. Cyperus esculenta, as an annual plant of Cyperaceae, has strong adaptability and can be planted in most parts of China. What really affects the cultivation of Cyperus esculentus in China depends on the following three points.
First of all, Cyperus esculentus is an exotic species. Without scientific research and expert teams, farmers would hardly grow this food crop. After all, farmers have a piece of land resources handed down from ancient times, and they have confidence and experience in their own food crops. If they really want farmers to replace food crops, farmers may not accept it.
Second, there is little demand for Cyperus esculentus. China is rich in natural products, and there is no shortage of oil raw materials and concentrated feed for livestock. Although the output of Cyperus esculentus is very high, everyone has mastered the amount of blended oil, so in terms of oil production, we have not encountered the problem of low oil for the time being, so naturally we will not put Cyperus esculentus on the itinerary.
Third, the publicity of Cyperus esculentus is not enough. In fact, many people don't know the emergence of Cyperus esculentus, let alone farmers, so few people grow Cyperus esculentus. However, in some areas of Heilongjiang, Beijing and Hebei, there are indeed records of planting Cyperus esculentus.
