What is a tribute?

Fresh tributes are bright green and relatively slender in shape. It's panicum miliaceum, a green leafy vegetable. Gongcai is bright green in color, fresh in texture and as delicious as jellyfish. It is a green leafy vegetable, which is made by peeling, splitting and drying the stems in autumn. In Suining county, Chinese milk vetch has been planted for more than 2000 years, and it is a precious vegetable in the north temperate zone, belonging to Compositae, Lettuce and Panicum.

Tributes prefer cold to heat, and the growth temperature is 15 ~ 20℃. In Binchuan County, the temperature is high in autumn, so Zeng Ziyuan should be chosen as the prince of Bozhou. This variety has high temperature resistance, high purity, neat plant height, good growth potential, white flesh, tender and soft meat, late bolting time and good yield.

Harvesting and processing

In order to ensure the quality of tributes, it is necessary to harvest them in time. Premature harvest affects yield; If the harvest is too late, it is easy to form cavities, increase crude fiber and decrease quality. The best harvest time is when the outer leaves of tribute plants are flush with the heart leaves. Because there are some differences in the maturity of individuals in the field, they should be harvested in batches and carried out in batches.

Choose sunny and breezy weather, remove the leaves and roots from the harvested fresh vegetables, cut the base into a cone shape, peel off the skin, cut off the hollow and white core parts, cut 2 ~ 4 knives longitudinally, cut into roughly uniform slender strips (with 1 ~ 2 cm left at the base), hang them on the north-south hanging rope, and air them for 2 ~ 3 days (long-term exposure to the hot sun will affect them)
