According to CCTV news, since the beginning of this year, continuous rainfall has affected pepper planting in some areas, and the national pepper production has declined. In July and August, the price of pepper in some areas increased greatly. Recently, the weather has turned fine, local peppers have been listed one after another, and prices have generally fallen. Changsha Haijixing Market is the largest vegetable distribution center in China.

Among them, Hunan is a big province of pepper consumption, and the annual per capita consumption of pepper is about 100 kg. Hunan won the best spicy food list in China! Hunan's best spicy food ranks first, Guizhou second, Sichuan and Chongqing third, and Hubei fifth. That is to say, spicy food is duck neck, and Fujian is due to? Eating spicy food is the most exclusive? Bottom. Why do Hunan people like spicy food so much? Personally, I think there are mainly these reasons:

First of all, Hunan is located in the southeast hinterland of China, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The climate is humid, and people here need to eat peppers to get rid of dampness and sweat. It is understood that difficulty in perspiration can easily lead to internal fire in the human body. Eating Chili is said to have the effect of removing fire.

Secondly, Hunan produces more peppers because its geographical environment is more suitable for the growth of peppers. Among them,

Huangxing Town, Changsha County, Hunan Province, is one of the planting bases of local characteristic varieties of wide-skinned pepper. Moreover, it is understood that at present, specialty varieties such as Xiangyin Zhangshu Port Pepper and Hengdong Sanzhang Huanggong Pepper all have their purification, breeding and seed production bases here. Among them, Zhangshu Port Pepper can be sold to 200 yuan per catty during the peak period, and it is also around 90 yuan at ordinary times. In addition, Hunan people's eating of peppers is related to their traditional customs.

According to legend, a long time ago, a plague suddenly spread in Jingchu, and ten families were empty. A merciful fairy passed by. She spread red fruits and taught people to cook, so the plague was eliminated and the people lived and worked in peace again. Later, people called this life-saving red fruit pepper. Moreover, according to historical records,

In the south of China, after Zhejiang, Hunan recorded a large number of peppers. In the 23rd year of Kangxi, Baoqing Prefecture Records and Shaoyang County Records were called? Sea pepper? Is this the earliest pepper in China? Sea pepper? Record. Therefore, the tradition of Hunan people eating peppers has a long history. And they have developed the habit of not being spicy and unhappy since childhood.

In addition, people in Hunan eat rice all year round. Eating Chili can stimulate saliva secretion, stimulate appetite and increase appetite. So naturally, it's all hot and unhappy. And recently, due to the high temperature, the price of pepper has been reduced, so it is not so strange that Hunan consumes 100 kg of pepper per capita.
