French black truffle, Russian caviar, Spanish ham, what are the top ingredients in China?

Eight treasures: beaver lip, hump, Hericium erinaceus, bear's paw, bird's nest, wax cake, deer tendon and jiaozi with yellow lips.

Eight treasures: shark's fin, tremella, shad, tripe, civet, hash, fish lips and skirt.

The next eight treasures: sea cucumber, Gracilaria lemaneiformis, Tricholoma giganteum, Sichuan bamboo shoots, red phosphorus fish, scallops, oyster yolk and mullet eggs.

There are so many foreign ingredients, but the domestic ingredients can't be said, which is too uncomfortable. Here I will talk about several top domestic ingredients, each of which is extremely rare and each of which is extremely expensive. I can only afford mine at home.

1, Yangtze saury

It's not ugly by name. It is a kind of fish in the Yangtze River.

As the saying goes, people living near the Yangtze River used to make a living by fishing, but now it's different. Eating a Yangtze fish is a luxury, and eating a Yangtze swordfish is even more luxurious.

Yangtze river saury, flat and long, looks like a white knife from a distance, hence the name. Once upon a time, there were a lot of swordfish in the Yangtze River, and the price was not high. However, as time passed, the environment of the Yangtze River was damaged to a certain extent, or the number of swordfish in the Yangtze River decreased sharply due to overfishing and other reasons.

As the saying goes, things are scarce, and Yangtze saury has the characteristics of delicious meat and rich nutrition, so the price is very high. Often a knife fish costs more than 1000 yuan.

2. Tibetan fragrant pig

Tibetan pigs live on the plateau of 3000-4000 meters, graze freely, eat all natural plants and fruits, drink all mountain spring water and don't eat feed at all, so they are not big, and they don't exceed 100 kg in adulthood, and they are relatively primitive and thin.

Tibetan fragrant pig, also known as "ginseng pig", has extremely high nutritional value. In terms of quality, Tibetan fragrant pigs have six best qualities, namely, the highest amino acid content, the highest trace element content, the lowest fat content, the longest pig intestine, the thinnest pig skin and the longest mane.

In pork, Tibetan fragrant pig is definitely a symbol of quality. It is famous for its tender meat, unique flavor and rich nutrition. It is an authentic pure natural food, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the top food in China.

3, butter crab

In "Human Flavor", the butter crab was named as "the king of crabs", and a small one can be sold at a high price of 2,000 yuan.

Speaking of crabs, some people may think of foreign king crabs or Japanese pine leaf crabs. In fact, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in China are also good. It can be said that crabs are the best, of course, butter crabs.

Butter crab is not a crab variety, but evolved from blue crab, which is out of control and the probability of evolution is very low. Even 1000 blue crabs may not be able to evolve five butter crabs. The number is extremely rare, so the price is very expensive, which always makes people sigh that "a spoonful of butter is worth 1000 yuan".

4. Saffron

Crocus sativus, also known as crocus sativus, is not only used as medicine, but also as a spice, and it is also a valuable food. Not only oriental dishes, but also Arabic dishes, Indian dishes, French dishes, Spanish dishes and other countries like to use saffron to color and flavor.

The price of saffron is very high. A gram of ordinary saffron costs about 100 yuan, and a catty costs 50,000 yuan. It's hard to imagine that the seasoning of a dish is so expensive, how can the whole dish be worth it?

5. Yellow-lipped fish

Yellow-lipped fish belong to the family Sciaenidae, and generally live in water with a water depth of 50-60 meters at the intersection of seawater and fresh water. It is a carnivore itself. It ate shrimp when it was a child and began to eat small fish when it grew up. It can even eat crabs and shelled creatures, which is very fierce.

Because it can be eaten, yellow-lipped fish is very big. After growing up, it is about 100- 150 cm and weighs about 30 kg. The largest yellow-lipped fish can grow to 180 cm and weigh more than 200 kilograms. It is a real giant.

In 2007, a fisherman in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province caught a yellow-lipped fish weighing 49 kg, which was bought by a hotel at a high price of 590,000 yuan, and then made into a dish worth millions.

In 20 12, a fisherman in Lianjiang county, Fujian province was even luckier. He caught a yellow croaker about 80 kg and sold it for a high price of 20 thousand yuan a kg, which is amazing!

Write it at the end

Now people's living conditions are getting better and better, and they also have higher requirements for diet. They began to eat better ingredients and liked the top foreign ingredients, thinking that eating foreign ingredients would be tasteful. In fact, China's top ingredients don't need foreign differences at all.

What other top ingredients do you know? Are there any good ingredients in your hometown? Share it!

French have black truffles, and so do China and Tibet. Russian has caviar, and so does Heilongjiang in China. Spanish ham, China also has Zhejiang Jinhua ham. There are Cordyceps sinensis and Saussurea involucrata in China. These are nothing! Only radish and cabbage can keep safe!

Luxury goods in China can't be measured by money at all.

The top ingredients in our country are no worse than those abroad. Today, I'm going to introduce six precious ingredients in China. A bite is happiness, because some are protected because they are expensive and scarce. Even if you have money, most people can't buy it if they want to eat.

The first kind: Jingjiang saury, the first fresh in the Yangtze River.

Yangtze saury is one of the typical migratory fish. During the breeding season, it will swim from the sea to the Yangtze River, swim upstream to lay eggs, and then swim back to the sea. The young Yangtze saury will stay in the Yangtze River to fatten up and swim back to the sea next year. Around April, the Yangtze swordfish will stay near the mouth of the Yangtze River. Because of the delicious meat of Yangtze River swordfish, fishermen catch it in large quantities, which leads to the soaring price of Yangtze River swordfish and the gradual scarcity of its quantity. Money is hard to buy, and everyone needs to make a reservation. Once a 325-gram Yangtze saury was auctioned for a high price of 59,000 yuan.

The second kind: Yunnan Tricholoma matsutake

Yunnan Tricholoma matsutake, known as "the most expensive among fungi", has a strong aroma and is a rare and precious natural medicinal fungus in the world. At present, it cannot be cultivated artificially. Tricholoma matsutake has a high nutritional value, and its growth cycle takes at least five years to mature. Mature Tricholoma matsutake must be eaten in time, otherwise the nutrition and taste will be greatly reduced. Tricholoma matsutake also has medicinal value. It contains three precious active substances. Ok, the current price of Tricholoma matsutake is about one kilogram in 600 yuan.

The third kind: the king of crabs, the butter crab

Butter crab is produced in Fuyong, Shenzhen. Because its predecessor is blue crab, its appearance is basically the same. The difference is that yellow grease can be seen at the joints of butter crabs. After smoking, it is full of rich crab paste, and its taste is smooth as quicksand. It is extremely strict with the weather and sea area. Generally, only in June and August, only three thousandths of female blue crabs may become butter crabs, so its price is extremely expensive. Butter crabs can only sell for 2000 yuan each, which is more expensive than king crabs.

The fourth type: Ganba.

Ganba is one of the most fragrant wild fungi, which originated in Dashan, Yunnan Province and only appeared in the rainy season in July and August. Auricularia auricula has rich fragrance, tough meat and endless aftertaste. It is necessary to fry green peppers with it. In addition, it is rich in vitamins and protein, with rich nutrition and unique flavor. At present, ganba has not been cultivated artificially, and the price of good ganba is about 0/000 per kilogram/kloc.

Fifth species: yellow-lipped fish

Yellow-lipped fish is called "Huang Jinyu". It is said that one can sell 3 million, and the float is as expensive as gold. Yellow-lipped fish is a carnivorous fish, mainly eat small fish shrimp. It is a unique fish species in China, which is very rare. It has been listed as prohibited fish farming, so it has basically disappeared from the market.

The sixth kind: Tibetan fragrant pig

China is a big consumer of pork, and there are many kinds of pigs. As the "best of pigs", Tibetan fragrant pigs feed on natural plants and fruits, so the meat is fat but not greasy, and the taste is extremely fresh and tender. As a unique variety resource in Tibet, its cooking methods have also been listed in the intangible cultural protection list.

In fact, China, with its vast territory and rich natural resources, has many top ingredients, which is just the tip of the iceberg. However, with the development of society, human beings continue to kill and plunder, resulting in increasingly scarce resources. Many top ingredients in China are listed as endangered species, and killing is prohibited. Only when we all love to protect the environment and jointly protect endangered animals and plants can we leave this wealth to our next generation.

Speaking of eating, I feel refreshed.

Which city in China doesn't have top food? ...

Speaking of top ingredients.

It is also the sweet potato of Liangshan.

That's really comfortable!

How can people who haven't eaten know [laughter]

Black truffles are Smilax glabra, which are all blown out.
