Ji'nan Market
"peel a layer of garlic skin, then peel one layer or garlic skin. How does this garlic have no garlic cloves?" At the moment, when new garlic comes into season, some people in Ji'nan have bought garlic bread without garlic cloves in the market.
Mr. Zhang is 75 years old this year. He usually likes to go outside and buy some dishes. On the afternoon of 2, he came to the seven Liebao wholesale market, and found a lot of traders selling new garlic. They bought a few garlic for 4 yuan, "1 pieces 4 jins, pick up big pick up." I was surprised when I went home to eat. "Look at the good garlic, but after peeling it is a layer of garlic peeling. What kind of garlic is this? " Mr. Zhang said that he had never seen such strange garlic so long that he could not eat it.
in Mr. Zhang's house, the reporter saw the garlic that Mr. Zhang bought, these garlic without garlic, the appearance looks like the ordinary garlic, there are no two kinds of garlic.
"new garlic, 1 yuan 7 Jin, do you want it?" At noon on the 3 day, on the southern side of the fruit trading area of the Seven Mile Fort wholesale wholesale market, several vendors were selling garlic like Mr. Zhang said. Then the reporter bought some garlic as a customer, but after he peeled it, he could not find the garlic clove, which was exactly the same as the garlic bought by Mr. Zhang. "This is called bread and garlic. It can't be eaten at all. Now the old garlic is four or five yuan a Jin, the new garlic is at least 2 yuan above. " A garlic merchant told reporters at the door of the market. Then the reporter turned around to find the dealer who sold garlic.
"you won't pick this garlic." I'll change it for you. " Faced with the question of reporters, the peddler has been "pretending", and picked up a few small points of garlic from the stall, and changed the garlic without garlic to the reporter. The reporter noticed that the seller sold garlic and garlic together, and sold garlic and garlic garlic, which was hard to find. "No garlic, huh." When the reporter left the normal garlic, the peddler was still mumbling and joking with his fellow colleagues.
the reporter then reflected the problem to the staff of the third floor office on the east side of the Seven Mile comprehensive wholesale market as a customer. "This is not a food safety issue. We don't care about normal business. This kind of garlic can also be eaten. " Several staff responded.
experts analyze "bread garlic"
"individual farmers use too much nitrogen fertilizer and too little potash." Professor Liu Shiqi of the College of Horticulture of Shandong Agricultural University told reporters that "bread and garlic" is also called "onion garlic". After the harvest of garlic, the scaly scales of a number of layers in the bud are dehydrated. The whole bulb is very soft when it is pinched with hand, so it is named "bread garlic". The root cause of "bread garlic" is improper fertilization and lack of potash fertilizer, which causes garlic bud differentiation to be abnormal and fails to expand into garlic.
but Liu Shiqi also said that the occurrence of bread and garlic is only an individual phenomenon. Fresh bread and garlic can be eaten. There is no need for the public to panic.
[color=#FF0000] so how can we distinguish garlic from bread? The "bread and garlic" can be identified by "kneading, weighing and peeling". When it is pinched, it feels soft, weighs some light, and still can not see the garlic flap after one or two layers. It should be paid attention to. [/color]
