map for the market on the Toon. (reporter Liu Youjie Intern Zhang Cheng photo) April 20th is the Grain Rain throttle, green toon is listed before and after the rain, at this time the fragrant and refreshing nutrition value of Chinese toon is high, so there is "tender like toon before the rain". When people bought Toona sinensis, they found that the ailanthus, which was similar to Toona sinensis, could not be eaten in the vegetable market. Reporter survey found that at present, Toona sinensis is listed on a large scale, people should keep their eyes open and avoid being fooled when buying.
the people reflected that the ailanthus indistinguishable in the Chinese toon was difficult to distinguish in April 15th. When Ms. Wang went home from work to pass the vegetable market in the west mouth of Nan Xin Zhuang, she saw a peddler pushing the tricycle to sell the buds of the Toon. "I haven't eaten Toona for a long time. I want to buy some fried eggs to go home." Ms. Wang said the Toona bud was 22 yuan per kilogram. She picked it up and sniffed it. To her suspicions, Toona buds were strapped up and could not be opened to see the inside. The vegetable traders explained this to facilitate transportation and sale.
finally, Ms. Wang spent 11 yuan on 0.5 kilograms of Toona sinensis buds. When she came home, she found that there were several different features in the bud of Toona sinensis. After a rush of water, madam Wang, there was a strong smell. "We felt that we had been fooled. Inside these are Ailanthus buds, which can not be eaten." Ms. Wang immediately took the Toona bud and went to the vegetable vendor. "The vegetable vendor did not acknowledge the bill at the beginning and said there would be no problem." On the spot, the vegetable dealer put the Toona sinensis in question in her mouth, and she vomited without chewing two. I have to admit that I did not see clearly that the buds of Ailanthus buds were tied together as the shoots of Toona sinensis. "Ailanthus and Toona sinensis are not on a tree. Why are they wrongly tied together? It must be added to the Toona sinensis in order to increase the weight. If you don't find it carefully, you may cook it together. " Ms. Wang said.
a reporter visited a large number of Chinese toon buds to sell fire on April 22nd morning. Whether it was in the North Street of Nan Xin Zhuang, the eight district vegetable market in Wang Guanzhuang, or some small streets and alley in the railway dormitory of the people's livelihood, the vendors were seen everywhere. In a vegetable market on the North Street of Nan Xin Zhuang, a peddler filled the sale of Toona sinensis with a woven bag to attract many people. According to the traders, 1 kilos of Toona sinensis sold 16 yuan.
one of the people who bought vegetables said that the price of toon is not cheap, but in order to taste some fresh, more money is worth more, but sometimes it is worried about whether the Toona sinensis is adulterated with ailanthus. Besides, in some small restaurants such as Shun Geng road and Yu Han Road, the reporter noticed that Toona sinensis was on the menu. According to the boss of a small restaurant, toasted fried eggs and fried Toona sinensis are popular among consumers.
open eyes to distinguish Toona sinensis and Ailanthus have the knack. The simplest way to tell is to smell. The reporter then contacted an expert from the Municipal Bureau of parks and woods. "The Toon and the ailanthus are really very distinguished!" The experts say that Ailanthus and Toona sinensis are not plants at all. Toona sinensis is the family Melia, and Ailanthus is bitter wood. "In fact, the simplest way to distinguish Toona sinensis is to sniff with your nose!" The expert said that Toona sinensis has a strong aroma, and the smell of Ailanthus is somewhat odorless, and there is a big difference between Toona sinensis and ailanthus. "The number of leaves per leaf of Toona sinensis is even, and the ailanthus is singular." According to the literature of Chinese medicine, Ailanthus has small toxicity and is used only for decocting the decoction. Although eating Ailanthus is not serious, it is best not to eat it.
related links before eating Toona sinensis best blanched toon delicious, but the Toona sinensis contains nitrate and nitrite, after mid April, the nitrate content in Toona buds increase, nitrite content is still low. Therefore, if we eat fresh Toona buds, it will not cause nitrite poisoning. However, after storage, a large amount of nitrate will be converted into nitrite at room temperature. Then, how can we eat safe and nutritious Toona? First, choosing the most tender of Chinese toon bud, the nitrate content in the early stage of the toon bud is low. With the growing of the Toon buds, the content of nitrate is also rising.
Second, choose the freshest toon buds. In the process of storage at the room temperature, a large amount of nitrate will be converted into nitrite in the process of storage at room temperature, which brings safety hidden danger. The Toon buds purchased from the market have been transported, the content of nitrite will increase greatly, so the freshest toon should be chosen.
Third, blanching nitrate and nitrite. The toon bud in the boiling water blanch for about 1 minutes, can remove more than 2/3 nitrite and nitrate, and can also better preserve the green of Chinese toon, whether it is cold, stir fry or Toona sinensis, it may be blanched first, can greatly improve the safety of Chinese toon.
