Buying skills

1. Large carrots are red-skinned and white-hearted radishes.

There are many people who mistakenly think that carrots are carrots. Carrots are red-skinned and white-hearted, and belong to the "Cruciferous" plant; while carrots have orange-yellow skins and orange-yellow hearts, belonging to the "Umbelliferae" plant. For example, cats and tigers are both "feline" animals, dogs and wolves are both "canine" animals, and there is no genetic relationship between "feline" and "canine" animals. The same is true for carrots and carrots. There are fundamental genetic differences between the two, and there are many differences in medicinal effects. Don't confuse them!

2. For the same variety of radishes, choose the smaller ones.

Radish is a vegetable with good "medicine and food homology" effect. According to nutritional analysis, many unique elements in radish come from seeds, such as "rapin". No matter how big the radish grows, its content is equal. And after the radish grows to a certain size, the number of its cells has been fixed, and in the subsequent growth process, it is only the process of cell expansion. At this time, the dry matter increases slowly, and the water increases rapidly. The main difference between large radishes and small radishes of the same variety is the difference in their moisture content, that is, the water content of large radishes is much more than that of small radishes, but the dry matter content is similar. That is to say, to get the same dry matter nutrition, eating a small radish is much easier than eating a large radish. For many people who want to use radish to treat diseases, eating a 2 kg radish every day is a heavy burden. burden, and almost impossible. Eating 2 to 4 radishes with a weight of about 150 grams is indeed an extremely easy thing, and it is also a good way to effectively achieve the therapeutic effect.

3. Among the many varieties of radish, the varieties with less water are selected for their high nutritional value.

Varieties with less moisture have more dry matter content in radishes. However, this is not a concept with bran radish. Brass heart radish is a manifestation of a large consumption of water and nutrients, and its nutritional value and flavor quality will be greatly reduced.

4. From the perspective of origin, the Northeast carrot is the first choice.

Northeast China is the main producing area of radish in my country. It has very suitable soil and climatic conditions for its growth. At the same time, there are many excellent varieties, and the scientific research and breeding level is in the leading position in the world. Northeast big carrot has its unique nutritional value and medicinal value due to factors such as climate and variety.

5. It is best to choose female carrots.

At present, the large carrots on the market are divided into two types: female and hermaphrodite (common radish) and pure female plants. Female and hermaphrodite radishes are easy to cause self-crossing, and the resulting radishes will have a large number of close relatives, which is different from animals. In the same way, inbreeding is prone to problems such as distortion and degeneration. The radish of the female plant is the product of pure hybridization, which does not have the above problems, and it is superior to the radish of the female and hermaphrodite in terms of appearance and nutritional content.

Nutritional analysis has proved that the nutritional value of female large carrots is far greater than that of female and hermaphroditic radishes. Chinese medicine experts have also verified that it has a very special medicinal value, and has a certain therapeutic effect on intractable diseases such as cancer, asthma, gout, and diabetes. It is precisely because the female radish itself has more abundant nutrients and strong disease resistance genes, and regular consumption will help improve the body's disease resistance and immunity.

6. How to distinguish female carrots from ordinary carrots?

Large female carrots: uniform in size, round, red and pink, smooth and beautiful skin, small top, small fine roots, few fibrous roots, no cracked top, etc.;

Ordinary large carrots: uneven size, shape, rough skin, lack of luster, large top, thick roots, many fibrous roots, cracks on the top, etc.
