They can actually make tofu out of leaves, green tofu, have you ever eaten it?

You're talking about fairy tofu.

First of all, the "fairy leaves" are picked from the mountain, and the leaves look like the mulberry leaves we usually see, green and green, with a strong fragrance. This kind of fairy tree is mostly in the southern region of our country, and it is found on the mountains of Huaihua, Xinhua and Shaoyang.

Then pour the picked fairy leaves into the pot for cleaning, pour boiling water to soak it, the leaves are soft, and then knead vigorously and repeatedly, and when the clear green juice is getting thicker and thicker, filter the juice with gauze.

The next most critical step is to point the halogen. This brine is a bit special, it must be found in the countryside, that is, plant ash or firewood ash, stirred and filtered with water, which becomes brine. After stirring the ash, the brine is also filtered out, and then the brine is slowly poured into the juice, and the amount and speed of addition are judged by experience and feel.

But remind everyone that if there is too much alkaline water, the tofu will be old and have a rough taste. Too little, the tofu is too tender and difficult to form.

<> let it sit for about half an hour, the green juice slowly thickens, becomes sticky, and takes shape. The green paddle is condensed into fat and crispy, and the green jelly is cut into nephrite. It's so appropriate to describe this tofu.

Put the tofu on the porcelain plate, green and moist, crystal clear, when eating can be with personal taste or mixed with salt, vinegar, garlic, homemade oil and spicy and other condiments, you can also add honey, juice, vinegar, etc., there are no taboos.

This tofu tastes like a faint fragrance, mixed with the freshness of a little leaves, a little more Q than tofu, refreshing and cool, and indeed has a unique taste!

It has been on the market for many years.

There is a magical special snack in the Ankang countryside of southern Shaanxi, which is shaped like tofu, tastes like jelly, and the most amazing thing is that the raw material for its production is actually an ordinary-looking green leaf. I heard that in the process of making this green tofu, plant ash and toothpaste water are added, friend, do you dare to eat it?

In summer, the old people in the countryside like to go to the mountains to pick this kind of leaves and come back to make green tofu, which not only has a smooth taste, but also has the effect of cooling and relieving the heat. It is said that this tofu tree has been lit by the gods, so the locals also call it the "fairy tree", and the tofu made from this leaf is called "fairy tofu".

Scientific research has found that the nutrients in tofu leaves are extremely rich, it contains 18 kinds of amino acids and a variety of mineral elements, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, total sugar and ash content are and, pectin content is high, no wonder adding a little plant ash and toothpaste water can condense it!

Xiao Er researched and found that this tofu tree is simply a treasure in the mountains, and it has high economic value. First, it can be used to make green tofu, a special snack for health; Second, it can be used to extract pectin, you must know that at present, China's pectin production is not self-sufficient, and a considerable part of it still relies on imports, and the tofu tree is rich in resources, high pectin content, and is a pectin extraction raw material with broad development prospects. Such an amazing tofu tree is also easy to cultivate and manage, and can thrive even in barren mountainous areas.

At present, there is no large-scale artificial planting of tofu trees, and the future market space is still very large. (Ankang Han Water Agricultural Development ****).

In many places in Anhui, every year when the weather is hot, people will go up the mountain to pick the leaves of the "Guanyin Chai" tree, and then extract the beneficial ingredients in it to make "tofu". Eating it can not only relieve the heat and fire, but also prevent and treat hepatitis, lung fever and other diseases.

In many areas south of the Yangtze River basin in China, there is a kind of tree called "Guanyin firewood", which has strong growth ability, and is called "tofu firewood" and "rotten maid" by the local people, and in some places, it is also called "stinky firewood" and "stinky leaves".

The leaves of this tree are rich in pectin, the crude protein content is also very high, and it is also rich in dietary fiber, ash, chlorophyll, vitamins and trace elements, in addition, this kind of leaves contain 19 kinds of amino acids required by the human body, among them, containing 8 kinds of amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, and must be ingested from food, in addition, the content of lysine is the highest. Therefore, this kind of leaf is one of the best food sources to supplement the amino acids required by the human body, and is a rare health and nutrition product, and is also known as "forest vegetables".

So, how can leaves with such a high nutritional value be eaten?

In many places in Anhui, every summer, when the weather is hot, people will go to the mountains to pick a lot of "Guanyin firewood" leaves, and then take them home to make a cool snack - Guanyin tofu.

To say that this Guanyin tofu, there is such a legend. According to legend, a long time ago, in Qimen, Shexian and other places in Huizhou, there was a famine, and the people did not have enough food, and they could not even solve the problem of food and clothing. The compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva knew about this, so he came down to this place and taught the people to make "tofu" from this miraculous leaf, thus saving many people.

The people were grateful for the kindness of the Bodhisattva, so they called this kind of tofu "Guanyin tofu".

The story may sound bizarre and uncanny, but it is true that this snack has been around the local area for many years. Every summer, people go to the mountains to pick the leaves, then wash them in large pots with water and drain the water.

At this time, boil a pot of boiling water, put the dried leaves in it to blanch until soft, and remove them. After it is not hot to dry, put the leaves in a pot and rub them repeatedly with both hands, trying to fully knead the pectin and chlorophyll in the leaves until they become paste. Put the kneaded pulp into gauze, add a small amount of ground ash, and then scrub and filter it by hand, add an appropriate amount of water after filtering, stir it well and cover it, let it stand for more than half an hour, and slowly it will condense together, and then cut it into pieces, and you can eat it.

This kind of tofu, like a piece of turquoise jade, shakes slightly, trembles, and is like a piece of jelly, and it tastes cool and delicious. A bowl in summer can not only relieve the heat and defeat the fire, cool and detoxify, but also prevent and treat diseases such as hepatitis and lung fever after long-term consumption.

Of course, you can also pour vinegar sauce, chili oil and other seasonings on top, which is also a good way to eat.
