Why do black sesame seeds need to be steamed and dried nine times?

I guess everyone has heard of nine steaming and nine drying.

It is impossible for qualified Nine Steamed Nine Tanned Sesame Pills to have obvious white hearts. During the nine steaming and drying processes, the pigment in the black sesame skin will gradually penetrate into the black sesame core, and the black sesame core will appear black-gray or black-brown, and the oil will also seep out with the number of steaming, so the sesame balls will be particularly black, bright, oily and shiny.

Another function of nine steaming and nine drying is to promote the ripening of sesame seeds, so that the human body is easy to absorb, in addition: the black sesame pills that have really been steamed and dried nine times are definitely not as good as the taste of directly eating cooked black sesame particles, which is the characteristic of nine times of steaming and drying; On the contrary, if there is only one steaming, or simply not steaming, and the so-called nine steamed and nine dried black sesame balls, the taste must be as good as eating cooked black sesame particles, but the effect of black sesame after nine steaming and nine drying is the best.

The unqualified ones are either not steamed and dried at all, or they are not steamed thoroughly, they are not made by natural sunlight, and so on.

Because black sesame balls can only be made by hand.

It cannot be produced in the factory, and the nine times of steaming and drying need to be done on sunny days with good sun, and cloudy days.

No, it doesn't rain or fog, and it can't be all good weather in a month, so in general, it takes at least about a month to make a batch of nine steamed and nine tanned sesame pills in accordance with the ancient method, which is time-consuming and laborious.

The standard of nine steamed and nine tanned sesame balls: it must be steamed and dried nine times, and it can not be less than once, the raw materials must be more authentic, the ancient method of concocting black sesame balls must be full of special non-dyed single-shell oil hemp black sesame seeds, if the raw material itself is not good, how can you expect it to play an effective role

Because this is the method that has been handed down, if you do this, the black sesame seeds will be very fragrant, otherwise they will not taste fragrant.

It's all said by the seller, just grind and wash it and fry it in a pot or steam it.

Material: Sesame seeds (non-aged!) I choose the sesame seeds that are kept by local old farmers and planted naturally)...

Preparatory work: Dust and deflated debris, and preliminary pick-up of impurities.

The first steaming and drying: wash with water for about 5 minutes (too much time, I am afraid of removing the vitality of sesame seeds) - steam for 1 hour--- dry thoroughly in the sun (must be full of sunshine, a day of sunshine, otherwise it will be rancid or moldy), stir repeatedly when drying.

Steaming for the 2nd to 8th time, steaming for 1 hour--- Dry thoroughly in the sun (be sure to have enough sunshine and dry thoroughly) Steaming and drying for the 9th time: Repeat the first step.

Then remove the shells that are naturally removed during the steaming process, and finely pick out the impurities one by one until they are completely clean.

Finally, stir-fried, vacuum packed (easy to store for a long time, crushed for a shorter storage time)...

The above is the whole process of making nine steamed and nine dried sesame seeds (three years of production experience summary, for reference)...

Repeat three or four steps nine times).

Step 5: Fry the sesame seeds.

After the sesame seeds are exposed to the sun for the last time, pour them into a dry pot and stir-fry over medium heat, stirring all the time, and stir-fry until the fragrance is brought out.
