The gourd has been picked for a month and has not been treated, can it still be saved?

I don't think it's okay, because it's just too much time, so it's not very happy. Here are some inconsequential encyclopedias!!

Put a few cloves of garlic in the middle or at each end of the rice bag, or wrap some peppercorns in a cloth or paper and place them in a container for rice. Usually the jar or bucket where the rice is stored should be cleaned to prevent the pupa of the winter from hiding inside. Once the rice worms are found, the rice can be dried in a cool place to let the worms fly away or crawl out, and the rice with raw worms can be eaten after being dewormed.

Do not expose rice to the sun.

Identification methods. Rice mainly refers to early indica rice (machine rice), late indica rice, early japonica rice, late japonica rice, glutinous rice, etc.

High-quality rice, the rice grains are full, clean, shiny, the longitudinal groove is shallow, and the cross-section of the rice grains is translucent white. It smells fresh, and after steaming, the rice grains are oily, chewy, and fragrant.

Inferior rice, the rice grains are not full, thin, the longitudinal grooves are deep, dull, and the broken rice grain section remains brown or grayish-white. The moldy rice grains are mostly green, yellow, gray-brown, russet, and have poor luster, loose tissue, musty smell or other peculiar smells. It tastes light, coarse, and has little viscosity.

This is also a characteristic of aged rice.

Glutinous rice, medium indica glutinous rice is oblong-oval, and japonica glutinous rice is oval, both milky white and opaque. During cooking, the water absorption rate and swelling are minimal, and the viscosity is strong and shiny. Generally, adulterated glutinous rice mixed with other rice can be soaked in iodine wine for a while, and then washed with water, glutinous rice is purple-red, and indica or japonica rice is blue.

Millet, generally millet is bright and natural yellow, with a round luster, and when the hand is lightly pinched, the hand will not be dyed yellow. If millet has been dyed with pigments such as turmeric or floor yellow, it will be dyed yellow on the hand when you pinch it with your hands, or put a small amount of millet into a cup and add a small amount of water, shake it and let it stand, if the water turns yellow, it means that the millet has been dyed.

1) Look at the hardness: The hardness of rice grains is mainly determined by the content of protein, the stronger the hardness of rice, the higher the protein content. The higher the transparency, too. Generally, new rice is harder than old rice, rice with low moisture content is harder than rice with high moisture content, and late rice is harder than early rice.

2) Look at the belly white: There is often an opaque white spot on the abdomen of rice, which is called "heart white" in the center of the rice grain, and "outer white" in the outer abdomen. The white part of the abdomen has a lower protein content and more starch.

Generally, the moisture content is too high, and the rice that is not ripe after harvest and is not mature enough, the belly is white.

3) Look at the waist burst: The waist burst is caused by the rapid heating of rice in the drying process, and after the rapid heating phenomenon, the internal and external shrinkage of the rice grains is out of balance. When popping kidney rice is eaten, it is rotten on the outside and raw on the inside, and its nutritional value is reduced.

I think the gourd was picked off and not processed for a month. Well, such a gourd already. It's not easy to deal with, but it's still remedy after fine processing.

Steps for hoist processing:

1. Scrape off the wax: The newly picked gourd needs to be hung in a cool place first, let it dry for a few days, and then peel it. Because there is a layer of waxy substance on the surface of the gourd, they will affect the gourd pulp and coloring, so it needs to be scraped off in advance.

When peeling, it is recommended to use bamboo chips, use it to scrape from the top of the gourd to the bottom, and scrape the whole gourd in one direction.

2. Rinse and dry: After scraping the waxy gourd, it cannot be directly put into a ventilated place to dry, but should be washed in cold water with less baking soda powder first. The water must be cold, not too hot, otherwise its surface will be damaged.

After washing, hang it in a cool, breathable place and wait for it to dry.

How to turn the newly picked gourd yellowPut the newly picked gourd in a ventilated and cool place, and play with it in the sky, and it will slowly turn yellow. After a few months of drying, if you feel that this method is slow, you can move it to a place with better lighting and let it receive sunlight and turn yellow. You can also bake its surface in an oven to turn its skin yellow.

However, be sure to bake over low heat. Because if the fire is too big, it is easy to bake the gourd.

Here's how to deal with it:

1. Do not expose it to the sun, it will dry and shrink into folded skin, and it should be dried naturally in a cool, dry and ventilated environment.

2. Do not prick holes in the gourd, which will not only destroy the quality of the gourd but also produce mildew from the wound.

3. The gourd should remove the skin of the gourd when it is dry, and the peeling too early will make the gourd seriously shrink, because the water dispersion of the gourd is too fast and the degree of lignification of the gourd is at the bottom, so it is necessary to wait for the water of the gourd to volatilize naturally for a period of time in the peeling (with a paper cutter, pencil sharpener).

4. The gourd with poor maturity has thin skin and low degree of lignification, which will basically shrink or rot, and there is not much retention value, but there are also individual dry shrinkage regulars that are treasures.

Hulu: Hulu, Latin scientific name: Lagenaria Siceraria (Molina) standl.

It belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, Cucurbita plant, it is a climbing vine plant, an annual climbing herb, with soft hairs, white flowers in summer and autumn, monoecious, the vine of the gourd can reach 15 meters long, the fruit can range from 10 cm to one meter, and the heaviest can reach one kilogram.

The length of the vines, the size of the leaves, flowers, and the size and shape of the fruits vary from one type of gourd cultivation to another. There are stick-shaped, scoop-shaped, dolphin-shaped, pot-shaped, etc., and the name of the type also depends on the shape of the fruit. In addition, in ancient times, people dried the gourd and hollowed out its contents to make objects for holding things.

3. When the gourd is four or five times lighter, prepare the wooden scraper shown in the following figure, scrape off the outer skin of the gourd, and do not use iron things.

4. Finally, after scraping, wash and dry with water, and then hang the faucet with a rope to hang in the house.

If you can't eat it, you can put it at home as a decoration.
