Commonly known as the beads of urine, planted for more than 6,000 years, it was once a food crop, an

In childhood, a wild plant similar to corn will always grow near the ditch in the field, but it is not very tall, only about 1 meter. In summer and autumn, this wild plant similar to corn will grow, It bears fruit, and the fruit is also very special, the size of a jujube, when ripe** hard and smooth, the common ones are black or dark gray, such as chestnuts and peaches, the rare ones are yellow or white, and most importantly, there is a natural hole in the middle of the fruit that can be threaded directly, therefore, in the past, every season, the adults in the village would go to Tianbiangou to pick them up, and when they returned, they would use threads to pick them up, and they were used as curtains and bracelets, It is estimated that many rural friends guessed what wild plants the author was talking about, yes, grass beads.

However, although grass beads are very common in rural areas, it used to be a food crop, grass beads, known as "grass beads" because of their natural pores, can be used as threading beads, grass beads It is widely distributed in our country, almost all over the country, it mainly grows in low-lying and humid environments, such as wetlands, ditches, paddy fields, riversides, etc., so it can be said that it is a very common wild animal in rural areas of our country, Grow it, in the folk, grass beads are also known as Hui Hui Mi, Barley Beads, Chuan Valley, Bodhi seeds and Guanyin seeds, its most common use is to make bracelets and door curtains, sometimes they will wear a few on the one hand, but children basically do not wear them, because in the past, there were two sayings among people, one is that grass beads can suck blood, and children cannot bring them, otherwise they will get sick.

Therefore, grass beads are also commonly referred to as "blood sucking beads" and "urine beads" in the folk, so do grass beads have other uses besides being used for door curtains and bracelets, Of course, there are other uses, but now that living conditions have improved, it is no longer needed, that is, it can also be used as food, barley can be eaten, grass beads can be eaten naturally, modern research has also found that grass beads are not only edible, their nutritional value is similar to barley, and the starch content of grass beads is lower than that of barley, The protein content is higher than barley, so why are grass beads reduced to weeds, no one cares and no one eats them, and barley is specially grown, the main reason is that the shell of grass beads is hard and difficult to peel, whereas the shell of barley is brittle and easy to peel.

In addition, the output of grass beads is not as high as that of barley, so it is naturally eliminated, in general, grass beads are also excellent, but for some reason it is abandoned by people, of course, grass beads can still be seen in the market today, after all, its natural passage saves a lot of effort, therefore, nowadays it is often used to make bracelets, as for its use on door curtains, it is rarely seen in the market, except for some rural areas that can still be used for their own use, and finally, Barley and grass beads are very different from each other before peeling, but there is almost no difference after peeling, and they taste the same, if you want to try it, you can pick something in the country, but the process of peeling the grass beads can give you a headache.

I think this kind of thing is very beautiful to make a bracelet, and it is both healthy and beautiful to wear on the hand.

It also looks good to make a bracelet now, and it can be worn on everyone's wrist, and I feel that it looks very good.

It's still very understandable, because the products of nature are still very magical and have different uses at different times.

Being able to change from a food crop to an ornament shows that our life is really getting better and better, and I would like to thank Grandpa Yuan Longping here.
