How do you peel wild camellia fruit?

How to quickly and lightly remove the outermost husk of camellia seeds harvested from the mountains?

When it comes to camellia seed picking, in rural areas, everyone used to plant a large area, mainly to solve the problem of edible oil for family members.

The picking time of camellia seeds generally begins before and after the frost, at that time, rural people are farming at home, and there is a lot of labor at home, and the tea seeds on the mountain are picked in two or three days, and at that time we all carry bags on our backs and go to the mountains to pick up wild tea seeds.

After the tea seeds are picked, we pile the tea seeds in the corner of the room, and let them rot the shell by themselves, so that when the shell of the camellia seeds loses its strength, we use a dustpan.

Pick it up in the sun to dry, at this time, except for a few dumb shell tea seeds will not crack, the other tea seed shells have basically been cracked, at this time you just need to sit on a low stool, put on a pair of gloves can easily and quickly remove all the shells of tea seeds, right, and then peel out the tea seeds in two big sun, you can store them, or pick them to squeeze tea seed oil.

Therefore, the tea seeds picked back from the mountain, if you want to easily and quickly remove its shell, the way is to pick them home, pile them in the shade to let their shells rot and be old, it is estimated that they will wait for another ten days, and then take them to the cement floor, let the sun go to the sun for a day, their shells will basically be cracked, right, and then move a low stool to sit on, put on gloves and select the tea seed shells at once, very simple and fast. What do you think? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to see what methods you usually use to quickly remove the husk of tea seeds, so that everyone can communicate and learn from each other!

Camellia trees are different from other fruit trees, autumn is both fruiting and flowering season, from the old generation has spread a sentence "holding a child and conceiving a child", which is the camellia tree. Therefore, whether adults or children, if they are busy and tired, they will find a place to sit down, turn into a little bee, pick a camellia, and suck its "nectar".

After flowering, a peach-shaped fruit grows on the camellia tree. We call it "tea bud", but because it is shaped like a peach and grows on the camellia tree, it is also called "tea peach" in some places. The taste varies slightly depending on the trunk of the tree where it grows, and the flavor is generally sweeter when ripe.

Camellia fruits picked from the mountains need to be preliminarily processed. First of all, it should be dried in the sun, and the shell of the dried tea fruit will naturally crack into four petals, if there is no cracking, they must be separated by hand. Secondly, continue to dry the tea seeds, do not let the tea seeds get damp, and it is generally about 12 to complete the preliminary treatment in good weather and sun.

The dried tea seeds can be pressed with an oil press. The oil extraction process is shown below

The role of camellia oil:

Camellia oil is suitable for all ages, infant and early childhood: after consumption, it has an important role in promoting the development of the brain and vision; Childhood: It can improve qi, laxative, extinguish fire, digest, and promote the development of bones and other bodies; Seniors:

It can prevent the three highs, remove fire, nourish the skin, brighten the eyes, black hair, delay aging, longevity and health, etc.; Beauty lovers: anti-ultraviolet rays, prevent sunspots and reduce wrinkles, long-term consumption can make people **smooth and moisturized.

In addition, the tea seed residue after oil extraction is also a treasure (our rural people here are also called "tea oil cake"), and some places are called tea dry or tea cakes.

The function of tea seed residue: some are used to clean up fish ponds; Some are used to kill insects; Some are used as organic fertilizer; Some are used for heating, and this tea residue keeps warm longer than charcoal. In the past, the old people used it as a shampoo, filtered after boiling, and shampooed with filtered water had the effects of anti-dandruff, anti-itching, oil-removal, sterilization, and repairing damaged hair.

Now many elderly people miss this kind of green, natural, plant-based shampoo and hair care products.

Shelling method for camellia fruit.

Patent Abstract] The present invention provides a shelling method for camellia fruit, after the initial shelling treatment of camellia fruit after drying, use a specific gravity sieve to sort, and use a roller-type shelling machine to carry out secondary shelling on the part of the tea seed that is not completely peeled to ensure that the tea seed that is subjected to subsequent oil extraction treatment is the tea seed that is shelled more thoroughly, so as to ensure the overall quality and yield of oil extraction. This kind of shelling method for camellia fruit, the use of combined shell shelling machine can prevent the crushing problem of excessive camellia seeds in the shelling process to a limited extent, so that the tea kernel obtained by peeling can maintain good integrity, and avoid the problem of waste of resources caused by the crushed tea kernel being sucked by the suction fan that removes impurities, thereby increasing the yield and saving time.

Patent Description] Shelling method for camellia fruit.

Technical field] 0001] The present invention relates to a shelling method for camellia fruit.

Background technology] 0002] When extracting oil from camellia fruit, the camellia fruit should be dried. After the drying of the camellia fruit is completed, the camellia fruit should be peeled, and the obtained camellia kernel is pressed with an oil press. In this process, because the shell of the camellia fruit will absorb oil in the oil press and affect the yield and quality of oil extraction, therefore, when peeling the dried camellia kernel, the shelling should be guaranteed to be thorough, so as to ensure the yield of oil extraction.

At the same time, in order to ensure the improvement of production efficiency, the production cost should be guaranteed at a low level, so how to ensure that the shelling effect of camellia fruit is more thorough under the premise of lower production cost is a problem that should be considered and solved in the shelling process of camellia fruit.
