Edible hemp leaves

Hemp leaf is a unique kenaf leaf in Chaoshan, which was not eaten in the past, because Chaoshan people had to wait for the elders of kenaf, so they used kenaf skin to weave ropes. No one weaves ropes now, so this kind of hemp leaves appears on people's dining tables. Hemp leaves were picked from the top of kenaf when it was very young, so this kind of kenaf will never grow up and can't be made into rope. However, hemp leaves on the dining table are rare and delicious. Cannabis leaves need to be watered again to remove astringency, and then fried, which is a little salty, but it is perfect for sending porridge. Shan thinks it has a lot of fiber, tastes a bit like sweet potato leaves and is very healthy.

Chaoshan famous dish Maye

Hemp rope is rarely used, but hemp leaves are carried forward. The most expensive vegetable all year round is hemp leaf, which is served in Chaoshan restaurant. Soak hemp leaves in water at about 80℃ and lift them up to dry. Add the fried garlic to the pot to make it slightly red, add Puning bean paste to stir-fry until fragrant, and stir-fry hemp leaves to taste.

Chaoyang sesame has become a delicious dish on the table.

Gao He Village, Liangying Town, Chaoyang City, develops characteristic agriculture and increases farmers' income according to local advantages. At present, 500 mu of sesame is planted in the village, and the leaves of sesame are fragrant all over the country. The annual income alone is more than 3 million yuan.

Villagers in Gao He have been farming for generations and have the tradition and experience of growing jute. In the past, jute was mainly harvested from hemp skin as industrial raw material, and tender yellow hemp leaves could be eaten as vegetables, which was a favorite food of Chaoshan people. In recent years, with the development of modern industry, there are fewer and fewer jute growers. A few years ago, a compatriot from Taiwan Province, Gao He, returned to his hometown, bringing with him fine seeds of sesame. In order to encourage and help farmers to grow sweet hemp and increase their income, the town government allocated special funds and rewarded 0/00 kg potash fertilizer per mu/kloc for farmers to grow sweet hemp. After experimental planting, it has now formed a scale. The yield per mu of sesame is as high as 1 ton, with an average value of more than 7000 yuan per ton. It is a high-yield and high-value vegetable crop.

Sesame leaves are not only delicious, but also rich in vitamins and nutrients. Wei Chao restaurants and hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shenzhen all bought in large quantities, and the local market was also very hot. Hemp leaf, which used to be a vulgar Chaoshan peasant food, has now become a delicacy in big cities. (Guo Hengqu)

Sweet hemp leaves (national notes)

Living in the country, there is a large farmland in front of my house. Standing at the door, or standing on the balcony, green crops jump into your eyes. Because of this field, I can find the first touch of green when spring comes, that is, "the grass color is far away, but it is not", which is a faint green on the sunny field; I can still hear the footsteps of spring, which is the first sound made by a frog by a small canal when he just woke up from hibernation; The king's landing in midsummer is like a frog drum and cicada singing to announce; As for the late winter in the south, only by listening to the north wind passing through the yellow, fat and green fields can we capture some information. Throughout the year, the fields alternate with each other, and I can appreciate its changes and elegance at the first time. This is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of happiness, just like the happy mood of the ancients. "We open the window, overlook the gardens and fields, and talk about Sang Ma with cups in our hands.".

For the field in front of my house, I am most concerned about Xiangma Garden. The hemp garden is like a tea garden, and the oval hemp leaves are as green as tea; Picking hemp is like picking tea, holding a basket in one hand and picking hemp hearts skillfully in the other, and occasionally picking a star and putting it in the basket in the morning. From early spring sowing to late spring mining, from midsummer harvest season to the end of late autumn picking, every production process of sesame comes into my sight every time. Sometimes I will walk into the hemp garden and smell the fragrance of slightly green hemp leaves, and my heart will feel extremely full.

Villagers are good at growing marijuana. Jute used to be planted. Hemp skin can be peeled off and dried, and it can be sold as money, hemp rope, linen and sacks. In the past, country people's mosquito nets were all made of flax, which was strong and durable. A linen mosquito net cannot be worn for two or three generations. Sangma has been an indispensable pet for farmers since ancient times. However, in the 1980s, the old almanac didn't work. No one wants hemp skin, flax is left out in the cold, and hemp fields gradually disappear from the fields. Many farmers "go to sea" to do business or work. At this time, people who didn't wash their feet or go to the ground found that amaranth, thick vegetables and sweet potato leaves, which used to be pig feed, appeared on the menus of restaurants and restaurants, so they thought of hemp leaves. According to experience, hemp leaves can be eaten, which has the functions of promoting digestion, appetizing, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, but it tastes bitter. In the past, only poor farmers used hemp leaves to cook. Now, the days of starvation have passed, and many over-nourished people are looking for green food. Cannabis leaves must have other uses. After several years of trial and error, hardworking and intelligent villagers finally cultivated an edible cannabis different from traditional cannabis. The leaves of this edible hemp can be boiled, boiled, fried and boiled in soup. It tastes sweet and delicious, fragrant and refreshing. If you are tired of eating wine and meat with sweet sesame leaves, the feeling is best described by a well-known advertising word: delicious! When the first crop of sesame leaves appears in late spring every year, it often costs more than ten or twenty yuan per catty, which is more than twice as expensive as pork.

Sesame has been planted in my hometown for nearly 20 years, and the production scale has expanded year by year. The production base of sesame leaves in Gaohe Village with an annual output value of 67 million yuan can be said to be a unique vegetable production base in eastern Guangdong and even in the world. In 2003, after testing by relevant departments, the quality of sesame leaves produced in Gaohe Village of Liangying Town met the national agricultural industry standard of "pollution-free food", and the Provincial Department of Agriculture specially issued the "Guangdong Province Pollution-free Agricultural Products Certificate". Over the years, fragrant sesame leaves are not only popular in eastern Guangdong, but also in restaurants and restaurants in big cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In summer, some people are addicted to sesame leaves, almost reaching the obsession that "you can't eat without this gentleman" In addition, the "sweet potato porridge with sesame leaves" full of Chaoshan local flavor has attracted many folks at home and abroad who have returned home, and people who have eaten this unique food are relished.

Sesame leaf has become a famous brand with far-reaching influence in my hometown.

Idiot teaches you how to make hemp leaves.

I love hemp leaves, but I didn't expect to eat them in Shenzhen.

In the past, someone in Chaoshan House asked Ma about her practice, and I even specifically consulted my mother. By the way, if you can buy unprocessed hemp leaves, the landlord can make them, which will definitely be better than those in the restaurant outside:)

First, heat soybean oil in a wok and stir-fry garlic, then take out most of the heated soybean oil garlic, leave a little oil at the bottom of the wok, then add salt to the washed hemp leaves and stir-fry, and a small amount of water will seep out. Push the hemp leaves to the side of the pot with a spatula to squeeze out the water, then drain the water, and then pour the original soybean oil garlic cloves into the pot.

Add puning bean paste and stir fry. The more bitter you eat, the more memorable marijuana leaves will soon be out of the pot:)
