I remember when I first started the Hericium erinaceus project, I didn't know much about how to grasp the quality. The director of Chinese pharmacy in a military sanatorium in Qinghai gave me an example. He used Bupleurum root to treat colds and a pair of medicine. If he uses Laoshan wild Bupleurum, 12 g is enough; If you buy Bupleurum from the market, you need to use 60 grams. Why? There is a simple reason. All the products sold in the market are planted with pesticides and fertilizers, which grow fast and cause great pollution. The medicinal components of Bupleurum are much less, and the efficacy is naturally much worse. This reminds me of watching old movies in the past, where I went to a Chinese medicine shop to get medicine, usually just a few small paper bags. Nowadays, Chinese medicine is caught in many bags. Because, in the past, even if Chinese herbal medicines were planted, there were no pesticides and fertilizers. In particular, Chinese medicinal materials pay attention to the place of origin, that is, Chinese medicinal materials are strong only when they grow in the place of origin, such as Wenshan Sanqi, Ningxia Lycium barbarum and Changbai Mountain Ginseng. And the wild ones are top grade. From this point of view, Laoshan Color Valley Scenic Area has the characteristics of the origin of Hericium erinaceus. Hericium erinaceus, which we want to make, must make use of Laoshan Color Valley Scenic Area and grasp it according to the standard of origin, pure natural and super organic green!
For animals, plants and microorganisms in nature, the climate, geographical environment and conditions of origin, especially the types, contents and activities of nutrients in soil, groundwater and air, and whether they are polluted or not, are the key factors to determine their utilization value.
After hundreds of millions of years of natural changes, Laoshan Mountain has risen from the bottom of the sea and become the highest mountain in China today, with an altitude of more than 1 100 meters, standing on the coast of the Yellow Sea; The total area is nearly 450 square kilometers, and the forest coverage rate is nearly 65%, which belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate. The vicissitudes of life, unique natural environment and climate make Laoshan have the reputation of "the first famous mountain on the sea" and "the first fairy mountain on the sea". The soil and groundwater in Laoshan Mountain are rich in trace elements, minerals and some nutrients. Laoshan Mountain is located at the end of subtropical zone and the beginning of north temperate zone, often near the Yellow Sea. The climate is mild and humid, and many plants in the north and south grow and breed here. There are more than 600 kinds of woody plants, more than 900 kinds of herbs such as weeds and wildflowers, more than 370 kinds of fruits, and more than 0/0/00 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, which are known as "natural drug storehouse". There are more than 300 kinds of birds and 10 kinds of other animals living in Laoshan Mountain. According to 1986 field survey, there are more than 3 million migratory birds passing through Laoshan Mountain, including more than 500,000 rare birds and raptors under special state protection. Laoshan Mountain has been designated as a national key scenic spot and national forest park by the state.
Suitable natural conditions and climate, not only the efficacy of Laoshan wild Chinese herbal medicine is outstanding; There are all kinds of vegetables and fruits, including wild vegetables, which are rich in nutrition and sweet in taste. Because of its good environmental protection, it is basically free from harmful substances such as pesticide residues and heavy metals. Therefore, Laoshan Mountain is rich in Chinese herbal medicines, vegetables, fruits and wild vegetables, which are especially nutritious and effective.
In other areas, most of them are Chinese herbal medicines, vegetables and fruits planted on a large scale with pesticides and fertilizers. The nutrients in the soil are decreasing year by year, and the groundwater is also polluted, which will inevitably lead to lower and lower nutritional efficiency. Moreover, the harmful components in these contaminated Chinese herbal medicines, vegetables and fruits are also harmful to the spleen, stomach, kidney, liver and other internal organs of consumers. Therefore, the conclusion of 12g VS60 drawn by Chinese medicine experts is not only an empirical statement, but also a scientific judgment.
China is the hometown of Hericium erinaceus, one of the eight delicacies. Known as one of the four famous dishes in China, it is as famous as bear's paw, bird's nest and shark's fin. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, and is known as "Hericium erinaceus, seafood shark's fin". Until the 1970s, it remained at the top of the list. However, since the large-scale expansion of artificial cultivation, the annual output of fresh Hericium erinaceus reached 6.5438+0.5 million tons in 2065.438+04, which was once included in Dalian commodity futures market. At present, supermarkets and farmers' markets all over the country are full of dried Hericium erinaceus and Hericium erinaceus series products, such as biscuits, dried noodles, nutritional powder, capsules and tablets. However, the identity and status of Hericium erinaceus plummeted, and the market was very chaotic. It is also dried Hericium erinaceus, and the market price ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan a catty. As far as the reason is concerned, the producer knows. As far as quality is concerned, consumers know it.
A famous expert on edible fungi once said, "Hericium erinaceus was a good thing, but it was a pity that it was blind!" Indeed, can people regard Hericium erinaceus as a medicinal treasure like bear's paw, bird's nest and shark's fin? Most Hericium erinaceus is far from the standard of origin, and its characteristics and nutritional value are greatly reduced. It can be said for sure that many Hericium erinaceus on the market now are different from the real Hericium erinaceus!
Hericium erinaceus in the market is mostly cultivated Hericium brevicornum, which is genetically different from Hericium erinaceus grown in the wild. At present, there is no artificial Hericium erinaceus strain which is obviously superior to wild Hericium erinaceus.
-Hericium erinaceus is planted with mostly local materials, all of which are leftovers from crops. Such as cottonseed hull, bran, rice straw, wheat straw, bagasse, sawdust, corncob, gypsum, calcium superphosphate, etc. In some formulations, the cottonseed hull is as high as 90%. As we all know, pesticides and fertilizers are widely used in cotton planting, and the possible pesticide residues and heavy metal pollution in cottonseed hulls are very serious. In fact, most crops have more or less problems of pesticide residues and heavy metal pollution.
? Hericium erinaceus belongs to wood rot fungi, although cottonseed hull, bran, wheat straw and so on. Contains carbon source and nitrogen source, which can produce some nutrients. Aside from the problems of pesticide residues and heavy metals, their quality and vitality are also very different objectively. And sawdust. First, different wood has different nutritional components. It's not that the original wood of Hericium erinaceus can't guarantee the nutritional sources and characteristics needed by Hericium erinaceus. Second, the sawdust directly used in wood is different from the sawdust produced in furniture processing, and the latter will be polluted by adhesive or paint; Third, is the source of wood using sawdust polluted by groundwater and pesticides?
-During the cultivation and processing of Hericium erinaceus, it is very common to use chemicals to kill insects and miscellaneous bacteria when making matrix materials. And the use of growth agents. Hericium erinaceus is very fragile and difficult to preserve. Preservatives and preservatives are often used during picking, transportation and storage.
During the growth of Hericium erinaceus, fresh air with high oxygen content and clean water with rich nutrition are important factors to ensure the quality of Hericium erinaceus. If the air is polluted and the water is polluted, the quality of Hericium erinaceus will be reduced, and its nutritional value and efficacy will also be reduced.
Of course, if harmful substances such as pesticide residues and heavy metals are well controlled, relatively low prices can also meet the market demand of some consumers.
Cave-hidden snow mushroom was born in the west foot of Laoshan Mountain, upstream of the famous Laoshan Reservoir, and in a semi-cave in Shanseyu Scenic Area. The mineral water produced in Shanseyu Scenic Area won the first place in blind evaluation in the whole province. Mountain color valley scenic spot is known as "the first cherry valley in Qilu", and its specialty is "five-color mountain color plum ganoderma lucidum". Hiding Snow Mushroom in the cave is to make full use of the advantages of natural oxygen bars inside and outside Shanseyu Cave, and the planting methods and implementation standards are super organic and green! The strains extracted from wild Hericium erinaceus, or the "parents" of snow mushrooms in caves, are all wild; The nutrient matrix needed for growth is the same as that of wild Hericium erinaceus; Hericium erinaceus likes the natural air with high negative oxygen ions floating in the mountains of Shanseyu 18 square kilometers. As a living body, the necessary water comes from mountain springs rich in minerals and trace elements; Kill insects and bacteria by physical methods; The growth temperature of Pleurotus nebrodensis in the cave is 15-25℃. The mountain fish cave is a good natural temperature regulator all year round, so you can eat fresh Hericium erinaceus every day for 365 days. It can be said that the mountain valley cave is a godsend opportunity to hide snow mushrooms!
From production, planting, picking, low-temperature extraction and drying, micro-powder grinding to storage and transportation, the whole process of storing snow mushrooms in caves does not use any pesticides, fungicides, nutrients, preservatives, preservatives and so on. , and choose organic green packaging materials and appliances, and strictly implement super organic green standards. Ensure that there are no pesticide residues, heavy metals, infectious bacteria and other harmful substances.
With pure natural planting conditions and super organic and green methods, the annual output of cave fresh mushrooms is about120,000 Jin, only 3,500 mushrooms a day in A Jin. If it is all processed into Hericium erinaceus powder, it will cost 30 to 50 kilograms a day. Snow mushroom in the cave is a limited edition Hericium erinaceus.
In order to live a clean and honest life, only fresh Hericium erinaceus and Hericium erinaceus pure powder are introduced into the cave, and the so-called Hericium erinaceus series products are not made with any additives that are difficult to guarantee super-organic green quality. Unless, other raw materials and additives in these series products can also meet the organic green standards. Therefore, the origin characteristics of snow mushroom in caves are very prominent.
At present, the quality of Hericium erinaceus on the market is difficult to beat! Tested by a third-party authoritative organization, the nutritional components of the cave-stored snow mushroom are very rich. It contains six kinds of nutrients except fat, and the content is very high: (1) 18 kinds of amino acids, while people usually need about 20 kinds, and similar products generally have 16 and 7 kinds; (2) There are seven kinds of vitamin B, and the human body usually needs eight kinds, especially VB2, VB6, VB7 and VB 12. (3) Trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, potassium, copper and selenium are very rich; (4) dietary fiber; (5) carbohydrates; (6) Water, which comes from Shanseyu Mountain Spring, is not only small molecular water, but also rich in nutrients such as minerals and trace elements. The selenium contained in the cave-hidden snow mushroom comes from the spring water of Shanseyu Mountain.
The purpose of hiding Snow Mushroom in the cave is to return to the original, and to turn Hericium erinaceus in Shanseyu Cave into a "four famous dishes" in China that can really be as famous as bear's paw, bird's nest and shark's fin. As Qianlong said, it can be 10,000 times better than bear's paw bird's nest, and realize the dream of "three thousand years of monkey ears, healthy sacred products". "It's hard to get out of Laoshan Mountain", so is the snow mushroom in the cave!
