Introduction: It is called "false physalis". The fruit is like a lantern and is the raw material for making hand-rubbing ice powder. You may have eaten it too.

Recently, the "ice cream assassin" has become a hot topic and is often ridiculed.

Because summer is the peak season to eat all kinds of cold drinks and ice cream. But when you buy ice cream, a flat package of ice cream, when you are ready to pay, you will find that its price far exceeds the expected price in your heart.

If you have also been hurt by the "ice cream assassin", don't miss this article today. Since the price of ice cream is unacceptable, don't eat it, not to mention its high calorie content.

Some people may exclaim, how can you live without ice cream in summer?

In fact, there were no ice cream in rural areas a few decades ago, and even a few cents a popsicle would be reluctant to buy and eat. However, at that time there were also many artifacts to cool off the heat. Today, I would like to introduce you a plant. With it, the summer will be much better, because it can make hand-rubbing ice powder.

It is estimated that many people have eaten it when they were children, so do you know it? It is "pseudo physalis", and it is also called jelly seed in the folk, or capuchin fruit.

What kind of plant is false physalis?

As for the plant false physalis, I believe that many rural children have seen it. It is often called lantern fruit or jelly seed in the folk, because its fruit looks like a lantern, and there is a round fruit inside. The fruit is filled with brown seeds.

When some people see the photos of fake physalis, do they feel that it is very similar to a wild fruit that was often eaten as a child - girl fruit? Everyone should pay attention here, false physalis and girl fruit (physalis) are different plants, one is native and the other is an exotic plant.

False physalis is a tropical plant native to South America, so it is mainly found in the southern regions, and cannot be seen in the northern regions. Moreover, Pseudo Physalis is an annual upright herb of Solanaceae and Pseudo Physalis . Although it is very similar to the girl fruit, the Pseudo Physalis can be eaten, and the fruit of the Pseudo Physalis is not edible. If you eat it hard, you will find that Bitter and astringent, very difficult to swallow.

30 years ago, the "cooling artifact" of rural children

The vitality of the plant is still very strong, and it is widely distributed in rural areas in the south. It often grows near villages, and can be seen on some roadsides, wastelands or near old houses.

Although pseudophysalis is an exotic species, few people hate it. When you see it, you won't get rid of it easily. In some places, people have planted it specially in recent years, because it is not harmful and it is quite useful.

One of the values ​​of fake physalis is that it can be used to make ice powder for hand. When there were no air conditioners and fans in rural areas a few decades ago, they were used to relieve the heat. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an artifact to relieve the heat.

Using fake physalis to make hand-rubbing ice powder is also very simple. Basically, you can learn it after learning it. This is also the most common cold drink in rural streets at that time. The author still remembers that when I went to the town to go to the market in summer, I would specially eat a bowl of this ice-cold noodles. The price was not expensive, and I could eat a big bowl for 5 cents.

Later, I learned that the ice-cold powder in the market was made from the seeds of fake physalis, so I went to the wild to find fake physalis and collected its seeds to make ice-cold powder. The method is not difficult, as long as the seeds are taken out, soaked in well water, and then added with a little lime water as a coagulant, and placed for a while, it will form crystal clear, cool-tasting jelly.

Such ice-cold powder not only relieves summer heat and quenches thirst, but also has the functions of sedation, expectorant, heat-clearing and detoxification. In the southern region at that time, its seeds were often used to make ice-cold powder. Especially if there are children at home, they will deliberately keep the false physalis plants growing in the crops or in the yard, and collect their seeds to make hand-rubbing ice jelly when they bear fruit in summer and autumn.

A few decades ago, the conditions in the countryside were poor, and there were no air conditioners and refrigerators at that time. In summer, many people would find ways to cook some delicious food to quench their thirst and quench their thirst. Among them, the ice-cold powder made of fake physalis is very popular. , which is also one of the most common summer foods in the past. Make a large pot at a time so the whole family can eat to the fullest.

It's about to enter the dog days, and in the south, sometimes you can see ice jelly on the street, some of which are made from the seeds of false physalis, and because of its more diverse tastes, it will also be Add raisins, honey, chocolate and other foods, so the price is also high, generally more than ten yuan a bowl, which is 20 times more expensive than the previous 5 cents.

If you have children at home who also like to eat such ice-cold noodles, you can go directly to the countryside to find them. If you really don't have it, you can also buy ice powder seeds online and make them yourself.

Because what I made myself is truly pure and natural ice-cold powder, without any other additives, it is more comfortable to eat. The key is that there are no calories, so there is no need to worry about gaining weight.

Dear fans, do you know fake physalis? Have you ever eaten ice jelly made with it? It should be noted that girl fruit cannot make ice jelly because they are two different plants.
