Camel thorn effect and function

Camel thorn effect and function

1. Edible

Every July, when strong winds blow, the thorns of this plant will pierce its own leaves, and the sap that flows out is rich in sugar. If it is collected and the excess water is dried, it can be shrunk into pieces of sugar. This sugar can be eaten and is also a tribute.

It turns out that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, this kind of sugar was offered as a tribute and was called "Ci Mi" because it was sweeter than honey and looked very much like amber. The Silk Road was also very developed at that time, so this kind of sugar was sold all the way along the ancient Silk Road to various parts of the Central Plains and was loved by everyone.

2. Medicinal Use

Scientists in Xinjiang have conducted research on this kind of sugar. It contains many compounds that are extremely beneficial, and the research results have been reported in various reports.

In the past, ethnic minorities have discovered that this plant can treat abdominal pain, bloating, dysentery and diarrhea, and can also nourish and strengthen, balance body fluids and abnormal bile.

After extraction by scientists, a total of 50 compounds were isolated, one of which had never been seen before. After research, it was discovered that this compound is difficult to find in nature and it also has anti-cancer effects, which made scientists very happy.

3. Ecology

Since there are few plants in the desert, every plant is indispensable. This plant is edible and is one of the food sources for desert creatures. Only by maintaining the existence of this type of plant can the fragile ecological environment of the desert be kept stable. Therefore, it has very important ecological value.

4. Seasoning

Because this plant has edible and medicinal value, it is often made into seasoning and used to process food. The flowers of this plant were originally very inconspicuous, but later scientists discovered that these flowers are rich in beneficial substances, so the sauces made from these flowers became a hot seller.
