Vegetables are the daily necessities of Chinese, in our country, the variety of vegetables is very rich, there must be at least dozens of hundreds of kinds throughout the country, but in fact, this kind of thing we think is common, but in the eyes of foreign netizens seems very rare.

Chinese love to eat vegetables is famous in the world, basically vegetables occupy the most important position in the Chinese diet.

Stir-fried a plate of green vegetables with rice is a common staple food in many families, not only delicious, but also can replenish various vitamins and minerals needed by the body.

This love for vegetables is deeply rooted in our country's food culture. Whether you are in a small restaurant or a high-end restaurant on the street, as long as you order a plate of vegetables, you will feel full of satisfaction. Compared with those eating habits that only eat meat and no vegetables, our way of eating more vegetables and less meat is healthier and more appropriate.

Of course, the reason why our country has formed such a consistent habit is because we have a wide variety of vegetables and a variety of cooking methods.

Although there is a big difference between the northern and southern diets, you can find a variety of delicious dishes related to vegetables wherever you go, with northern stews being thick and mellow, and southern stir-fried dishes fresh and tender.

Sichuan's spicy chicken is indispensable for green peppers, Hunan's chopped pepper fish head will be paired with fresh green vegetables to relieve greasy, Jiangnan's pickled tuk is also lettuce, cabbage as the protagonist, many places have different fresh vegetables at different times of the year to serve on the table.

Stewed cabbage in winter is eaten hot, bitter gourd in summer can clear heat and detoxify, and pumpkin is eaten in autumn to nourish the stomach and calm the nerves. Whether it is in the era of material scarcity or today's great material abundance, vegetables have always been the protagonist on the table of ordinary people.

The way to eat those simple salads mixed with a few times abroad is really too rough compared to our Chinese dishes, and it is no wonder that foreigners who come to our country after traveling back are not used to eating white rice!

Therefore, the diet of the Chinese people is very healthy in the world, and the World Health Organization recommends that each person should consume 400 grams of vegetables per day, which is difficult to achieve in other countries, but it seems common in China.

In our diet, vegetables and meat are paired together, which is not only rich in taste, but also has special health benefits, and even those developed countries are far from being able to compare with us in this regard.

Americans and Europeans don't eat as much vegetables as we do every day, and leafy dishes rarely appear in the food culture of many countries.

So when we talk to foreigners about eating vegetables, they often open their mouths in surprise and call them incredible. For them, shouldn't the protagonist of every meal be all kinds of big fish and meat?

Therefore, the Western media also saw the habit of Chinese people who love to eat vegetables, and distorted this eating habit into a sign of China's economic underdevelopment, blackening China for many years.

So how did the phenomenon of more vegetables than meat and vegetables cheaper than meat in my country come about? Let's take a look at how powerful my country's geographical environment is. Our land spans multiple climatic zones, hot in the south, cold in the north, coastal in the east, and plateaus in the west.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basin, such an important agricultural area, with suitable temperature and abundant precipitation, are a paradise for growing vegetables.

Coupled with the progress of agricultural technology in the past two years, so that the out-of-season vegetables began to be planted on a large scale, China's greenhouse technology is leading the world, and now the country has been rid of the dependence on food and vegetables, and the Chinese people can eat fresh vegetables all year round, and the life is no longer happy!

In addition, we are a nation that has superimposed agricultural buffs, as early as thousands of years ago, our ancestors began to pay attention to intensive farming, not just throw a seed to let it grow.

They learned how to pick good seeds, how to rotate the land, and created all kinds of strange but very effective planting techniques, which have been passed down to this day to amaze foreigners.

Coupled with more and more hybrid breeding technology, peppers grow red and bright, tomatoes are delicious and big, the ultimate goal of China's agriculture is to ensure quality and quantity, not only to enrich the variety, but also to improve the yield to meet the needs of the user market.

China's vegetable industry will not worry about not being able to buy seeds in the world, because our domestic seeds can be completely self-sufficient and exported to foreign countries.

With the value of modern agriculture, Chinese peasants have long been no longer simply facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and the progress of agricultural technology has directly determined the leap in productivity.

In the past, growing vegetables was to follow the season, and what to eat. Now, with the spread of hybrid breeding technology and facility agriculture, farmers can grow summer cucumbers in winter, and in some highland areas, rare vegetables can be grown by regulating the greenhouse environment.

China's vegetable seed industry has also become the international market of fragrant bait, now we export not only vegetables, but also excellent seeds and technology, Japan, South Korea a few years ago is still importing Chinese cabbage and radish seeds, and now we have become a student of vegetable technology.

Foreign moon vegetables are not round

Everything in the world is still afraid of comparison, why is the economy of many countries not bad, but it is completely incomparable with us in the matter of eating vegetables?

The typical representatives of this are Britain and Japan, as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the former British colonies spread all over the world, claiming to be only the empire, but the developed Britain had a vegetable shortage a few years ago.

辣椒、西紅柿、黃瓜這些最常見的蔬菜在超市裡實行限購，有錢都買不到新鮮菜，明明都21世紀了，蔬菜這種日常必需品竟然能這麼緊缺，也成了世界奇聞！

A potato in the UK can top half of the table, and everyone usually eats mashed potatoes, french fries, and sometimes a cucumber is luxurious, but the British don't like to eat vegetables, but because of the limited conditions, they really can't afford to eat.

In fact, this is not entirely to blame for the backward agricultural technology of the United Kingdom, in terms of latitude, the United Kingdom is located in a high latitude area, the climate is relatively cold, not all vegetables are suitable for growing there.

Winter vegetable production basically depends on imports, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables with large demand are 95% dependent on foreign supply, and the British policy in the past two years is also more individual, after Brexit, the United Kingdom has basically cut off ties with the European continent, imported vegetables are becoming more and more troublesome, and transportation costs are rising.

Other European countries can communicate with each other according to foreign trade agreements, but the United Kingdom alone has entered an era of vegetable shortage due to fragmentation, supermarkets have announced restrictions on the amount of salad and bell peppers per person can buy, and many restaurants have simply reduced the supply of vegetables.

This aspect of Japan is not much better, even today's Japanese vegetable types are quite monotonous, and the price is generally high, three or four chicken hair vegetables cost 180 yen, converted into RMB almost a dozen yuan, ordinary families want to fry a few plates of vegetables every day to eat is really a bit unaffordable.

In winter, the price of vegetables is more common, although Japan has also learned our greenhouse technology in the past two years, but the Japanese government's intervention in agriculture is very strict, and a designated vegetable policy directly puts a shackle on Japanese agriculture.

Cabbage, green onions, potatoes and other designated vegetables have long dominated the supermarket shelves, and over time green leafy vegetables have become a luxury, I don't know how many Japanese people have complained about the lack of vegetables and expensive vegetables for many years, and the Japanese in desperation can only reduce the food of vegetables, and put the body's dependence on vitamins into a variety of pills.

After this trend became popular, the Japanese became the world's famous medicine jar, and many Chinese in Japan had to find ways to be self-sufficient.

Some people set up a family vegetable garden in their own courtyard, planting some luxury goods such as coriander and lettuce to enjoy themselves, which not only saves money but also satisfies their appetite, and some Chinese restaurant owners simply build their own farms, not only to supply vegetables to their own restaurants, but also to sell the excess to make a little money.

In this comparison, the domestic vegetables are really too fragrant, China's vegetable supply can not only eat well by themselves, but also become a big country for exporting vegetables, and deliver all kinds of high-quality vegetable products to the outside every year. Compared with the shortage of British vegetables and the high price of Japanese food, the people of our country can not only enjoy a rich variety of vegetables at any time, but also the price is very fair, which also makes many foreigners have to blush.

In recent years, with the frequent foreign exchanges, China's overseas students have published their experiences of going abroad on different platforms, and there are more and more regrets about going abroad!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that maybe we are not frying a plate of small vegetables, but the real power of a great country, in addition to our advanced agricultural technology, scientific research strength to keep up, our vegetable production is so convenient because of our perfect transportation system.

Now China's vegetable cold chain transportation has covered the whole country, no matter where you are in our country, you can enjoy seasonal vegetables in different regions. This is an invisible green logistics network, where fresh vegetables harvested from vegetable farmers are loaded onto refrigerated trucks and quickly enter the consumer's field of vision through large vegetable wholesale markets.

Thousands of vegetables in the market are circulated to ensure the smooth flow of a series of links from picking, delivery and sales, and vegetables can be transported so smoothly.
