 栗子树,一种防止咳嗽的植物

长期以来,人们认为栗子树( Castanea sativa 然而,最近的研究证明,普通栗子(我们给它的另一个名字)起源于伊比利亚半岛。 今天,美丽的栗子林在北欧各地都可以找到。

在葡萄牙,它生长在全国各地的树林和高达1300米的山上。 我所知道和推荐的我国最美丽的栗子林是Peneda/Gerês自然公园里的栗子林。 在11月,当地面上覆盖着金色和棕色的栗子叶子的花钵时。

识别和历史

它是一种落叶乔木,高度可达20至30米。 它有巨大的树干,硬木,年轻,光滑,银灰色的树皮。 叶子是深绿色的,披针形,有雌性和雄性羊齿,黄绿色,有刺的种子胶囊,里面有两到三个有光泽的壳的坚果。 它喜欢硅质,排水良好的土壤,根部栗子树发现在石灰质土壤中生长非常困难。

它在最初几年生长缓慢,后来速度加快,在50岁左右达到确定的大小。 如果它是孤立的,树干仍然很低,树冠扩大,在25-30岁左右就会结果。 如果它是森林的一部分,它生长得更多,在40或60岁左右才会结果。

栗子树可以活很多年,在某些情况下可以达到1000年的寿命。 随着年龄的增长,树干会变得空洞。 我相信在西西里岛的埃特纳山坡上,仍然有一棵栗子树,其树干被用作一群羊的庇护所,农民说它大约有4000年的历史。

七叶树( Castanea sativa 它不应该与七叶树(Heritage)相混淆。 雀舌草 它的叶子与普通栗子的特性非常相似,但栗子的味道更苦。

栗子叶茶通过收缩粘膜,抑制剧烈的咳嗽发作;因此,它被推荐用于防治百日咳、支气管炎和痰多。 它还可用于漱口。 在喉咙发炎的情况下,它还可用于缓解风湿、关节和肌肉疼痛。

烹饪

栗子是一种冬季面粉。 建议在食用前去掉栗子皮,因为它有相当的苦味。 在尚有余温的情况下,煮或烤后很容易去掉。 它可以被纳入汤、沙拉和馅料中,栗子粉可以与其他面粉混合制备蛋糕、面包、冰淇淋和布丁。 在一些国家仍然可以找到栗子泥如果储存在阴凉、干燥的地方,放在干燥的沙子上,可以保存一年;如果去掉皮并煮熟,栗子在冰箱里只能保存几天。
