What is the market price of corn smut? Is it edible?

Actually, we all know that many things, or rather many matters, cannot realize their true value at the level of understanding of farmer friends. Just like farmer friends and the role of wheat - they can only grind it into flour to cook porridge and drink, or at a more advanced level make noodles, while in the hands of some people with high awareness, wheat is ground into flour, then made into bread, and then into a series of pastries. That is absolutely another upgrade for wheat. And in the rural areas of the past, there was also such a thing that was wasted, and its name is corn smut. So what is the market price of corn smut? Is it edible?

1. What is corn smut

To put it in plain terms this time, it is corn smut. This mold often grows on corn, and the damage it does to corn is extremely great. At one point it made farmer friends cry loudly, because with its appearance, corn yields were bound to drop greatly, and for farmers this was a very large loss of property, so farmers growing corn would find ways to keep their corn from being infected by this disease. There was a time when its harm was very great, but now everyone has gradually learned to prevent and control it, so this fungus is rarely seen in corn fields. And because this fungus has become scarce, but it also has the value of being usable as an industrial raw material and medicine, some farmers have begun to specially cultivate this fungus.

But after people picked it, they gradually discovered that it is actually edible, and is non-toxic and harmless. Moreover, since corn itself is starchy and sweet, this corn smut also has a faint sweetness and is very tasty to eat. At the time, farmer friends, in order to increase corn yields, all removed it, which was truly a pity, but its own value is very great

3. The market price of corn smut

Because we all know that in the camp of fungi, their value is very considerable. Now on the market, this corn smut can already reach a price of more than 300 yuan per jin, and this is often the norm. So now many farmer friends are eager for corn to produce this smut, to create higher returns. So this is the continuous improvement of people's level of awareness. Anyone lucky enough to eat this corn smut finds it simply a great delicacy. But if you want to eat it, you still need to earn money well, because after all, the price of 300 yuan per jin is not something you can buy just because you want to, and the average consumption level still finds it hard to reach. You agree, right?

What was originally a fungus deeply hated by corn farmers has now become something some people specially cultivate. What do you think of the “turnaround” of corn smut?
