Introduction to Yangqu Xiaomi

Xiaomi is a grain made from husked millet, named after its small grains with a diameter of about 1 millimeter. Originating from the Yellow River Basin in northern China, it was the main grain crop in ancient China, so the Xia and Shang dynasties belong to the "millet culture". Millet is drought tolerant and has a wide variety of varieties. It is commonly known as "millet with five colors", including white, red, yellow, black, orange, purple millet, as well as sticky millet. The earliest Chinese liquor was also made from millet. Millet is suitable for growing in areas with drought and lack of irrigation. Its stem and leaves are relatively hard and can be used as feed, usually only large livestock such as cows, horses, and sheep can digest them. Xiaomi is originally from China and has a cultivation history of about 8000 years

The millet produced in Yangqu is called "White Horse Palm Xiaomi". There are roughly two new varieties, one called Dongfeng Liang and the other called cinnabar red, which are rich in nutrients and contain higher levels of fat and protein than rice and wheat. The "Dongfeng Liang" millet, also known as "Dongfangliang", began to be planted during the Xia and Shang dynasties. Because its grain ears resemble small thatch, it is also nicknamed "Maojian Valley". The characteristics of Baima Palm millet are beige and golden, shiny, full rice grains, suitable for steaming and cooking, sweet and fragrant rice taste, and the viscosity of the boiled porridge is just right. The rice grains swell and are full, and the porridge and rice grains blend together, sweet and delicious

How did the history of Yangqu Xiaomi come about

Xiaomi is bred and domesticated from wild "dog sage". The millet cultivated around the world today is all transmitted from China. The cultivation area of millet in the world is about 1 billion mu, with China having the largest and highest total yield, mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other areas

Xiaomi is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Poaceae family. It prefers warmth and has strong adaptability. The agricultural proverb 'Only green mountains dry up bamboo, and no fields dry up millet' indicates that millet has outstanding drought resistance. It is both drought resistant and barren, and not afraid of acid and alkali, so it is planted in arid and barren mountainous areas in both north and south of China. According to maturity, it can be divided into early, medium, and late ripening; Glutinous millet and japonica millet can be classified based on their grain viscosity
