藏红花最初种植于地中海地区,按重量计算,它是世界上最昂贵的香料。 它来自藏红花(Crocus sativus)。 考虑到这种香料在市场上的高昂价格,您可能会惊讶地发现它的种植是如此简单。

如何种植番红花

  • 秋季开花的紫花番红花是从一种叫做球茎的鳞茎状结构中生长出来的。 球茎在春季或初秋种植。
  • 藏红花的气味有点像香草和香料,干柱头为西班牙海鲜饭、米饭和肉汤等食物增添了独特的风味。
  • 要种植番红花,首先要有高质量的球茎,可以从几家不同的网络公司以合理的价格购买,包括 Nature Hills Nursery 和 Brent and Becky's Bulbs。
  • 选择排水良好、土壤富含有机质的种植地点。
  • 春季或初秋种植球茎,深度约为四到六英寸。
  • 一旦种下,直到深秋才会看到鳞茎发芽。
  • 当秋季花朵盛开时,人们会从花朵上摘下拉长的橙红色柱头。 这种香料的花朵很小,柱头就像一条条橙色的小线,因此大量采摘这种香料非常耗时(因此价格不菲)。
  • 将收获的柱头铺在饼干板上,在温暖的房间里晾干,直到柱头容易碎裂。
  • 每个鳞茎产生一朵花,每朵花产生三个柱头。
  • 花朵凋谢后,您可以轻轻挖出番红花,将鳞茎分开,然后立即重新种植。 每年这样做很快就会形成一个庞大的鳞茎群,但如果您只想每隔三四年做一次这项工作,也没有问题。 只要记住在鳞茎过于拥挤和影响产量之前将它们分开就可以了。
  • 如果您居住的地区气温经常低于零下 10 华氏度,请务必在植物开花后不久在种植地覆盖几英寸厚的稻草或堆肥。
  • 藏红花干放在密闭容器中,可保鲜两年。
