There were two kinds a few days ago, one was: four colors, four colors, and the colors on peanuts were red, white and black; One is double flowers, red and white peanuts. Manager Qin Heping said: The successful breeding of multicolored peanuts also gave peanuts a name. Colored peanut integrates ornamental, edible, nutritional and health care functions, and is suitable for developing and processing high-grade health care leisure food. It has unlimited planting prospects. According to the industry analysis, it will replace the common peanuts in the market at present, so it will take five or six years to meet the demand of the seed market, and it is also a good project for agriculture to adjust the planting structure and increase income. According to relevant statistics, the annual consumption of peanut snack food in the domestic market alone is as high as 80 million tons. If the export and the application of selenium-enriched food are added, the potential market of colored peanuts is huge.
Colored peanuts, like ordinary peanuts, are suitable for north and south, with an yield of 250-300 kg per mu and an oil yield of 1.5 times that of ordinary peanuts. Its protein content is higher than that of soybean, which has great development potential and is one of the industries with the best crop prices in China. From 1996 to 10, "colored peanut" varieties were introduced and cultivated in more than 100 counties in more than ten provinces and cities from south to Sichuan and north to Liaoning, and achieved good economic benefits.
Experts in the industry believe that if colored peanuts are planted in China on a large scale, China's peanut export has an international competitive advantage, which is a leap in the history of peanuts and an effective means to increase farmers' income.
