Planting history of white yam with small white mouth
Cao Zhuang Village, Anping County is located on the north bank of Hutuo River, where white yam has a long history. At the end of Qing dynasty, farmers in this village had the habit of growing vegetables and selling them in the market. At that time, farmers planted one or two or four or five beds of white yam as seasonal vegetables, sold them in rural markets after harvest or presented them to confinement (having children) and sick relatives and friends as a tonic for nourishing the body. Because of its low yield, it has become a rare treasure.

1963 The Hutuo River flooded, and there was a north-south horizontal canal in the cultivated land of Cao Zhuang Village. Because there is a floodgate on the north embankment of Hutuo River, sediment is deposited on the cultivated land for more than one meter, resulting in sandy soil above the cultivated land and fertile soil below. This kind of soil is very suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes. Many years later, the farmers in this village cultivated high-quality white yam commonly known as "Xiaobaizui".

Since the implementation of the production responsibility system, farmers have the right to plant freely, and farmers have begun to transfer Baishan medicinal materials from garden planting to field planting. The planting area is expanding year by year, and the planting area of this village alone is as high as more than 500 mu. The cultivation of white yam has gradually become an industry, and then radiated to the surrounding villages. The planting area has reached more than 2000 mu, and the output can reach 5 million kilograms.

In recent years, Cao Zhuang White Yam has gained a great reputation, and local screen vendors have received rave reviews as gifts of Anping specialty. Now, "Xiaobaizui" Baishan medicine has been exported to Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other large and medium-sized cities, and has been favored by local citizens and become a delicious food on people's tables.

In order to make the white yam industry bigger and stronger, and form a one-stop process of planting, management, storage, transportation and sales, in June 20 13, the village established the "Anping Cao Zhuang White Yam Cooperative", registered the "Caojiazhuang" white yam brand, and uniformly printed packaging boxes and gift boxes, laying a solid foundation for scale and level. Cao Zhuang Village will surely become the distribution center and sales center of "Xiaobaizui" white yam. There is a large supply of white yam. Welcome new and old customers to negotiate purchase.

Anping Jia Chuang White Yam Planting Cooperative is a standardized enterprise integrating development, planting, processing and sales. With a complete and scientific quality management system, the company's integrity, strength and product quality have been recognized by the industry.

White yam is rich in mucus juice, choline, protein, polyphenol oxidase, vitamin C, mannan polysaccharide, phytic acid, 16 amino acids, allantoin, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine and so on. These are important nourishing ingredients, which can tonify the spleen and stomach. Therefore, white yam is not only an important nourishing food, but also an important medicinal material, so it has been "yam yam, medicine in the mountains" since ancient times.
