Wide powder-"Tianshui spicy hot" indispensable soul ingredients

Recently, following Zibo barbecue and "Erbin" ice and snow, Tianshui Malatang "suddenly burst out of the limelight. In fact, behind the hot Tianshui malatang is mainly supported by "star ingredients", such as chili from Gangu, pepper from Qin 'an, flax seasoning oil from Linxia, etc. Of course, the most important core ingredients are "Dingxi wide powder" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" of "Chinese potato capital". Anyone who has rinsed Tianshui Malatang knows that potato chips and wide vermicelli are the indispensable protagonists and souls.

#1 a powder wide world

These "soul mates" of Tianshui Malatang mainly come from Zhuanglang County of Dingxi and Pingliang City. Dingxi is known as the "potato city of China", with high latitude, cold climate, rain and heat in the same season, and loose soil on the Loess Plateau. It is recognized as the golden potato planting area in the world. The potatoes produced are of high quality, smooth color, mellow taste, high starch and dry matter content, and are resistant to transportation and storage. It is the first choice for fresh food and a good raw material for processing. Zhuanglang County is located at the western foot of Liupan Mountain, with cold climate, deep soil layer, sufficient sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night. It is a natural potato suitable area. Now, Zhuanglang is the largest potato planting and production base in Longdong area. It has the advantages of "Zhuangshu series", which is characterized by high content of dry matter, starch, protein and vitamin C. It is a high-quality starch processing variety.

Wide vermicelli or vermicelli is not unique to Gansu, why only "Dingxi wide vermicelli" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" can become the core ingredients of Tianshui spicy hot? In my opinion, in addition to the geographical advantage of being adjacent to Tianshui, there are three most important factors:

One is the high-end raw materials.Potato in Gansu is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other nutrients. The processed starch is white in color, accompanied by crystalline luster, mild in smell, with large particle diameter, high viscosity, low gelatinization temperature, and high transparency., Strong water absorption, high trace element content and other advantages. high quality potato starch provides the core raw material for "wide flour.

Two is the leading technology."Dingxi wide powder" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" both adopt self-ripening extrusion processing technology, and the process is as follows: ingredients and thickening, pulping, blanking, heating, ripening and extruding, continuous freezing and aging, air drying, packaging finished products. The processing is characterized by large output and industrial production and processing. The processing process does not add any starch except potato starch, and the product has a strong taste. It is suitable for cooking and processing such as rinsing, stewing, stewing and stir-frying. At the same time, it can be used for the production of leisure juice wide powder and convenient vermicelli.

Three is excellent quality."Wide powder" is accompanied by potatoes. Potatoes are the characteristic crops of Dingxi and Zhuanglang. For hundreds of years, starch has deposited in people's blood, while wide powder is the food in the soul of local people. "Dingxi wide powder" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" are flexible and waxy but do not lose elasticity. They taste delicate and mellow, and are chewy to eat. Whether stewed, boiled, boiled or brewed ready-to-eat, it has the excellent qualities of smoothness, strength, penetration, elasticity, fragrance and coolness. Now, "Dingxi wide powder" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" are both geographical indication trademarks and "Ganwei" agricultural product brands.

There are reports that "ten thousand sweet potatoes are born in Dingxi, and one powder is wide of the world." It is true.

#2 in the future.

With the help of Tianshui Malatang, a wave of "splashing heaven and wealth", "Dingxi wide powder" and "Zhuanglang vermicelli" have great potential.

According to reports, in recent years, Dingxi City has taken accelerating the development of the "Dingxi Wide Powder" industry as an important path for the potato industry to extend the chain and supplement the chain and a breakthrough for industrialization to lead the agricultural industry to catch up with the development. It has built a public regional brand of "Dingxi Wide Powder", promoted standardized production, large-scale operation, industrial development and brand marketing, built a new development track, we will continue to improve the industrial system, cultivate and form agricultural brands with Dingxi characteristics and market influence, and realize chain extension development, output value expansion and industrial income increase.

At present, "Dingxi Kuanfen" has 120 production and operation entities and more than 70 physical stores, with a production capacity of more than 200000 tons. According to statistics, sales of "Dingxi wide powder" exceeded 3 billion yuan in 2023.

"Zhuanglang vermicelli" is a traditional product of Zhuanglang, all made of pure potato starch. The vermicelli is well-proportioned, smooth in texture, delicious in strength and good in quality. It has the characteristics of being resistant to cooking, long in retention period and convenient to eat.

In recent years, Zhuanglang County has implemented the "specialized, special and new" potato small, medium and micro enterprises cultivation action, supported leading enterprises to increase technological research and development, solve technical problems, introduce new green, high-quality and high-yield varieties, and strive to achieve an annual processing capacity of 400000 tons of potato products in the county, The product conversion rate is more than 50%. Hongda Starch Company and Xinxi Starch Company, two leading provincial enterprises in Zhuanglang County, have developed and produced potato products such as potato handmade vermicelli, new product juice wide powder and potato protein, increasing the added value of the products.

In fact, not only Tianshui is welcoming this wave of "splashing the sky with wealth", I believe Gansu's potato deep processing enterprises have seen "potato light" from it. Whether it is wide flour or vermicelli, it is just a different name. However, the potato starch deep processing industry must have unlimited potential and can be expected in the future.
