产品特色

《本草纲目拾遗》记载：黑豆即今之马料豆也，其色黑，而形如人腰，故入肾经；黑豆味甘温无毒，壮筋骨，止盗汗，补肾活血，明目，益精; 但食黑豆，则须发不白，其补肾之功可知；服之能益精补髓，壮力润肌，发白复黑，久则转老为少，终其身无痰病也。

李时珍在其所著《本草纲目》中说，豆有多种颜色，只有黑豆既可充当粮食又可做药，所指黑豆就是细长圆小的细腰黑豆。服食黑豆，令人长肌肤，益颜色，填骨髓，增气力。

《本草纲目》还有“李守愚每晨水吞黑豆二七枚，谓之五脏谷，到老不衰”的记载。

人文历史

相传，汉高祖刘邦称帝后，吕后专权，为避祸乱已怀身孕的薄太后隐居于娘娘滩(河曲县城东北7公里处黄河中的小岛)，生下了后来的汉文帝刘恒。

在岛上隐居的艰难日子里，薄太后母德慈仁，不畏艰辛，效法炎帝尝百草兴农耕，发现原为当地居民用作驴马料的野黑豆，人食之不仅可当饭、口感好，而且久食之令人养颜美容、生发黑发、身材健美、神清气爽，并且黑豆还有活血化瘀、除痹去肿、明目舒心、去烦安眠、解百药之毒的特殊功能，有治心痛筋挛、膝痛胀满、产后头风、烦躁恍惚、脱发白发等药用功能。

因其细长圆小、形如人腰，薄太后赐名细腰黑豆，并教民种植，作为主食之一，还传授养生，为民医疾。为感念薄太后恩德，细腰黑豆这一珍贵品种在河曲代代相传，至今仍保持着原始野生品种和天然有机旱作耕作方式。

薄太后赐名“细腰黑豆”、造福当地百姓的美丽传说一直传颂至今：九曲黄河十八弯，传奇莫过娘娘滩；拜得薄后圣母殿，福佑百姓美名传。

Humanistic History

Tradition has it that after Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, Empress Lv held absolute power. In order to avoid disasters, Empress Dowager Bo, who was already pregnant, lived in seclusion at Niangniantan (a small island in the Yellow River 7 kilometers northeast of Hequ County) and gave birth to the later Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng.

During the difficult days of seclusion on the island, Empress Dowager Bo was not afraid of hardships and imitated Emperor Yan to taste herbs and promote agriculture. She discovered that wild black beans, originally used as donkey and horse food by local residents, not only served as food and had a good taste, but also can be consumed for a long time to nourish and beautify the skin, produce black hair, maintain a healthy body, and refresh the mind. Black beans also had special functions such as promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, removing dampness and swelling, brightening the eyes, relieving restlessness and insomnia, and detoxifying the poison. They had medicinal functions such as treating heart pain and muscle contractures, knee pain, postpartum headache, restlessness and dizziness, and hair loss.

Due to its slender, round, and small shape resembling a human waist, Empress Dowager Bo bestowed the name “slender waist black bean” and taught the people to plant it as one of their staple food. She also taught health preservation and provided medical treatment for the people. To commemorate the kindness of Empress Dowager Bo, the precious variety of slender waist black beans has been passed down from generation to generation in Hequ, and still maintains its original wild variety and natural organic dry farming method to this day.

The beautiful legend of Empress Dowager Bo bestowing the name “slender waist black bean” and benefiting the local people has been passed down to this day: The legend of the Yellow River is incomparable to the Niangniangtan. Empress Dowager Bo has blessed the people and passed down a good reputation.

河曲地处草原文化与中原文化的交汇地带，是一座集黄河自然奇景与人文奇景于一体的千年文化名城。

Origin environment

Hequ County is located at the border of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Nei Monggol provinces, facing Fugu County in Shaanxi and Jungar Banner in Nei Monggol across the Yellow River. It is known as the “Bordering Three Provinces”, with a cultivated land area of 541400 mu, an average annual precipitation of 382 milliliters of water, and a frost free period of about 145 days. In history, Hequ has been plagued by perennial drought, fragile ecology, and slow economic development. The folk song “Hequ County and Baode County suffer from year-round crop failures; men go to the north of the Great Wall, while women dig wild vegetables” is a true portrayal of people’s poor lives in the past.

Hequ is located at the intersection of grassland culture and Central Plains culture, and is a millennium old cultural city that combines natural and cultural wonders of the Yellow River.

Hequ has always been known as a “vegetable base” and “small coarse cereal base”. The flat areas along the river are rich in melons and vegetables, while agriculture in the mountainous and semi mountainous areas is mainly focused on detoxified potatoes and small coarse cereals. Small coarse cereals mainly include black beans, millet, etc.
