Greater Heat And Beans Planting

Greater Heat is the last solar term in summer, and it is usually on around 23^rd July. This year it’s on 22^nd. Greater Heat is the hottest period in the whole year in China, furthermore during this period, crops also grow rapidly. Because of the frequent meteorological disasters like drought, floods and typhoon, at this time farmers pay more attention to the field management. Timely irrigation will make great difference to the growth of mung bean, kidney bean, soybean etc.

Besides also because of the hot climate, during Greater Heat people always keep their eyes open healthy diet. Green mung bean, wax gourd and bitter gourd are always popular around people. Taking green mung bean as an example, due to its cool nature, people often cook mung bean soup not only to quench their thirst but also to prevent heatstroke.

That’s about Greater Heat. On August 7^th, it’s the first solar term in autumn called The Beginning of Autumn, and we will begin the fall from then on.  If you’re also interested in it, please follow us, sprouting green mung bean, pumpkin seed and peanut leading exporter Taijin Food.
