With the passage of time and the vicissitudes of society, some fruit varieties that were once all the rage have gradually disappeared from our lives. These fruits, which were highly sought after in the 80s, are now hard to find in the market. Looking back on the past, we can't help but sigh that time has passed, and these fruits have also become our nostalgic memories. Their disappearance provokes us to think about traditional and natural tastes, and also awakens our appreciation for precious things.
Sand tomatoes, this small and delicate fruit, used to be a favorite snack of many people's childhood. Unlike the large, tasteless tomatoes on the modern market, the sand tomatoes are small but sweet and juicy. In summer, we can often see these bright red and gold fruits on the stalls at the head of the village, they are not only a taste bud enjoyment, but also a beautiful summer scenery. However, with the rise of industrial cultivation, sand tomatoes have been marginalized by the market and replaced by new, more homogeneous and commercialized varieties.
Quince is another fruit that is fading away, and it first originated in southern China. Although it has an unremarkable appearance, it has an amazing taste. When eaten raw, it is slightly coarse and has a slight sour taste, but when cooked, it becomes sweet and soft. However, due to the boom of the modern fruit market, quince gradually lost its status and was rarely found in the market.
Sweet stalk is a plant that grows in farmland and is native to northeastern China. Although the taste is not as sweet as sugar cane, its unique taste and nutritional value make it a memory of many people's wonderful childhood. However, with the development of modern agriculture and the change of people's tastes, the sweet rod has gradually been forgotten and is difficult to see in supermarkets and vegetable markets.
The peach is a grape-like fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. It is popular in the market for its unique aroma and taste. However, due to the requirements of the growing environment and the instability of market demand, the peach has gradually disappeared from our sight.
Lai grape is a well-known fruit in China during the era, with a golden skin and attractive flesh and red flesh. However, with the change of the times and the change of people's choice of ingredients, the grape has gradually disappeared from people's lives.
Although these fruits have gradually disappeared from our lives, we can try to make them back on our tables by preserving and passing them on.
First of all, we can maintain the provenance of rare fruit varieties by growing and protecting them. Many of the lost fruit varieties still exist in some farmland and mountainous areas, and we can plan and manage them wisely to protect their ecosystems and help farmers pass on their cultivation techniques.
Secondly, farmers can be encouraged to grow traditional fruit varieties by providing technical guidance and market support to help them establish stable sales channels. This not only boosts farmers' incomes, but also preserves and passes on traditional fruit varieties.
In addition, we can also raise awareness of the need to protect rare fruits through stories and cultural inheritance. Many of the lost fruits have a long history and cultural story that can be told to make people aware of the importance of these fruits and inspire them to be aware of their conservation.
Finally, consumers should also try to return to natural and traditional tastes, choosing to buy and support traditional fruit varieties. Through our choices and actions, these vanished fruit varieties can be given a new lease of life and allowed to continue to shine in our lives.
