The latest news from Xinhuanet this morning:Dandong strawberries are on the market. It can be seen from the ** on the webpage that the ripe Dandong strawberries are big and good, which can't help but arouse people's greed, "the happiness of winter is given by Dandong strawberries".
On the e-commerce platform, in addition to Dandong strawberries, there are also fresh fruits such as jelly oranges, navel oranges, cantaloupe, red heart guavas, cherries and other fresh fruits on the market, which are sought after by many netizens.
Looking at the dazzling array of fruits in the fruit store now, many people think back to their childhood, there are only on the streetApples, persimmons, frozen pearsWait, even these are not cheap, and there are a little more fruits in other seasons, justThese 4 kinds of fruits are getting harder and harder to see, how many more can you buy?
The first is peach. It is the same as the pronunciation of "grapes", so many people will always think of grapes when they hear it for the first time, until they really see the peach, they understand that they are two kinds of fruits, except that the name sounds like, other places are not like it at all, peach, grape bunch, peach on a branch at most a few, grape a branch can not grow dozens of dozens.
If you really want to talk about looking alike, the peach and the loquat look alike, they are all yellow skin, the size is about the same size, and a branch is also a maximum of a few long, if you put these two fruits together, people who don't know will have to admit their mistakes, if you can taste it yourself, it is very easy to distinguish, the peach tastes sweeter as a whole, and the loquat tastes a little sour.
Peach mainly grows in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other southerner places, on the mountain or rural roadside, you can often see one or two peach trees, this thing does not have high requirements for the soil, mainly likes light, it grows soon after planting, its flowering period is particularly good-looking, the fine and dense stamens bloom outward at the same time, several flowers are close to each other, there is a gap between each other, lively and good-looking.
In the past, people could eat less fruits, this peach is delicious and cheap, favored by many people, and it can also be used in medicine, mainly diarrhea, dysentery, knife wounds also work.
The second type is the sweet stick. I believe that many friends who grew up in the years are very familiar with it, at that time, as long as the family farms, there will be a small area left next to it to plant sweet stalks, also called sugar sorghum, at that time sugarcane was not as cheap as it is now, everyone wants to eat something sweet on the sweet stalks, mainly home-grown will take a little effort, do not spend too much money can always eat.
Because it is planted with grain, in order to prevent the children in the village from going to see the sweet rod all the time, the adults agree to pick the sweet stick only after the grain is harvested, and every year the children in the village are looking forward to harvesting the grain and eating the sweet stick.
The sweet rod is like its name, it tastes very sweet, especially slightly, compared with sugar cane, it is a little easy to pull the hand, almost all children who eat the sweet rod have been horned, but compared to its sweetness, the injury is a trivial matter.
There are also special sweet stalks, which are very good for making sugar or making wine, and the remaining stems can be used to feed pigs, and the ears similar to sorghum on the sweet stalks can also be made into brooms.
The third type is the sand tomatoes. If you say to today's children that tomatoes used to taste like jelly, sandy, soft and glutinous, you can suck out a lot of juice in a small bite, and the sweet and sour are particularly delicious, eighty percent of this child doesn't believe it, or eats a bite of the tomatoes in the kitchen according to your description, and then speaks to you with facts to prove that what you say is wrong.
In fact, both of them are right, the wrong thing is this tomato, the previous tomatoes and the current tomatoes are two varieties, the previous tomatoes are what adults describe, at that time, everyone basically kept their own seeds, and a few will be left after a batch of growth, and they will wait until they grow rotten, and then pick them off and knead out the seeds, and leave them for the next planting.
Now farmers plant tomatoes are to the store to buy seeds, produced by professional breeding companies, the tomatoes planted are hard, more suitable for modern logistics and transportation, sacrificing the original sand glutinous taste in exchange for higher yield and more durable, a plant can bear up to 100 catties of storage for more than a month.
In the past, a tomato plant was only about ten catties, most of them were sold nearby, and the farthest distance was from the countryside to the city, and the tomatoes were really ripe, picked up in the morning, shipped out to sell on the same day, and the people who bought them back basically ate on the same day, basically not overnight, fresh and delicious.
The fourth type is jujube. It also has a nice and auspicious name called Wanshou Fruit, which does not mean that eating it can achieve the effect of longevity, but that its fruit looks like a swastika"Swastika", so people call it longevity.
Usually people still call it canopy jujube, as long as you see its real appearance once, you will understand how apt the name is, this thing is not limited to any special growth environment, it is planted in many provinces in the north and south of our country, so many people have eaten jujube when they were young, in their memory, jujube has sour and sweet, it's just a matter of time.
Although the fruit of the jujube is small, it can grow up to 25 meters, as high as a floor, it blooms in May and July every year, and bears fruit in August and October.
In addition to being used as a snack fruit, jujube also has a very large medicinal value, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "sweet taste, flat nature, non-toxic, quenching thirst and removing annoyance, diaphragm heat, moisturizing the five organs, facilitating urine and urine, and the same honey", is an ideal fruit for diabetics, and as early as in the "Book of Songs" there was a record of jujube "Nanshan has wolf".
There are also scholars from the former Soviet Union who specialize in the study of jujubes, believing that jujube is one of the oldest fruit trees on the earth, with a history of 5 million to 10 million years.Peach, sweet stick, sand tomatoes, and jujubes, these four fruits that are about to disappear, were very popular in the 80s, have you eaten them all?
In addition to these, what other fruits do you know that are about to disappear?
