As the seasons change, the fruits on the roadside stalls gradually become abundant. Recently, I found that the grapefruit on the side of the road is much cheaper than the one in the supermarket, which piqued my curiosity. Is the quality of the grapefruit on the roadside stall not as good as the one in the supermarket? With these questions, I took a deep look and found that there are a lot of "cats" in it.
First, let's understand the operating costs of roadside stalls and supermarkets. Grapefruit in supermarkets need to go through many links to reach consumers, including procurement, storage, transportation, shelves, etc., each of which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The pomelos on the roadside stalls are often grown by the growers themselves, and there are no middlemen to make the difference, so the cost is lower. In addition, grapefruit on roadside stalls may also be a low-price strategy adopted by fruit farmers in order to sell them as quickly as possible during the harvest season.
Secondly, the quality of grapefruit on roadside stalls is not necessarily worse than that in supermarkets. In fact, many of the fruits on the roadside stalls are grown by the growers themselves, who often choose to pick the fruit at the best time to ensure its freshness and taste. Moreover, the pomelos on roadside stalls are often in bulk, and consumers can choose the better quality pomelos themselves, while the pomelos in the supermarket are often packaged and of varying quality.
So, how do we choose grapefruit? First, we can observe the appearance of the grapefruit. The skin of fresh grapefruit is uniform in color, with no obvious depressions or breakages. Secondly, we can try to weigh the grapefruit. Generally speaking, the heavier one of the same size has more moisture and tastes better. Finally, we can observe the flesh of the grapefruit. Grapefruit with full flesh and uniform color tastes better.
In short, the grapefruit on the roadside stall is not necessarily worse than the one in the supermarket, and it is more affordable. When buying grapefruit, we can choose better quality grapefruit by observing the appearance, weighing it, and observing the pulp. If you're looking for fresh, good-tasting grapefruit, try one of the options at a roadside stall.
