There is a kind of fruit in China, which was once called "hardcore crops", which shows its rich nutrition and value, but it is such a fruitNow it occupies only a small part of the Chinese market, and even its fresh fruit sales are not as good as dried fruit sales, why is it?
This fruit is persimmon, and it may be called persimmon in some places because of cultural differences, but the two are completely different. Persimmon is a fruit that has a long history in ChinaIt has a history of about three thousand yearsAccording to records, it first appeared in the Shandong Peninsula area, and it was called "hardcore crops".
In the case of underdeveloped agricultural level in ancient times, the value of crops is not only wealth, but also the material for survival, and persimmons can be compared to crops, which also proves its yield and edible valueThe annual yield of an adult persimmon tree can reach 1,000 cattiesMoreover, the environment and climate required for planting are not harsh, and planting and production can be carried out throughout China.
And a persimmon tree, different from the crop plant,Its lifespan can reach up to 100 yearsIt can produce persimmons for a long time and stably, which was also an excellent food in ancient times, and even once upon a time it was a noble delicacy.
Persimmon is not only popular in ancient times, but even more so in modern times, it can be used as a staple food to provide people with the energy and nutrients needed by the body, and once became a lifesaver for the periodAnd the meaning represented by persimmon is also excellent.
Ripe persimmons have orange-yellow, orange-red and other colors, and they are relatively round, very festive, and the name of persimmon can also be used as persimmon Ruyi, becoming a good gift for people to visit relatives and friendsThe implication is that good nutrition is also goodThis is also one of the reasons why persimmons were once very popular.
Its value also makes the people who grow it reap a lot, especially in the case that there are not many types of fruits, this fruit has become one of the few choices, and naturally the sales have increased a lot.
The nutritional value of persimmon itself is also very richAs a fruit, there is a lot of water and sugar inside, which is very helpful to the human body, at least when food is scarce, it is a good food, and secondly, it is rich in vitamins, carotene, etc., and also has dietary fiber.
These nutrients not only meet the needs of the human body, but also improve eyesight, have a laxative effect, and are not only edible in the fruitEven its bark and leaves can be used as traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body.
It is mentioned in the "Compendium of Herbs" that the persimmon fruit moistens the lungs, its leaves can clear heat and detoxify, and the roots can be sore throatIt can be said that persimmons are treasures all over their bodies. Even in modern medicine, persimmon has some effect on chronic bronchitis, how such a fruit is not loved, which is why it was once so popular.
But with the passage of time, persimmons are unknown in China, as if not many people eat persimmons, or there are fewer people who plant them, and their share in the market is gradually decreasingEspecially in recent years, persimmons are very rare, so why have so many of the above-mentioned advantages?
First of all, the loneliness of persimmons has something to do with the development of today's marketIn today's fruit market, the variety of fruits is overwhelming, due to the development of transportation, even tropical fruits have very good sales, and the nutritional value of other fruits is not low, persimmons do not have so many advantages, and now there is no shortage of food, it does not have the role of replacing food.
The second is that there are problems in the picking and transportation of persimmons themselvesPersimmon is generally soft and waxy after ripening, and the persimmon skin is very fragile, can not be mechanized when picking, and manual words are very time-consuming and laborious, and its value is little after a little careless skin.
And such characteristics,It needs to be better protected during transportationIn this way, the value can be guaranteed, and this is a large expense, and the persimmon is ripeThe shelf life is relatively shortAs a result, the profit from growing persimmons is very limited, and the taste of persimmons is also problematic.
Although persimmons are sweet when ripe, there will also be an astringent feeling, especially after the persimmon species become diversified, many persimmon varieties taste uneven, and over time, some people will not like persimmonsEven nowadays fresh persimmons are not as popular as dried persimmonsAnd this is one of the reasons why persimmons are lonely.
And the loneliness of persimmon is not only related to itselfIt is also related to some rumorsAmong them, eating persimmons will produce stones in the body, eating them with seafood is like eating poison, and those with a weak spleen and stomach can't eat them, etc., the spread of these rumors has made the competitiveness of persimmons plummet.
In fact, these rumors are mixed true and false, and they exaggerate the facts. The so-called eating persimmons will get stones, because persimmons contain tannins, this substance and gastric acid Middle East protein can form gastric stones, but this is a prerequisite condition, that is, it can happen when eating a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, so there will be nothing wrong with a moderate amount of persimmons after meals.
Secondly, it cannot be eaten with seafood, which is based on the rumor that persimmons cannot be eaten with sea crabs. It is true that persimmons and seafood will produce a certain amount of toxins, but the amount is not a threat to the human body, unless a person eats a large number of persimmons with hundreds of catties of seafood may be poisoned.
For example, the human body is inseparable from the replenishment of water, but drinking a lot of water will lead to water poisoning, people cannot do without oxygen, but excessive oxygen intake will cause aging, and so onThese need to be controlled within a certain amountAnything used in large quantities can have a certain impact, and these exaggerated facts and alarmist claims are complete swagger.
As for the saying that the spleen and stomach are weak and cold should not be eaten, whether it is recorded in ancient books or modern medicine, but persimmons are cold, but there is also a problem of quantity, and the nutrients of persimmons are extremely high, and the benefits to the body also exist.
In fact, any food,It's much better to know the right way to eat itFor example, sea urchins are poisonous marine creatures, and if you handle them well, it is also a nutritious delicacy, and if you eat too many fruits such as pineapple, you can also have mouth ulcers, but after soaking in salt water, it will be very sweet and not prone to mouth ulcers.
The same is true for persimmons, if the skin of the persimmon will be astringent, you can completely remove the skin, take its pulp and juice to use, in winter it can also be frozen as a whole, after melting with water, it is a taste, the taste is also excellent, and then it is dried as a persimmon cake to use.
When eating persimmons, it is best to choose them as after-dinner fruits, as long as they are reasonably matched with food, persimmons are also very good food, and they are not as unbearable as the rumors sayAfter all, persimmons used to be a treasure that could be compared to crops.
Of course, with the improvement of people's quality of life, the choice of fruit is more varied, persimmon is no longer one of the few choices, do not like to eat will not buy again, choose the best for yourself, and eat it reasonably with nutritional value.
