Have you eaten kiwi fruit lately?
After bagging in April, expanding in June, and turning sugar in July, the kiwi fruit finally ushered in the harvest in August, and the sweet kiwi fruit will reach the peak of sales in August and September, and the kiwi fruit from all over the market will be listed.
But the other day, I ordered a fruit salad to eat, and the kiwi fruit inside was hard and sour, and the taste was really not good.
When is kiwi fruit best to eat?
On this question, I consulted the large kiwi sellers in jiaxing fruit market, and inquired about this year's kiwi market.
1] The country's largest fruit market kiwi fruit on the new
Why inquire about the fruit market to find the Jiaxing market?
Here I first come to popularize the grading of the fruit market, Hangzhou people are more familiar with the Hangzhou fruit market is a secondary market, merchants will buy goods from the port and the primary market.
Jiaxing fruit market is a primary market, at present, this market is also the first professional market in the country's fruit trading volume.
In the market with fresh fruits in all seasons, how spectacular is the trading scene?
For example, in the imported fruit trading area, there are large cars sitting in rows every day, like the tropical fruit jackfruit of the more popular Internet celebrities, there are more than 100 cabinets of jackfruit traded at the same time every day, which is also the largest jackfruit trading center in the country.
This season, the sunshine rose grapes we see in the supermarket are all dozens of pieces a catty, and the wholesale price here is 6 yuan / catty.
2】 Domestic kiwi fruit is in full production this year, have you heard of the quality of the camera?
Back to the point, we're focusing on kiwifruit today.
This year's kiwi fruit was first listed in mid-July, and compared with last year, it is a little earlier, and the price fluctuation is large.
Kiwi fruit must go through an obvious post-ripening process, soft before eating, which exists in a "quality box", basically just picked back the fruit is hard, the general consumer can not immediately judge its quality of the good or bad, to the early picking, green fruit listing to leave room, for inferior fruit into the market to lay the groundwork.
Kiwifruit on the market is roughly divided into three categories: the first ripening of green meat, the easier to sell is Xuxiang, Cuixiang these two varieties; then the market is the red heart and yellow meat of the red sun, the main production area is Sichuan; the latest ripening is the yellow meat kiwifruit, mainly Jinyan, Jinguo these two varieties.
From a regional point of view, Shaanxi is still a large province for kiwifruit cultivation, and Zhouzhi County is known as the "hometown of kiwifruit", with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons, and the varieties are mainly ordinary green-flesh kiwifruit. Sichuan Pujiang and Henan Xixia mainly cultivate red heart and yellow meat kiwifruit.
Why hasn't kiwi fruit eaten lately?
Hu Jiajie, a large wholesaler of kiwifruit, told the hourly news reporter: "On July 20 this year, Shaanxi's green-flesh kiwifruit was first listed, but the fruit picked at that time was not ripe, and it was hard to eat and had no taste. ”
Because it is not ripe, the kiwi fruit sold in late July is not easy to sell, and the fruit supermarket does not like to buy such goods, only the secondary market will come to wholesale, and Hu Jiajie's stall will take more than 10 tons of goods a day.
"Kiwifruit likes luke weather, this year's climate is very suitable for its growth, Shaanxi, Sichuan these two major production areas basically increased production by 20%, because the quality is better than last year, this year's market wholesale prices have also increased by 20%." Hu Jiajie said.
Kiwi fruit in the market, Xuxiang wholesale 3-4.5 yuan / jin, Cuixiang wholesale 3.5-5 yuan / jin, while last year Xuxiang wholesale price was only 2 yuan / jin; Hongyang wholesale price 5-9 yuan / jin, last year was 4-6 yuan / jin.
After August 20, the kiwi fruit began to enter the ripening period, and the taste of the kiwi fruit picked in the past two days has increased significantly, and sales have also risen. At Hu Jiajie's stall, more than 50,000 kilograms of kiwi fruit can be sold a day, including nearly 40,000 kilograms of green meat Xuxiang and Cuixiang, and 15,000 kilograms of red yang in the heart of the red heart.
After September 10, the yellow meat kiwi fruit will be mined. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Jiajie's stall could sell 100,000 kilograms of kiwi fruit on the previous day.
After selling fruit for 16 years, Hu Jiajie feels that the taste of kiwi fruit that is picked and sold is the best, and if you like to eat it, the best time to buy is around September until mid-to-late October every year.
Whether it is Sichuan or Shaanxi, generally before October 20, kiwi fruit must be picked, stored in cold storage, and then sold until April of the following year, the taste of the kiwi fruit sold in refrigeration is naturally not as good as that of freshly picked.
