The western Guangdong and Leizhou Peninsula regions are located in the low latitudes south of the Tropic of Cancer, which belong to the tropical and subtropical monsoon climate, which is regulated by the marine climate all year round, warm and rainy, and sunny. The natural conditions of no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer have created a very rich product in western Guangdong.
This year's harvest of various fruits, I feel that just finished eating lychees, mangoes, yellow peel, longan on the market, longan season is coming to an end, and now it is the turn to eat jackfruit season, this year's various fruits prices are particularly close to the people, very low prices can buy large, sweet and fresh local fruits.
Friends who come to Zhanjiang and Maoming Electric White will find that jackfruit trees (locally known as wood pineapples, bracts) can be seen everywhere, on the street, in the park... Especially in the townships and rural areas of the Leizhou Peninsula, most of the fruit trees planted in front of every household are jackfruit trees.
My grandmother in an old house in Xiashan that planted a jackfruit tree that has been decades old, listen to my grandmother said, this tree is easy to grow, do not need how to fertilize management, every year will blossom and bear fruit, in the previous era, eating fruit is not so easy, a single mature tree pineapple has more than ten pounds of weight, that is very precious, and looking at the big fruit of a tree in front of the door, how happy I am.
I also remember when I was a child in my grandmother's yard, waiting under the tree for my uncle to climb the tree to pick jackfruit, and the family sat around the tree to eat. Grandma also said that in the past, everyone regarded it as a feng shui tree, and every year the fruit on the tree was large and many, joyful, and meant that the children and grandchildren were full of halls.
Jackfruit is full of treasures, ripe flesh is ready to eat, you can also stir-fry vegetables, make pineapple bun filling, the core can also be cooked with salt water to eat, the taste is soft and sticky, better than the taste of chestnuts.
Jackfruit leaves also have a big role, Cantonese people make a kind of food during the New Year's Festival - 籺, when making it, you need to use jackfruit leaves to pad or wrap up and down, steamed out of the leaves will have a faint pineapple leaf fragrance, so it is still a popular snack.
Last week, a friend of mine brought back a few jackfruits from his hometown of Donghai Island to share with us. His family's fruit trees are particularly good, the fruit is particularly sweet, his own family can not eat it, every year he goes back to pick a car back, which is how envious he is in the eyes of friends from other places.
The method of selecting a large tree pineapple mainly looks at three aspects. One is to look at the color. Generally mature jackfruit is golden yellow, buy it can be eaten immediately, if you want to send people or send it to friends, you choose yellow with green, so it is not very cooked or raw, stored for ten days and eight days The skin is golden yellow is the most suitable time; the second is to smell the aroma. Mature jackfruit will emit a fragrance, the more fragrant it means the more mature; the third is to look at the skin. We can gently press on the jackfruit with our hands, if the epidermis can be easily pressed, it proves that the big tree pineapple has matured, and the nails of the skin of the mature big tree pineapple are relatively large, with some small black spots.
Jackfruit is divided into "dry buds" and "wet buds" two kinds, dry buds of the flesh is less water, the texture is hard to form a lump, the taste is relatively crisp, chewy. The wet bud fruit is more watery, the flesh is soft and smooth, and the taste is sweeter. When buying, it is best to ask the merchants who need dry or wet jackfruit, they know best. Let's take a look at the comments of netizens who have eaten Zhanjiang jackfruit ——
"Dry buns are also divided into two kinds of yellow meat and white meat, white meat is sweet, and the rock sugar taste is more delicious than yellow meat."
"Wet buds are sticky and sweet, dry buds are crisp and sweet, each with its own flavor."
"Look at the flesh distinction, the dry bud flesh is hard and crisp, the wet bud flesh is soft, very ripe then the flesh will melt the water rotten, so the wet bud jackfruit is not resistant to transportation, basically only sold locally, because cooked for 1-2 days without eating basically rotten." To be honest, wet buds are much tastier than dry buds, much sweeter, just easily greasy. ”
"Love dry bags, wet bags are not tasty and difficult to digest!"
"Now I don't want to eat it, I eat one a week this month, about 15 pounds each."
It seems that there are many friends who like dry and wet buds, wet buds are sweet, dry buds are fragrant, remember this feature! And some netizens also said that they have a more delicious place of origin in Zhanjiang in their hearts——
"The really delicious pineapple is jackfruit from The Xin'an Plateau in Huazhou."
"If you really want to eat authentic jackfruit, come to Tangwei Village, Linchen Town, Maominghua Prefecture, and eat the package you want to find the taste."
"I bought this pineapple on Chikan Happiness Road last week, the boss said that it was Lianjiang Yingzai, no glue dry bag taste can be, is a little more expensive, 8 yuan 1 catty, is open good."
The climatic conditions in western Guangdong are ideal for the growth of jackfruit. In other places, jackfruit is generally more than 10 yuan a catty of the price. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, this year's harvest of various fruits in western Guangdong cannot be sold at a good price locally, many netizens say so -
"This year's two Guangdong fruit harvest, lychee longan jackfruit is too much, cinnamon flavor 10 pieces of 5 pounds have, longan is now basically 2.5 pounds, a little later 2 pieces, local wet bud jackfruit more, back to the hometown, a lot of ripe no one picked down rotten, jackfruit hot, the elderly and children can not eat more, so rural relatives sent a dozen, I transferred people again."
"Maoming electric white, small four wheels to pull the village to sell, the opening price of 8 cents a pound, the real price of 6 cents a pound to hand, the market price of 1 piece more than a pound." Many people in my village can't finish eating, and no one wants to fall to the ground. ”
"Now I don't want to eat it, this month I eat one a week, about 15 pounds each, on one to sell, 20 pieces of one, this year's fruit is much cheaper than in previous years."
"Our local tree pineapple, three or four cents a pound, coordinates Guangdong Lianjiang Hongjiang Farm."
"I can't eat the fruit of a single tree in my house."
"I also planted a few at home, and it tasted good, but I didn't like to eat them, and I gave them to my friends and neighbors every year."
"I have a wet bun at home, I've never eaten it, there are hundreds of pounds a year, the trees are ripe on the ground, and the neighbor's chickens eat some."
"This year, several opened to send people, humidity, dare not eat, but also feel that this year's taste is not as good as in previous years, and can not eat a few packs, the village has a lot of, every time I go back there are people to send."
"If the postage is self-paying, 2 yuan a pound I will send casually, our village family has it, but no one eats, it is all something that no one wants to eat, mango is also, too cheap."
"Qinzhou 2 pieces a pound, all over the street, dry bags."
"One dollar and one pound in Nanning."
"The jackfruit on the East China Sea Island is delicious, only about two pieces and a pound."
"Electric White High State is everywhere 1 article and a pound."
"There are only 36 blocks of a cart on the side of the road."
...... Such a delicious fruit, in addition to a few particularly good quality, this year's jackfruit is generally only sold in western Guangdong to one or two yuan a catty, and even sell a few cents, which is a pity. Although there was a bumper harvest, it "hurt the farmers at a low price", and the fruit farmers had nothing to lose. Is there any way to open up the market for jackfruit in western Guangdong? Do the majority of netizens have a bit? Welcome to leave a message to discuss. (Author: Mosquito Sister)
