Don't look at it with a green shell, like a cabbage, after gently cutting... I cried sweetly!
Is shakya fruit a "vegetable" or a "fruit"?
Shakya (jiā) fruit is a fruit. In the Chaoshan Camphor Forest area is also known as "Lin Qi".
Sakya fruit is produced in the tropics and is now cultivated in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangxi and Yunnan. Rare in the northern region.
Because the shell of Shakya fruit is similar to that of lychee, it is also known as cherimoya. (Fan means "foreign, foreign", foreign lychee)
Because its shape is very similar to the hair bun (jì) of "Shakyamuni", it is also called Buddha's head fruit.
The fruit blooms in April and May and ripens in August and November. Although it grows in the tropical regions of the mainland, it also sells for 25 to 50 yuan a pound in the southern market!
Do you want to peel the shakya fruit?
To get the skin.
The skin of the fruit is very thin, and it can be peeled off by hand, and after removing the green shell, the inside is the white flesh.

Remember to spit seeds! The seeds of Sakya fruit are dark brown, slightly larger than watermelon seeds. Usually, eating 1 shakya fruit spits out a handful of seeds.
If relatives and friends come to the house, you can also cut the fruit into small pieces and put them on the plate like cutting watermelon.
【The "strange" eating method of the south】
In the beginning, southerners took Shakya fruit as an ordinary fruit and ate it directly.
However, with the expansion of the planting area, the growers wanted more people to taste this delicacy, so they developed a variety of novel ways to eat Shakya fruit, such as: Shakya fried rice, Shakya lotus mist salad, Shakya citrus smoothie, passion fruit Shakya juice, Shakya fructose water and so on.
Speaking of which, some people are curious about the taste of this Shakya fruit...

Due to the timeliness of picking and transportation, there are 2 kinds of Shakya fruits on the market: fully ripe and 7 ripe.
1, fully ripe Shakya fruit, you press with your hand, its skin is soft. With a little force from the fingertips, it can be pinched open, and the color of the flesh is white.
When you take a bite, it is a sweet smell, mixed with the aroma of lychee. Chewing in the mouth is soft and sticky, like a ripe mangosteen, gently touching the tip of your tongue...
Ripe shakya fruit is as sweet as 25 degrees.
What is this concept? In general, our common fruit sweetness can exceed 18% is already "sweet as honey" degree. The sweetness of lychees is 16 to 20 degrees, the sweetness of sugar cane is 17 to 20 degrees, and the ripe sakya fruit is sweeter than sugar cane!
2, there is no ripe Shakya fruit, it is hard to touch, it is sweet to eat, but it is somewhat astringent.
In order not to let consumers receive "rotten fruit", the growers will pick 7 minutes of ripe Shakya fruit for delivery.
If you buy unripe shakya fruit, don't rush to eat it.
If the room temperature is lower than 14 ° C, it can be wrapped in newspaper and placed for 2 to 3 days, and the shakya fruit can be eaten after the softening!
