Everyone remembers that you can eat some peaches appropriately, since ancient times, peaches have the meaning of "longevity", and the cakes for the birthdays of the elderly have peaches on them, which is the meaning of hoping to live a long life.
In addition to the meaning of longevity, peaches also have a saying of warding off evil spirits in folklore. People would fold a little peach branch around the Dragon Boat Festival and put it on the window, and take a few peaches and put them on the table. Even if there are unclean things that follow the family all the way, they will walk away when they see peaches and peach branches.
The second kind of blessed fruit: apricots
There is a folk saying called "eat an apricot in the Dragon Boat Festival, and it will not be harmful to the old", which means that eating an apricot on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival will not get sick until it is old. It can be seen that the weight of apricots in the hearts of the people is heavy.
Apricots are sweet and sour, rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and so on. When we buy apricots, we try to pick apricots with no broken skin, less fluff and full yellowing.
The third kind of blessed fruit: cherry
Around the Time of the Dragon Boat Festival, when cherries are on the market in large quantities, the juice is sufficient, it is sour and sweet to eat, and it is particularly refreshing and appetizing. Cherries are called "natural aspirin" and are rich in protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, carotene, vitamin C and so on.
When we pick cherries, we first look at the color, and the cherries look red and purple, which proves that they are ripe. In fact, depending on whether there are indentations and damage on the surface, the cherry looks like it is not full of peels and wrinkles. Finally, let's take a look at the stem, if the stem of the stem is dry and black, don't buy it, it has been picked for too long.
