Summer has arrived, the weather is hot, many areas have broken through the high temperature of more than 35 degrees, at this time, in addition to drinking more water, we also like to eat some fruits, fruits are rich in water, trace elements and various minerals, which can regulate the balance of human nutrition, and among these many fruits, many people are quite fond of mangosteen.
Mangosteen has the effect of clearing heat and reducing dryness, the entrance is sour and sweet, the red shell is wrapped in white flesh, rich in various energy required by the human body, directly eat refreshing appetizers, freeze to eat to quench thirst, helpless mangosteen price is too expensive, in our local bought about 30 yuan a pound, remove the thick shell, just enough for a person to taste fresh, but it does not affect its popularity in the slightest.
As we all know, a mangosteen tree can bear hundreds of fruits, why can it still sell for such a high price, at first many people wondered, is it just because it belongs to the tropical fruit to double the "value"? In fact, this is not the case, after watching the growth and picking process, I found that the original expensive is expensive.
Why mangosteen is expensive to sell, it is mainly divided into the following three points:
1, long growth cycle, high planting costs
Mangosteen belongs to tropical fruits, only in the south is planted, the living environment is very harsh, and mangosteen is not the same as other fruits, about three years to begin to bear fruit, mangosteen needs up to 7 to 8 years of careful cultivation, can bear fruit, the later also need special cultivation, can bear large fruits, during the period to prevent pests and diseases, natural disasters, a little careless will be particles no harvest, so this also led to a reason why mangosteen is expensive.
2, the picking process is troublesome, high labor costs
Mangosteen trees are not like other fruit trees, about 3 meters long to stop growing, mangosteen can grow to more than ten meters so high, which undoubtedly increases the cost of manual picking, and picking mangosteen is also a very dangerous work, the picking process can only be operated by a single person, first climb to the tree, and then also need to borrow special tools, installed in the net pocket, during the period can not have bumps, otherwise affect the quality, so the picking process is very troublesome, and laborious, need experienced personnel to pick, a little careless will affect the quality, Can't sell at the price, this is the second.
3, high transportation costs
Although mangosteen is planted in the south, but the amount is small, the supply exceeds the demand, so many mangosteen need to use the imported way to meet the needs of diners, then transportation has become a big expense, for imported mangosteen, picking down the need to quickly soak in cold water, and then ice cube preservation, and finally packing the whole cold chain transportation, even if this can not be completely guaranteed not to produce consumption, and this is also even in the cost, this is the third.
The above three points are why mangosteen is expensive, so let's share with you how to choose mangosteen, so that you can easily choose a good mangosteen with thin skin and more meat.
1, look at the fruit pedicle
When buying mangosteen, how to determine that mangosteen is not fresh, we can distinguish from the fruit stem, fresh mangosteen fruit stem is blue-green, on the contrary, the fruit stem is dry, there is no moisture and there are signs of wilting, that is, the storage time is longer, not suitable for choice.
2. Look at the bottom petals
Mangosteen bottom petals many people do not know what the role, think this is a feature of mangosteen, in fact, this bottom petal can directly reflect a situation of mangosteen pulp, the number of petals is also corresponding to the number of mangosteen pulp, as far as possible when selecting more than 5 petals of mangosteen, such mangosteen quality is good, the flesh is more than the core is small.
3, the same size of mangosteen, weigh
Many people like to choose a large mangosteen when buying mangosteen, think that the big mangosteen, the meat is more than enough water, in fact, this is not right, the correct way is, combined with the above two selection methods, and then choose the size of the mangosteen, take the weight in the hand, heavy water, good taste, eat sweet and sour.
The above is the method of selecting mangosteen that you can share, is it very simple? Have you learned it after reading it? If you think it will help you, you may wish to collect it or share it with your friends!
