The arrival of summer has never lacked fresh and tempting fruits to celebrate, unicorn melons, concubines laughing, as long as they are shown fast enough, the pace of the season can not keep up with the mouth.
However, horses have lost their hooves, people have lost their hands, and after so many years of running through fruit stalls, even if they have known the taste and price of most fruits, they will always be fascinated by some novelty.
For example, these "fruit assassins" who are attractive in appearance and regret after eating, the following rankings are in no particular order.
Wood turtle fruit
The gac fruit, which looks like a small yoga ball, is called wooden turtle fruit in China, and the color of blood red has a great visual impact, and the taste is not to be underestimated.
"When I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I saw a magical fruit, blood red in color, and evil like the fruit of a demon. The woman selling the fruit watched me stop, stirred up a clump of fruit pulp with her fingers, and asked me in an almost provocative tone, dare I try? Ahem, try it! Sweet inside really feels a little bloody. A group of colleagues who went with me ended up buying a glass of squeezed juice. Do it yourself, pluck up the courage to drink it... ”

Search foreign shopping websites, you can even find a lot of wood turtle fruit juice on sale, once you understand it, you will find that in fact, the pulp of wood turtle fruit is rich in lycopene up to 70 times that of tomatoes.
No wonder it looks so "bloody", but the taste aside, the nutritional value is really high.
Wood turtle fruit is more abundant in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnamese culture has a history of thousands of years, usually by mixing these red seeds with glutinous rice to make sticky rice, called "Xoi gac".
It is eaten on major festivals such as weddings and Lunar New Year, and the red color is very festive.

Many tourists who have traveled to Southeast Asia have been attracted by the bright colors and strange appearance of the wood turtle fruit, but they have not gotten the correct way to eat, and can only leave their mouths full of frightening colors to leave.
However, it should be noted that the seeds of wood turtle fruit are not edible, the seed kernel contains toxic saponins, which will cause vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness and other poisoning symptoms after eating, but can be used for external use, and local doctors will also use wood turtle fruit for the treatment of dry eye.
In general, although the wood turtle fruit is not delicious, it is better than the high nutritional value, and the friends who have been "deceived" can be relieved.
Lucuma
This fruit, which resembles the crystallization of mango and ripe sweet potato, was once also a fragrant feast in the "strange fruit", and in the past few years, curiosities often bought it to try, but the result was that people suffered a "fatal blow".
In fact, lucuma belongs to the post-ripening fruit, that is, it cannot be eaten directly when picking, it needs to be placed at home for 4-7 days, and the skin feels sweet after it matures, and the taste is dry, like egg yolk.
If you eat astringent fruit, it is likely that it is not ripe, and you can't blame the lucuma fruit, people really have no toxicity.
Considering that the taste is acceptable and the pulp is sufficient, the friend who did not do his homework this time has to bear the main responsibility.
Ginseng fruit
The big name of the ginseng fruit is inseparable from "Journey to the West", and the ginseng fruit that was always deceived in the early years generally looks like this thing in the TV series.

Don't think I can't see that you're a pear
It looks like it has begun to take shape, and it is a raw melon egg to eat, but it is actually a mold that unscrupulous merchants put on when the melon and fruit grow, which belongs to the "leather sleeve melon", and there are countless types of melons in the middle.
The ginseng fruit that later resided in the fruit shop was this solanaceous fruit with a beige skin and slight purple stripes.
Ginseng fruit, also called melon eggplant
The fruit most similar to the crime of ginseng fruit is the lotus mist, the taste has been described as eating a lump of cotton soaked in water, the taste is equally dull, but in the eyes of the light mouth, it feels fresh and natural, belonging to the players who will be a little disappointed, but not too far behind, nothing more than some heartache wallet.
Fire ginseng fruit
This fire ginseng fruit (spiny melon) that was fired because of Thanos may be a bad brother ginseng fruit being dissed, and it has also memorized a lot of bad reviews.

Thanos single-handedly brought fire to the fire ginseng fruit that has grown naturally in Africa for many years, and its shape is more like a sea cucumber, and it is cut open but clearly showing its presence as a cucumber genus.
The flesh inside is delicate like a gel, tastes like a combination of banana, lemon and cucumber three flavors, under the fine chewing, so tasteless, large and show the presence of the seed is more unbearable than passion fruit, chewing can not be chewed, swallowing is afraid of a bit of throat.
If you try with the idea of harvesting thanos with the same peripheral, you may have a slight regret index.
Kim Sime
If you can still suppress the impulse to be curious in the fruit shop you frequent, then the "coming and coming" during the tour is a high-level trap laid by the fruit assassins, and Kinn Ximei is a good hand at inviting Jun into the urn.
First rely on the bright and beautiful appearance to attract tourists to stop, this year there is no more attractive than the word "shangxiang" in tourism, without stacking filters, this basket of golden simberes is enough to be dazzling.
Kinshimei looks similar in size to prunes, the golden background reveals a bright reddish-pink color, the surface is hazy, and there is a hint of sweetness when you smell closely, and the sunset-like color scheme makes people want to show off in the circle of friends.
Even locals are sometimes seduced by such beauty, yet similar histories tell us that the price of fascination with beauty is tragic...
Every time the tourist season, you can see many tourists on social platforms to express their taste of food, almost all around these words: liar, sweet, expensive.
"50 yuan to buy two pounds of cheater fruit, all blame the appearance is too high"
"Super unpalatable, plastic sweet taste"
Everyone's reproach can't help but wonder, is kinsey really a naturally grown fruit variety?
Xinjiang prune
Experts in agricultural sciences at the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences said that jin ximei is indeed not a fresh fruit, but a local plum processed into candied fruit, in reality, there is no fruit variety such as jin ximei, just a name that vendors sell for good.
At the same time, because there is no manufacturer and packaging instructions, the color is likely to be the artificial fruit dyed with dyes the day after tomorrow, most of which are three no products, it is recommended that consumers eat cautiously, take a photo, and pay the order can not be necessary.
Seeing here is to understand a truth, the strange fruits on the side of the road are best not to buy, buy expensive regret for ten years, taste a fresh bitter call for days.
Today's fresh chain is so developed, whether it is online or offline to buy fruit channels have become more convenient than ever, but the "fruit assassins" are also indispensable.
After eating fruit for so many years, have you also been "sneaked" by?
