Have you ever eaten "sweet oranges" that look like oranges and grapefruits? It is a hybrid "hybrid" variety of orange and grapefruit, and it begins to mature and market around December every year. Recently, the reporter visited a number of fruit supermarkets and fresh supermarkets in Suzhou and found that there are not many merchants selling oranges, the price is relatively higher than that of oranges and grapefruit, and most of the customers who are willing to try early are young people.
The reporter saw in a Pagoda fruit supermarket in Wuzhong District that the membership price of oranges from Liuzhou was 10.9 yuan per catty, while the retail price was 11.9 yuan per catty, and the boss wrapped five oranges in plastic wrap and weighed them for sale. The set of oranges purchased by the reporter was two catties, and it was about 23 yuan before the discount. When the reporter asked the clerk about the sales of oranges, the clerk told the reporter: "We buy oranges every year, but there are not so many people who buy them." ”
In a Hema fresh supermarket in Longhu Tianjie, Suzhou New District, the price board of Qingyuan sweet orange pomelo is placed in the center of the shelf, about 750g per box, four pieces a box, the price is 23.9 yuan, but there are no sweet oranges for sale on the shelf. "This variety is new, it has only been on the market this year, and it has not been long, and it has only sold about 10 boxes in a total of 30 days," the person in charge of the supermarket on the side told reporters after scanning the barcode on the price board, and the system showed that there was another box, which should have just been taken away. Ms. Liu, a citizen who has bought sweet orange pomelo, said: "This price is fresh, almost, I have never seen this variety before." In the following two days, the reporter ordered on the supermarket app, and the reply was that "the product is temporarily not on the shelf", and it was not until he went to the supermarket again at 10 a.m. on the third day that he found a box of sweet oranges.
"The moisture is a little dry, it's pure sweet," Ms. Gu, who lives in the high-tech zone, told reporters about the difference in taste, "but it's a little sweeter than the orange grapefruit I bought before." After the reporter bought it, he tasted a Qingyuan sweet orange, the skin is relatively thick, it tastes like a grapefruit, the taste is closer to a sweet orange, and the taste is similar to the grainy grapefruit pulp, and the moisture of the pulp is relatively small. The reporter learned on the Hema Fresh app that the earliest comment on Qingyuan sweet orange pomelo on the app was on January 4 this year. Although it is a new product, it has a total positive rating of 91%. Most people commented that it was "delicious and sweet", and some customers commented that "sweet orange grapefruit has thick skin, little moisture, and is as empty as a citrus".
It is understood that Qingyuan sweet orange pomelo is thicker than Liuzhou orange peel and has the clear fragrance of grapefruit. When tasting, you need to cut the mouth with a knife to make it easy to peel. Grandma Zhang, a citizen who often comes to buy fruit, said: "It is too difficult to peel with bare hands, and the first time we eat it, we cut it directly with a knife." If you have a light taste and like sweet, you should like it. ”
