Whether it is a supermarket or a variety of markets in our countryside, fruits are becoming more and more refined, and there are many types of fruits and fresh, but the prices are relatively higher.
In the countryside more than ten years ago, there were not many types of fruits, but some pure natural "people-friendly" fruits were also bred, which were very common in the fields.
It's just that these fruits have been eliminated, and now these fruits rarely have the taste of childhood, the following 4 kinds of fruits, all of which are memories of the 70s and 80s, are difficult to see now, have you ever eaten them at that time?
Sweet poles
There are knots on the body that are not bamboo, and the thick ones can be as thick as hoes, and the children can't grasp and gnaw enough, and the old people have no teeth and complain. - Hit a fruit.
When you see this riddle, can you guess which fruit it is? The answer is sugar cane.
When we were children, we ate a natural fruit that is very similar to today's sugar cane, which is what we call a sweet rod in the old saying.
The scientific name of the sweet stalk is sweet reed millet, at that time we didn't know what it was called, we can often see it in the corn field, some call it sweet sorghum, and some call it sweet stalk.
The sweet stalk is really sweet, it is not as hard as the skin of sugar cane, the skin of the sweet stalk is relatively crisp and soft, it is easy to peel off, and people with bad teeth can eat it.
Although the sweet rod is delicious, the skin is also easy to peel off, just bite it with your mouth, but the skin is easy to cut your hands and mouth.
At that time, there were actually a lot of snacks, such as sorghum syrup, prawn crisp, and stove fruit, but in July and August, I was hungry for the sweet stalks in the field.
There are many knots of sweet sorghum, and generally the sweetest is the middle section. I still remember when I was a child, adults took me to the field to collect firewood, and I came across a piece of sweet sorghum, so the adults broke half of it and peeled it for me to eat.
Sweet reed millet is not only edible, but can also be made into a useful tool. In the countryside, sweet rods are made into brooms for our families, and the ripe ears are dried and woven with old techniques.
Leper grapes
The name sounds like another variety of grapes, but it's not a grape and has the unique appearance of bitter melon.
The leprosy grape is actually a variety of the Cucurbitaceae family, which is related to bitter gourd, and it is really difficult to distinguish it from bitter gourd.
Some people will also wonder why the leper grape looks like a bitter gourd, and why it is called a grape? This is because the leaves of the leprosy grape are very similar to the leaves of the grape, and they are also vines.
The old saying of leprosy grapes is also called leprosy gourd, golden gourd, and golden golden appearance called golden bell, which generally grows in areas such as warm areas in the south.
Eating grapes is not like eating bitter gourd to eat the outer skin, peeling off the leprosy melon inside is a fiery red fruit, the arrangement and combination is very similar to garlic cloves, soft and sweet flesh, the taste is very special.
At that time, rural people often planted it in their own yards, and this kind of leprosy grape was very rare for adults and children.
Eating leprosy grapes is also necessary to master the time, otherwise it will be similar to the bitter taste of bitter gourd, and you must wait until it is ripe.
The most obvious feature of the ripening of the leprosy is the appearance of cracks, and the ripe fruit of the leprosy is sweet and looks very attractive.
Lai grape is actually a very niche fruit, I believe that many people have not seen it now, in today's market can be said to have disappeared, once in the countryside was all the rage.
Thatched tip
Those in the countryside should be familiar with it, and it basically appears on small hillsides or fields. As the old saying goes, it's called thatched tip, and its big name is thatched needle.
When the thatch first sprouts in the spring, the flower spikes in the budding stage are what we call the thatch tip, and the thatch tip at this time can be eaten raw.
As soon as the spring rain rises, on the hillsides where there is sunshine, and in the fields, the thatch needles emerge and grow a large area.
The grass needles have no extra leaves, they are buried deep in the earth, and they are pulled out with a "squeak", and the outer skin is peeled off, and what can be eaten is the "white hair" formed inside.
Although the flower spike is not chewy, it is very soft and sweet, and it has a fragrant feeling.
Although Mao needle is not a fruit, in that era, fruits were not so abundant, and they all ate the usual fruits such as apples, pears, and watermelons.
When I was a child, I went to the mountains with my friends to play, and I stumbled upon a thatched tip, so I looked for and collected it together like looking for treasures, and I would find more than anyone else, and take it home to eat together, so to speak, it is our unique "gluttonous fruit" after 70 and 80.
Sand tomatoes
There is a kind of vegetable, which is also a kind of fruit, from the beginning to the present, both adults and children like it, but there is one difference, that is, the previous tomatoes are more pure.
There is a special variety of tomatoes, I believe everyone has eaten them, that is, sand tomatoes, which are very soft and glutinous, and the juice is relatively rich.
I remember that in the past, I usually planted a few tomato saplings at home, and when the tomatoes were ripe, I would pick them directly.
I rubbed it clean on my clothes and ate it directly, and it was really sweet and sandy when I took a bite, and a lot of juice flowed out.
Such delicious tomatoes are now a "rare" variety, and at some point, there are fewer and fewer tomatoes, and now they are almost invisible.
With the passage of time, the tomatoes are not so red, the sweet taste has become less, relatively a little sour, and all the juice.
Now there are more and more varieties of tomatoes on the market, small tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, strawberry tomatoes, millennial fruits, yellow Linglong, yellow roman, and there are quite a lot of them, but the taste is not as delicious as the sand tomatoes of the year.
Almost all of the tomatoes in a bag are sandy, and only a small area may have a rustling texture.
epilogue
These "fruits" were very common in the countryside in the past, they were located next to the home, and they were also grown at home, so they could basically be eaten without buying them, and they were full of memories.
There are a lot of kinds of fruits now, but some of them feel less sweet than before, and these four fruits are not common now, if you don't mention them accidentally, you can't think of them.
