When buying kiwifruit, I was hesitant to choose between "soft" and "hard" until I met a wise and experienced old grower. His words were full of understanding of nature, which gave me a new perspective on how to buy kiwifruit. That day, I went to a farm hoping to find some fresh fruit. Standing in the midst of the verdant orchard, I felt as if I saw a group of monkeys jumping and playing among the treetops. These playful little creatures complement those plump kiwis, which together exude a vibrant vibe.
Just as I was reveling in the beautiful picture, an old fruit farmer with a calm expression and a wrinkled face walked up. His wise eyes reveal a deep love for nature. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hello, what is your experience with kiwifruit?"
Do you choose 'soft' or 'hard'?" replied the old farmer with a smile, his voice like a melodious string: "Young man, I can see that you are full of enthusiasm for kiwifruit. In fact, the most important thing in buying kiwifruit is to observe the appearance and texture. 'Soft' and 'hard' are not the only options.
Pointing to a brightly colored kiwi with tiny grains, he said, "This is what we call a 'hard' kiwi." They are usually more sour and crisp on the palate. It is suitable for people who like sour taste, and can also be used to make jams, jellies, etc. He then turned to the smooth-looking, dented-cut kiwis: "These are 'soft' kiwis, which are sweeter, juicier and softer." If you're looking for a delicate and sweet taste, this is the one for you. However, it should be noted that the choice should not be too soft.
After a pause, the old farmer continued: "In addition to the appearance, you can also judge by smelling the aroma of kiwifruit. If there is a strong fruity aroma, it means that this kiwi is fresh. At the same time, pay attention to the color of the flesh, which will take on a bright green or yellow color from fresh kiwi flesh. His words seemed to open a window for me to gain a deeper understanding of how to buy kiwifruit. I was impressed by his awe and love for nature, and I deeply realized that each fruit has a unique quality. So, I raised a smooth-colored kiwi in my hand and sniffed it gently, and the fruity aroma came to my nose.
Then, I held it, feeling the softness and elasticity of it. In this moment, I knew clearly that this was the kiwi of my dreams. The moment the old fruit farmer waved goodbye to me, I was very emotional. Buying kiwifruit is not only a choice to satisfy the taste buds, but also an in-depth dialogue with nature and wisdom. With a firm stride, I took this piece in my hand and carried the teachings of the old fruit grower, and began the gastronomic journey of my life.
