Ginseng fruit
A fruit of a foreign plant that has only been cultivated in our country for more than thirty years
An extremely "covetous" fruit identity eventually becomes a beautiful "eggplant" of fruit
Some people say that it is dull and tasteless, and it does not match the identity of fruit at all
Some people say that it is fragrant and sweet honeydew melon, which is the best of the fruit
Just over thirty years
Ginseng fruit in our country from full of expectations to obscurity to fame.
Then the high opened the low, and then reversed, and there is still controversy until now.
All this stems from ginseng fruit's extreme "greed" for fruit identity, of course, this "greed" is not pejorative in Inon's view.
Today, Inon will talk to you about the "covetousness" of ginseng fruit for fruit identity, and give advice to this "eggplant" who does not want to lie flat.
Ginseng fruit is a perennial tropical and subtropical herb of the Solanaceae family, and the vegetable eggplant is a close relative, and in the large family of Solanaceae, there are no fruit members, except that it wants to be an exception.
Native to the ginseng fruit near the Andes Mountains on the South American continent, it has a long history of cultivation and utilization in its place of origin.
After the discovery of the American continent, tomatoes, corn, potatoes and other crops native to the American continent began to spread outward. However, the fruit of life was introduced to China relatively late, and it was not until 1985 that Guangdong carried out experimental introduction from New Zealand.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > went from anticipation to obscurity</h1>
At that time, ginseng fruit in foreign countries, is a combination of fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants in one, comprehensive nutrition, outstanding efficacy, highly respected super crop, so when the domestic early introduction of ginseng fruit, its expectations are very high.
However, due to the unsuitability of the climate environment and the lack of planting technology after the introduction, there are many negative problems at the production end, such as difficult management, many diseases, low yields, and poor quality.

At that time, it was said that it was a fruit, and few people accepted it; it was said that it was a vegetable, and it could not be sold for a price; when it was an ornamental plant, it was difficult to manage. For a time, this highly anticipated crop became a "chicken rib", but fortunately, the introduction of the nutritional effects of the ginseng fruit was only unknown for many years, rather than being directly eliminated.
With the introduction of seeds in many places and the improvement of planting and production technology, the negative problems at the production end of ginseng fruit have been solved one by one, and commercial planting has been realized in many places in the north and south of China (facility planting in the north).
At this point, how to promote ginseng fruit has become a new problem, ginseng fruit has three identities of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants in foreign countries.
At the end of the last century, we want to make ginseng fruit develop rapidly in China, and positioning it as a fruit is definitely better than making "eggplant".
So even if the solanaceae genus, even if the "brothers and sisters" are vegetables, if you want to be different, the identity of this fruit must be "coveted".
Round fruit varieties
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > "coveting" fruit identity starts with taking a "stage name"</h1>
In fact, in the days when we are full of expectations for ginseng fruit and its obscurity, it is not called ginseng fruit.
The original Chinese scientific name of the ginseng fruit is Fragrant Tomato, this name, easy to understand, very accurate, because the ginseng fruit has a fragrance, beautiful, is the fruit of the Solanaceae plant, "Fragrant Tomato" highlights the characteristics of the family, an absolutely good name.
But despite the addition of the word "fragrant", in the end, it will still be understood as an "eggplant".
To become a fruit you have to change your name
So there are many other names such as "melon eggplant", "fragrant pear", "melon pear" and so on.
These names are quite accurate, called "pear" to call "melon" is to highlight the shape of the fruit, and the name has "melon" and "pear", which is also considered to be on the side of the fruit.
But obviously, these names are still not prominent enough, or not domineering enough.
Oval varieties
In the mid-1990s, there were many "stage names" such as "Xian Guo", "Cao Huan Dan", "Longevity Fruit" and ginseng fruit that is now more famous than the scientific name.
Although the name of ginseng fruit was not accurate enough at that time, this "stage name" that could make people think and bring its own traffic really captured the hearts of farmers and consumers, and for a time ginseng fruit became famous.
Supplemented by the promotion and publicity of its nutrient efficacy, the planting expansion speed is getting faster and faster at the planting and production end, and the ginseng fruit at the consumer end has become a high-end fruit with health care effects.
Regarding the "stage name" of ginseng fruit, Inong interjected a digression: At present, some people love to distinguish between true and false everything! Some people firmly say that the real ginseng fruit is the picture below, and the humanoid melon and pear in the mold are fake!
Tracing its origin, ginseng fruit is a fruit fabricated in a novel, one is a "stage name", one is "imitation", why the stage name is true, imitation is false.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > the ginseng fruit that "covets" the identity of the fruit and then opens high and low and turns the tide</h1>
With the resounding celebrity ginseng fruit, under the blessing of the outstanding nutrients and efficacy in the promotion, the ginseng fruit can be regarded as a fruit.
But this alone is obviously not enough to confirm the fruit identity of ginseng fruit.
After all, the only criterion for testing fruit is delicious!
No matter how loud the name is, no matter how prominent the effect, it is not delicious and will not be accepted by the market.
The ginseng fruit we produced in the early days, due to the limitation of varieties and some problems at the planting end, the taste is really not good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that its taste is not as good as cucumber.
Consumers are full of expectations to buy at a high price to taste the early, but did not eat the "fruit flavor", disappointed to the extreme.
The reputation of ginseng fruit has been straight down, and it has been going high and low for many years.
Seeing that the ginseng fruit that "covets" the identity of the fruit is only sold to taste, turning around and making vegetables is by no means the best policy, and the industry has been struggling for many years.
Fortunately, the agricultural people did not give up, and fortunately, the ginseng fruit was very competitive.
Agricultural scientists have selected ginseng fruit varieties with more juice, stronger aroma and sweeter taste, refined the planting process, scientific planting technology, and improved the collection and storage methods.
Ginseng fruit began to have a "fruit flavor", which turned around for a time and gained the favor of many consumers.
The fruit identity of ginseng fruit is "greedy" after all, of course, this "greed" is ultimately the "greed" of human beings, fortunately, in this "greed", there is a fruit called ginseng fruit in the fruit market.
Ripe ginseng fruit
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="63" > written at the end, first talk about the controversy and then make suggestions</h1>
The current attitude towards ginseng fruit has two extremes, there is a big controversy about whether it is delicious or not, in fact, it is normal to have controversy, and the reason is very simple.
First of all, there is no fruit in this world that everyone loves, not to mention that the core of ginseng fruit is still an "eggplant".
Secondly, the misunderstanding, ginseng fruit is not resistant to storage and transportation of fruit, in order to extend its shelf life, may be early picking, and early harvesting on the taste of ginseng fruit has a great impact, even if it is an excellent variety, early fruit picking is also tasteless, feel that it is not delicious may not have eaten ripe fruit. In addition, there are also differences in ginseng fruit varieties, some varieties of fruit are particularly aromatic and sweet after ripening, and some are particularly light after ripening.
In general, the controversy stems from these two points.
The fruit identity of ginseng fruit is solid, but the current industry is still small, still developing, in the personal view of Inong, as a fruit, ginseng fruit has too many limitations.
Only as a fruit to develop, a high probability and faster will take the old road of many domestic fruits that have declined, price reduction, slow sales, no longer planting and so on.
Finally, there is only one point to the development proposal
First extend the industrial chain, ginseng fruit has the capital of nutritional effect; in addition, since the identity of the fruit is "covetous", why not covet the characteristics of vegetables and ornamental plants.
