Preface
"I thought it was imported, but it turned out to be homemade!"
Recently, Harbin sent a thank you gift from Guangxi to sugar oranges, and finally it sent fresh cranberries as a thank you.
In the face of this thank-you, the whole network was shocked, and never thought that the most surprised person was the Northeast locals.
You must know that the total output of cranberries in Fushun in Northeast China accounts for 44% of the total output in Asia, ranking first in Asia!
In this regard, the locals in the Northeast knew nothing, and this grand meeting of the integration of the north and the south achieved the result that only the northeasterners were injured.
But what many people don't know is that the establishment of the Northeast Cranberry Base can be described as a critical order, and its success has also broken the monopoly of the United States and other countries on cranberries.
What happened back then, and how did the Northeast have such a huge cranberry production base?
1. Difficulty
One of the most surprising things this winter is that cranberries are one of the specialties of Northeast China.
You know, many people's impression of cranberries is either imported or produced in the south of the mainland, and they can't imagine that in the northeast of the mainland, the coldest region of the mainland, there is the largest cranberry base in Asia.
What's even more surprising is that if it weren't for this return gift from the Northeast, even the locals wouldn't know that cranberries turned out to be a specialty of the Northeast.
When the locals in the northeast were asked by the southerners, they all laughed and said: This cranberry is not delicious at all, it is very sour.
I can't wait to bite my teeth behind my back, and I have never seen dried cranberries for many years in the Northeast, let alone fresh cranberries.
However, the emergence of the Northeast Cranberry Base, that is, the Red Sea Cranberry Base, broke the blockade of the cranberries on the mainland by the United States, Canada and other countries.
In the early years, there was indeed no domestic cranberry in the mainland market, although the mainland introduced North American cranberries in 2010 for research, but because of the influence of planting technology, conditions and other factors, there has been no breakthrough.
On the other hand, because of the improvement of the lives of the people in the mainland and the fact that the cranberry itself is rich in a variety of nutrients, it is very popular in the mainland market, especially for mainland women.
In 2017, the mainland imported more than 8,000 tons of cranberries from the United States.
What many people don't know is that as early as 2017, the mainland became the second largest "financier" in the U.S. cranberry market.
However, because of the vacancy of cranberries in the mainland market, countries led by the United States can easily form sanctions on the mainland in terms of cranberries.
According to the 21st Century Business Herald, in 2019, the global cranberry jelly fruit reserves reached a record low, and what is even more terrifying is that the United States, Canada, Chile and other countries have almost monopolized the global export of cranberries.
This year, the global cranberry market was in short supply, and it was also in this year that the mainland had a bumper harvest of cranberries that had been studied for many years, breaking the status quo of the mainland's dependence on imports of cranberries in one fell swoop.
It is the Red Sea Cranberry Base, and it is also the only cranberry base on the mainland.
However, the bumper harvest in 2019 was not simple, and in 2010, the mainland began to try to terminate the research of cranberries in the mainland.
In 2015, the mainland made a breakthrough in the research of cranberries, so it also expanded the scale of cranberry cultivation.
In order to build a cranberry capital that belongs to China, in June 2017, the Fushun government and the Heilongjiang Academy of Sciences joined forces to establish a professional organization integrating processing, trade, and branding.
What's more, they began to create the first cranberry-themed cultural festival on the mainland.
It is also in this way that when the global cranberry crisis occurs in 2019, the mainland can stand out and become a shining new star in the world cranberry industry.
According to data, by 2019, the planting area of the Red Sea cranberry base reached 4,200 acres, and most importantly, about the yield of cranberries.
The yield of one acre of cranberries is equivalent to 50 acres of rice and 100 acres of corn, and such a huge output not only meets the domestic demand of the mainland, but also makes the mainland the second largest importer of cranberries in the United States.
It also completely reversed the import and export relationship between the mainland and the United States in cranberries.
So, what exactly is the effect of cranberries? They are so popular all over the world!
Second, the miraculous effect
As we all know, cranberries are very popular with women, because cranberries are rich in proanthocyanidins and vitamin C, which have a certain beauty effect.
However, this effect is only a trivial part of the other effects of cranberries.
I believe that many people are familiar with E. coli, and even hate it, because if you are not careful, it will cause physical discomfort, especially urinary tract infection.
Surprisingly, cranberries have a good effect on preventing urinary tract infections, and scientists have been certified to do so as early as 1998.
The proanthocyanidins in cranberries are concentrated tannic acids, which have obvious anti-bacterial adhesion properties, so they have a miraculous effect in blocking the adhesion of E. coli to the urethra.
In addition, cranberries have good antibacterial properties, and some studies have shown that cranberries have a great effect on the prevention of gastric ulcers, gastric cancer, and duodenal ulcers.
The reason for this is that cranberries can inhibit the development of spirobacter to a large extent.
Surprisingly, cranberries are also very effective in protecting our teeth.
Cranberries contain a large number of active substances, which have a miraculous effect on antibacterial, and it can actually break down the bacteria in the mouth, thus playing a certain role in protecting our teeth.
In addition to the antibacterial effect of cranberry, its antioxidant effect is also eye-catching.
When it comes to antioxidants, I believe many women who love beauty are familiar with them, but the antioxidants here do not only refer to the antioxidant properties of the facial skin, but it has a benign effect on our body.
Because cranberries contain a variety of flavonols, they have strong antioxidant activity.
Not only can it inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (that is, "bad" cholesterol), but also has a certain protective effect on human cardiovascular health.
What's more, cranberries can be said to be natural "blood pressure medicine"!
As people's lives get better and better, hypertension has become one of the most common diseases today, and it covers a wider range of ages.
Originally, hypertension was mainly concentrated in the middle-aged and elderly group, but now it is getting younger and younger.
However, antihypertensive drugs can only have a certain effect on blood pressure in a short period of time, and sometimes the dosage is large, and it is easy to cause physical discomfort.
However, if you eat a moderate amount of cranberries every day, to a certain extent, you can reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Because cranberries contain low sodium and high potassium properties, they promote the production of nitric oxide in cells, thereby promoting the relaxation of blood vessels, and have the effect of lowering blood pressure.
In addition to lowering blood pressure, cranberries have high oxidizing properties and play a role in the prevention of diabetes.
Although cranberries are very useful, they should not be eaten in large quantities, because cranberries are cold, so eating a large amount of them every day will also bring adverse effects to the body, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.
In fact, no matter what you eat, just moderate amounts, but too much can be counterproductive.
epilogue
This northeast trip, which swept the whole network, made people truly realize the northeast.
In addition to snow, there are ice sculptures. In addition to the hospitable Northeast people, there are also the ruins of Unit 931 that should be engraved in the blood and bones, and the cranberry base that broke the monopoly of foreign countries.
The people of the mainland will never lack the courage to face history squarely, because history will give us the courage to brave the wind and waves.
