Grab a handful of peanuts here, grab a spoonful of pine nuts and various roasted nuts and pour them into the fruit bowl...... This may be the sense of ritual of the Spring Festival for many people
As the Lunar New Year draws closer, the roasted food market has become particularly hot. Due to the abundant supply in the market, the price of some roasted nuts has dropped significantly before the holiday, and the recent sales volume has tripled compared with normal days.
Yesterday (February 1) morning, the reporter came to a fried goods shop in the urban area, and there were three large boxes of red-skinned peanuts at the door of the store, with a price of 9 yuan per 500 grams, a decrease of 5 yuan from some time ago.
"Taking advantage of the cheap price, I bought two big bags of peanuts. Aunt Zhu, a customer, told reporters that the locals in Jiading call peanuts the longevity fruit, "It has high nutritional value and good meaning, and it is a necessary snack for entertaining relatives and friends during the New Year." ”
The reporter noticed that whether it was an elderly person who was about to entertain relatives and friends, or a middle-aged person who was about to return to his hometown for a reunion, everyone carried a shopping bag in their hands, and walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, etc., were bought for three or four hundred yuan. Ms. Xie will leave for her hometown in Fujian tomorrow, and she came here to buy a lot today, "I bought almost every variety, and I kept a small part to eat on the road, mainly to buy and give to relatives in my hometown." Ms. Xie said that although roasted nuts are not valuable, they also represent a part of her heart as a junior.
It is understood that as the Spring Festival approaches, the sales of nuts have tripled compared with normal days. "Walnuts and peanuts are basically replenished in boxes, and the daily sales volume of peanuts alone is four or five hundred catties. Wang Chengyong, the owner of the fried goods shop, introduced.
In terms of prices, the price has not risen with the growth of sales, and the price of many roasted nuts has decreased compared with the same period last year: with 500 grams as the unit of measurement, macadamia nuts have dropped from 38 yuan to 29 yuan, and the price of lemon nuts has dropped from more than 100 yuan to 40 yuan. According to the owner, the localization of planting and the abundant supply are the main reasons for the decline in prices before the holiday. "For example, macadamia nuts were originally Australian fruits, and now they are also being planted in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the cost is reduced and the yield is high, and the price has come down. Because of the abundant rainfall in Zhejiang, the fruit bears more, and the price drop is more obvious. Wang Chengyong said.
However, it should be reminded that although roasted food contains vitamins and other trace elements, which are beneficial to the human body, due to the high calories and fats, the public should not eat too much at one time, and patients with chronic pharyngitis, hyperlipidemia and diabetes should eat with caution.
"We recommend a small handful a day, about 10 grams or half a tael. Liu Kan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology of Jiading District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, emphasized that children under the age of 5 are not recommended to eat roasted nuts, "such as peanuts and pistachio granules are small and hard, and children laugh, be frightened or accidentally fall when eating, they may enter the trachea, resulting in difficulty breathing, which is very dangerous, and parents should pay more attention."
