My daughter-in-law doesn't like fruits, and the most she eats is tomatoes, the kind of sand pulp, which is her favorite "fruit". She only eats a little bit of seasonal fruits such as bananas, apples, pears, and baba oranges that she buys on weekdays for nutritional balance, and according to her own words, she actually doesn't have any special favorite fruits.
A few days ago, I went to the supermarket, in the fruit area, the fragrance of durian filled the entire store, my daughter-in-law also joined in the fun, ran to pick durian, picked a 4 pound or so, the price after weighing was more than 200 yuan, she was really reluctant, and shouted: "Is this crazy, why do you want to buy such an expensive fruit?"
Put it back on the shelf as it is, and then ask my opinion, I didn't like to eat this smelly fruit originally, although I didn't hate it, but I was a little reluctant. It's still the traditional idea, I'd rather spend more than 200 to buy some braised beef, buy some pork ribs to simmer soup at home, and buy some Jiwei shrimp skin shrimp than buy such an expensive fruit.
A few days later, I accompanied my daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, sat on the road in front of my house and chatted about family life, and heard a loudspeaker shouting something from a distance. There are still dozens of meters away from us, the small truck stopped, and several families in front of them surrounded it, and in the blink of an eye, I saw that Aunt Wang bought a durian, Aunt Li, who grinded tofu, also bought a durian, and Uncle Liu, who played cotton wool, actually bought a durian.
After a while, the small truck selling durian stopped in a vacant lot opposite my mother-in-law's house, my daughter-in-law couldn't resist the temptation, and stepped forward to ask the price, as if she understood very well, the durian on the left picked up and checked, and after putting it down, she picked up another one and put it in front of her nose to sniff, and also folded the spikes on the durian in a fake way, and then said to the aunt who sold durian, your durian quality is average, how much is a pound?
No wonder the neighbors next door aunts and aunts have bought, it turns out that the price of durian sold on this small truck is really cheap, a few days ago I bought durian in the supermarket, about 4 catties to 180, and today in this suburb of the city, durian of about the same size, actually bought it for 80 yuan, my daughter-in-law bought back durian and said: "Even if you are fooled, it is 80 yuan, not to mention that this durian is quite fresh, and the flesh should not be bad?"
After peeling the durian, she praised while eating: "It's not bad, the taste and aroma are relatively weak, my parents are eating it for the first time, it is not so irritating, and I have the habit of eating, and it is worth 80 yuan." ”
On the bus home, I asked my daughter-in-law, would you really pick durians?
She said that the durian variety purchased today is Qingni durian, the taste and quality are relatively bland, coupled with the abundant production of Qingni durian, the market supply is sufficient, and the price attracts consumers, and price competition is the advantage of this variety of durian.
Seeing that my daughter-in-law said that the head was the truth, I couldn't refute it, so I asked, "Then can you tell me some tips for choosing durians?" Why do you say that durians in supermarkets are so expensive?
1. Choose durian, isn't the bigger the durian, the more pulp?
For consumers, there are only delicious durians and undelicious durians, but from the variety of durian, the taste and smell of durian are completely different from different varieties. Different varieties will affect the taste, smell, and size of durian, so we can't generalize when choosing durian. It's not that the big ones are bad, and the big ones are necessarily good, of course, the small durians also have very high-quality varieties, so when choosing durians, don't choose durians according to their size, but according to the varieties and characteristics of durians.
1. There are many types of durian, so let's give you a brief introduction to the common durian varieties in China, which are more well-known durian varieties in the minds of domestic diners, such as: Golden Pillow, Sultan, Golden Phoenix, Black Thorn, Red Meat, Ganyao, Qingni, Jialun, etc.
The main production areas of durian are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., of which Malaysia has the largest output, but Thailand is the main exporter, and you should know that the picking season of durian is concentrated from June to September.
Durian has high nutritional value, containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin C, potassium and other nutrients, which has a good health care effect.
2. In fact, there are more than 200 varieties of durian, and there are more than 10 common ones in China, such as the golden pillow durian, which is medium in size.
If you don't know whether a certain variety of durian is big or small, then when you choose durian, you will basically feel that you are always "deceived". ”
The red-fleshed durian is also relatively small, but it is the mainstream durian variety in Malaysia, with a heavier herbal flavor and even a gasoline-like taste.
When you choose durian, you must not choose durian according to the size of the durian, there is a great possibility, you choose a larger durian, but the internal flesh is very small, but it is better to buy a small durian, sometimes the smaller durian, the pulp will be more.
To sum up, when choosing durian, you should keep in mind that durian is a fruit that is concentrated and of high quality.
2. How to choose durian?
The price of durian is not cheap, I don't know how to choose, and while wasting money, I am also angry, so we still need to master some skills of selecting durian and teach you 5 skills.
1. When buying apples and pears in the fruit store, buying tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables and fruits in the vegetable market, everyone's selection criteria are surprisingly consistent.
When choosing durian, it is the same, no matter what kind of durian, when you choose, try to look rounder, round than sharp, you should keep in mind this selection skill, which is also one of the more important skills for choosing durian.
Suppose you pick durian in the supermarket, on the shelf booth, the merchant will only put the same variety of durian together for consumers to choose, and will not mix different varieties of durian together, different varieties and different prices, so it is completely impossible to mix.
Under the assumption that the durians sold in supermarkets or fruit stores are all of the same variety, when you choose, try to choose a more rounded one, at least it can show that the round durian is "inside", and the flesh will be more, because the round area is relatively larger, while the pointed durian has less space and less flesh inside.
With such a metaphor, let everyone understand the shape of durian, I don't know if you can understand it? Please keep in mind that when choosing a durian, which round ones to look for first.
2. What is durian that everyone remembers vividly? I believe that ten consumers, nine will say that it smells, some people say that it smells, some people say it smells good, from the perspective of selecting durian, in addition to selecting a rounder durian, choose a durian with softer thorns on the shell, not that the durian is soft, but the spikes on the durian, try to choose the kind with softer spikes.
3. The selection of durian is mostly judged from the appearance and spikes, if the spikes are loosely distributed, that is to say, the interval between the thorns and the thorns is large, that is, the durian flesh may be fuller, because it grows well, and the skin of the durian is stretched out.
4. Let's talk about the color of durian, eating durian with high maturity is naturally better than not ripe durian. Cyan or cyan durian indicates that its maturity is not high enough, but it is not all like this, and it is still judged according to different varieties.
5. The maturity of durian is high, and some even open naturally, and you can see the flesh inside, but this natural opening is the same as the artificial opening, and we actually have no way to distinguish it when we choose.
From the perspective of food safety and hygiene, it is better to buy durian in public places without an opening than to open it, because the flesh of durian without an opening is inside the shell, which is protected and is not easy to breed bacteria.
6. The smell of durian can also reflect the ripeness of the pulp, the fragrance is strong, you don't need to think about it, you know, it must be ripe, if there is no obvious fragrance, or the smell is too pungent, it may be not ripe, or it has deteriorated durian.
3. The price of durian is expensive, why not grow durian in China?
The main production areas of durian are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., among which Malaysia has the largest output, let's talk about the natural climate of Malaysia first, because the growth of durian has higher requirements for climate, temperature and humidity.
Take Malaysia as an example, because the local production is the largest, Malaysia is located near the equator, belongs to the tropical rainforest climate and tropical monsoon climate, high temperature and rain all year round, there is no difference between the four seasons. At the same time, the temperature difference in the year is also small, and the rain is abundant throughout the year, with an average annual rainfall of 2000-2500 mm.
Yunnan, Hainan, Guangxi and other places in our country also grow more tropical fruits, such as bananas, mangoes, etc., these places belong to the temperate monsoon climate, and there are still some differences with the tropical rainforest climate.
The most important thing is that durian is different from other tropical fruits, it has higher requirements for temperature, light, rain and other growth conditions, and only a small part of Hainan can achieve such growth standards in our country, but because of the different climatic conditions, that is, the difference between the temperate monsoon climate and the tropical rainforest climate, resulting in the taste of durian planted in Hainan is not too good, and the yield is also limited.
As we all know, most of the domestic durians are imported, so there will be such questions, the price of durian is expensive, why not grow durian in China?
The climatic conditions, the difference between the temperate monsoon climate and the tropical rainforest climate have restricted the planting and production of durian in China, coupled with the large investment of artificial time for durian planting, it may take 6-8 years to bear fruit after almost a durian tree is planted, coupled with planting technology and experience and other reasons, there are few places to plant durian in China, and there are fewer fruit farmers who are willing to plant.
Writing here, I still want to say a few words, buy durian, pick the big one is unreliable, teach you 6 skills, all of them have more meat and thin skin, dense and sweet.
There are many types of durian, so I will give you a brief introduction to the common durian varieties in China, in the minds of domestic diners, the more well-known durian varieties, such as: Golden Pillow, Sultan, Golden Phoenix, Black Thorn, Red Meat, Ganyao, Qingni, Jialun, etc.
When you choose durian, you must not choose durian according to the size of the durian, there is a great possibility, you choose a larger durian, but the internal flesh is very small, but it is better to buy a small durian, sometimes the smaller durian, the pulp will be more.
To sum up, when choosing durian, you should keep in mind that durian is a fruit that is concentrated and of high quality.
I like to express love with food, believe that giving love is the best way to make yourself happy, and deeply believe that food is the only way to soothe people's hearts.
