But speaking of price
Just one word: expensive!
I was instantly taken aback when I saw the price
I believe that many friends are also confused
"What's going on, why is it so expensive?"
Lychee production is reduced
Wholesale prices have fallen
Last year, a bumper yield of lychees was achieved
The market is oversaturated
The prices of some varieties have declined
"Cinnamon flavor" can be bought for about 10 yuan
Some even fell to 3-4 yuan per catty
Many of my friends enjoyed eating

And in the "lychee world" there is a saying
"One year is bigger and one year is small"
It's about the flowering of lychees
Spend more in a year, spend less in a year
This year due to the low flowering rate
Is the price of lychee going up?
In Dongguan, Zengcheng
A fruit farmer who grows lychees said
Due to the erratic temperatures in February and March this year
One will be hot and humid, and the other will be low and rainy
As a result, the flowering period of lychee was delayed by nearly 20 days compared with previous years
In the later Qingming period, the rain increased
Flush out the pollen, which affects the fruit set
In addition, last year was a "bumper year" for lychee production
Some lychee trees consume too much nutrients
To a certain extent
will inhibit the formation of flower buds this year

At present, most of the lychees on the market are "osmanthus fragrant" lychees, which belong to the early-maturing varieties of Hainan and can be picked in March every year. It is understood that the wholesale price of lychees on the market in March is 50-60 yuan per catty, and now the price has fallen.
"In March and April, early-maturing lychees are listed in the market, with low output and high prices, and from the situation in previous years, after a large number of Guangdong lychees are ripened in May and June, the price will fall accordingly. Kuang Weiguang, general manager of Bailigao Company, a subsidiary of Zhongli Agricultural Group, introduced.
What about the retail price of lychees?

"Lychee in general,
Or the concubine's smile is sweeter and more delicious. ”
Said the fruit shop clerk
The "osmanthus fragrant" pit that is now on the market
Larger than the pit of the "concubine smile".
The sweetness is also a little worse
The concubine laughed at the lychee
In previous years, it was listed in large numbers in May
The price is generally more than ten yuan a catty
At that time, the overall price of lychee will also come down
"Fruit controls" who like to feast
You can wait a little longer
Eating lychees like this is eating insects

Netizens said
Actually, it's not just you who like to eat lychees
Bugs also like to eat
I also like to leave a little "mark" after eating
After peeling the lychee
The black color of the lychee is insect
What is white is clean!
Is that really the case?
Health experts said
To be precise, it's not lychee worms
Rather, the worms got into the lychee fruit
This insect is called lychee stem borer
It is a major pest of lychees
The harm of pedicle borers is to affect the edible value of lychees
But the bugs themselves are non-toxic
Don't worry about ingesting it by mistake

Because of the insects on the lychee
and its feces are not disinfected
Unhygienic and needs to be eaten with caution
Tips: How to choose lychees
How to choose a delicious lychee?
Xiao Fu came to support the move
Look at the epidermis:
If the epidermis is distinctly brown
Indicates that the sugar has been lost or spoiled
Look at the junction of the stalk and peel:
If wormholes appear here
Or the shank has turned black
It is likely that it has been taken over by bugs
It is not recommended to buy
Pinch with your hands:
The epidermis is elastic and firm, and it is relatively moist
It's fresh lychee
Smell:
Fresh lychees will have a fresh fragrance
It smells sour or alcoholic
Don't buy it

Whereas, adults can generally eat it in a day
About 10~15 pieces
Possible if consumed in excess
