Following durian and jackfruit, the "blueberry freedom" of "foodies" is also gradually being realized.
A reporter learned from the e-commerce platform that this year's "blueberries are a lot cheaper".

Mr. Ye, who works in the Jiangnan Fruit Wholesale Market in Guangzhou, told reporters that this year, blueberries were planted in many places, so the price hit a new low in the past five years, and there were many high-quality blueberries, attracting many fruit merchants to buy, and sales continued to grow.

How to choose a watermelon?
"Listen to the sound to recognize the melon" does have a certain truth, when knocking on the watermelon, if you hear a "poof", thick and dull sound, it is generally a ripe melon; If you hear the crisp sound of "dangdang", most of them are raw melons.
In addition to this, there are a few tips that will also help you pick a ripe watermelon:
1. Look at the melon navel. The circle at the bottom of the watermelon is the umbilicus of the watermelon, the small umbilicus indicates that the skin is thin and the melon has more flesh, the smaller the umbilicus circle, the better, the umbilicus is concave, the surrounding is convex, the maturity of the melon is high, and the sugar content is sufficient.
2. Look at the guati and the melon vines. The greener the guati, the fresher the watermelon; Guati wilted, most likely "ayaca" or "early picking". In addition, watermelons with curved melon vines are generally sweeter than melon vines with straight melon vines.
3. Look at the melon peel. Some watermelon rinds will be slightly yellowish, which is due to the lack of sunlight in that part. Generally, watermelons are best green, and the less yellow the melon skin, the better.
4. Look at the lines. The texture of watermelon is also knowledgeable, it is recommended to try to choose watermelon with thick, clear and neat texture, such watermelon is usually more delicious than watermelon with disordered texture.
