It's time to share the food again, hello, I'm happy!
Mangosteen is known as the "Queen of Fruits", and the snow-white crystalline flesh is tightly arranged like garlic cloves, which is fresh, refreshing, sweet and not greasy to eat, and is deeply loved by people. Moreover, mangosteen is a cool fruit, cold, with the effect of reducing dryness and fire, very suitable for autumn eating, can overcome the dry heat of autumn, to prevent fire. Mangosteen began to mature and market in May to October, of which August to October had the largest production, higher natural maturity and better quality.
Compared with other fruits, the price of mangosteen is a few dollars more expensive, but if you spend a lot of money and can't buy the fleshy, sweet mangosteen, it will be more than worth the loss. Share 3 fruit merchants commonly used methods of selecting mangosteen, the boss knows that it is an expert at a glance, and does not dare to fool you!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" ></h1>
Mangosteen is not fresh at first glance should look at its stalk, fresh mangosteen stalk and leaves are green; if the green leaves on the top of the mangosteen have dried up and become dark brown or dark brown, it proves that this mangosteen has been stored for 4 to 5 days, not fresh.
However, because mangosteen is a tropical fruit, most of them are produced in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong and Yunnan and other places, from picking to logistics and transportation to market-oriented, the whole process also takes at least 2 to 3 days, especially in the northeast region, at least 4 days or more, even if it is cold chain transportation is difficult to ensure the freshness of mangosteen. Therefore, when shopping in the supermarket, you will find that there are very few mangosteens whose handles are completely blue-green.
Therefore, we do not have to be too harsh when choosing mangosteen, try to choose the color of the handle green, the color of the stem can only determine the freshness of the mangosteen, the following 2 points are the key to determining the taste and sweetness of the mangosteen flesh!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > second, pinch the peel</h1>
【Mangosteen peel color】
At present, there are 2 kinds of mangosteen colors on the market, one is red in the color of the peel, and the other is dark purple in the color of the peel. The wholesale price of mangkhut with red skin color is cheaper than that of dark purple, and a box of mangosteen is 40 yuan to 50 yuan cheaper. You get what you pay for, the mangosteen peel with a dark purple peel is thinner, and the flesh is sweeter and smoother to eat.
If yellow spots are found on the surface of mangosteen, don't worry, this is a scar left by mangosteen after being scraped by the tree during the picking process, which does not affect the quality of mangosteen.
【Mangosteen peel hardness】
Gently pressing the surface of the mangosteen with your hand can clearly feel the elasticity, and the mangosteen peel can quickly rebound after pressing, which proves that the mangosteen is fresh.
If the mangosteen peel does not move, it means that the mangosteen is old, and the fruit merchants call it "dead bamboo", which is very mature and strong! The shell is as solid as stone, and the pulp inside is no longer juiced, so don't buy it.
If a conspicuous pit appears after gently pressing the mangosteen peel with your hand and does not rebound, it proves that the mangosteen has been over-matured or squeezed, and the mangosteen pulp will be damaged and it is not recommended to buy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > three, count the petals</h1>
Some people say that "looking at the petals at the bottom of the mangosteen can distinguish between male and female, and female mangosteen is sweeter", which is wrong! Most plants are hermaphrodite, and there is no such thing as "male and female". The petals at the bottom of the mangosteen are formed by a small bulge in the middle of the flower bud, and the number of petals raised in the middle of the flower bud is caused by the pollination of the flower, which has nothing to do with the male and female of the mangosteen.
At the bottom of each mangosteen there is a petal-like protrusion, which is delicately embedded in the shell of the mangosteen like a small crown of mangosteen, and the number of petals can be judged from the number of petals of the mangosteen. The flower at the bottom has a few petals, which means that there are several petals of flesh inside the mangosteen, for example, if you see that the bottom of the mangosteen has 6 petals, then this mangosteen has 6 petals of pulp.
When selecting mangosteen, try to choose a large number of petals, because the mangosteen fruit only has a large pulp, the small flesh is no core, the number of petals is more than the number of parts of the flesh that is divided, and the small core of the flesh is naturally gone, so that the flesh that can eat the mouth will become more.
