Limited to deliciousness
In the greenhouse of the planting base of the Shanghai Greenfield Vegetable and Fruit Planting Professional Cooperative in Luxiang Town, the dragon fruit is hung like a red lantern on the cactus-like vine, and the fruits are full and the color is attractive. The staff is carefully picking the dragon fruit with scissors.
Lu Xiaota, a worker of Shanghai Greenfield Vegetable and Fruit Planting Professional Cooperative: This year's harvest has been harvested, I am really happy, and now I am very busy, harvesting all day.
According to the staff of the base, the dragon fruit can be picked after about a month, and from July to November is the peak season for the harvest of dragon fruit. Due to the multi-layer film insulation and the improvement of the soil to simulate the tropical environment, the dragon juice water is full, the sweetness can reach about 18 degrees, and the fruit quality is very high.
Xia Yan, head of the Shanghai Greenfield Vegetable and Fruit Planting Professional Cooperative: It is still as before, the skin is thin, the juice is more, the taste is really good, and it is very sticky to eat. In terms of planting, greenhouse planting is fertilizer retention, water retention, heat preservation, and the most important thing is that we use organic fertilizer twice a year, so the organic content of dragon fruit is high and the quality is good.
The dragon fruit imported from Hainan and Guangdong that we eat every day is usually picked when it is three or four times ripe due to transportation and other reasons, and the real estate dragon fruit is all left to eight or nine points of ripeness, plus the base is currently open for picking, now picked and eaten, and the dragon fruit taste is more intense.
Tourist: I want to bring my children to experience this picking activity during the summer vacation, and the children also like it.
Xia Yan, head of the Shanghai Greenfield Vegetable and Fruit Planting Professional Cooperative: Every day, tourists come to pick, and here you can directly eat fresh dragon fruit, and even if you express it home, it can be delivered in as long as one day, so when it comes to consumers, the freshness is still maintained very well.
It is understood that the picking period of dragon fruit at the base can last until December, and the current picking price and retail price are 25 yuan per catty. In addition to the red heart dragon fruit, there are also yellow white heart dragon fruit and two-color dragon fruit in the base, which will be ripe and marketed in another month, and interested citizens can go to pick and taste.
