Super Orchard

Chapter 293 Mysterious Fruit

After the spring rain, the land in Jinquan Valley has turned into grass green. As the temperature gradually increases, Jinquan Village has entered the season of growing all things.

Shen Yangguang, who wandered around the orchard for nothing, came to the west side of the pineapple greenhouse planted last autumn. There were still two empty greenhouses that had not been put into use, and they were also the last two greenhouses in Jinquan Valley.

Walking into the shed, you can immediately feel that the temperature here is much higher than the outside world, and the weeds on the ground grow more luxuriantly. In the middle of the shed, a spring has been drilled and a canal has been repaired. Clear spring water is bubbling out of the spring. The small canals flow towards the east and converge with the canals of other greenhouses.

Seeing that the environment here is very suitable, Shen Yangguang decided to start planting fruit trees.

The first thing is to call Niu Neng and ask him to take the staff from the logistics department to plow the two sheds again. On the one hand, it is to level the land, and on the other hand, it is also to hoe the weeds.

Fortunately, when the two greenhouses were built, the future planting problems were considered, so a larger temporary gate was left next to the gate, which just allows tractors to enter and exit, and is convenient for farming.

At the same time, Shen Yangguang began to think about what kind of fruit trees to plant in these two greenhouses. At present, more than 20 kinds of tropical fruits have been planted in the western orchard, including almost all common fruits on the market. Shen Yangguang thought about it again and again. , and finally decided to plant passion fruit, but as for the last fruit, he still couldn't make up his mind.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yangguang took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Chunqiu again, and began to ask questions.

In the past, Shen Yangguang used to call Zhao Chunqiu Uncle Zhao, but in the past two years at Zhao Chunqiu's request, he has changed his name to Uncle because he is Xia Yunxuan's biological uncle.

"Uncle, do you have passion fruit seedlings in your research institute?"

"Is this true? Do you want to grow passion fruit? The Southern Fruit Seedling Company should have it."

"Then I'll call and ask later. By the way, uncle, there is still one big shed left in my orchard. I don't know what to plant."

Zhao Chunqiu is also very familiar with the Golden Spring Orchard. After a little thought, he counted all the fruits planted there, and found that basically all the fruit trees that should be planted have been planted. Recommended, he said: "There is a very strange fruit called the miracle fruit. I wonder if you would like to plant it?"

"Mysterious fruit? I've never heard of it."

Zhao Chunqiu began to explain carefully: "The pulp of the miracle fruit is quite sour, but it contains miracle fruit protein. After eating this kind of fruit, within two hours, and then eating other acidic fruits, you will feel that these are no longer considered fruits. It is sour, but it has become sweet, because it has such a miraculous function, so this fruit is called the miracle fruit."

Because of this miraculous effect, the miracle fruit is also known as dream fruit, miracle fruit, Mira holy fruit, etc. Through these names, it can be seen that the mystery fruit is special.

Shen Yangguang has eaten countless fruits in his life, and he has never heard of this kind of fruit, so he immediately became curious.

Miracle fruit is a plant of the family Sapotaceae Miracle Fruit, a typical tropical evergreen shrub. It is native to West Africa, Ghana, and Congo. In the 60s, when the beloved Prime Minister visited West Africa, the Republic of Ghana used the miracle fruit as a The national gift was given to the Prime Minister, and after that, the miracle fruit began to be cultivated in our country.

This kind of fruit is a precious plant of national treasure level. It is protected no matter whether it is in West African countries or in our country, and its export is prohibited. However, there is no problem in private cultivation in China now.

Zhao Chunqiu went on to say: "In the past, the Botanical Research Institute of Yunnan-Guizhou Province had introduced the miracle fruit. In the past two years, our Fruit Tree Research Institute has also begun to cultivate this fruit. According to my opinion, it has a great market prospect. You can try it. Let's plant it."

Although the miracle fruit is so miraculous, Shen Yangguang planted the fruit for profit, not out of curiosity, so he asked, "Uncle, you said that the taste of the miracle fruit is rather sour, so will anyone buy it when it enters the market?"

"The taste of the original miracle fruit is really not good, but after being cultivated by our research institute, the taste is much better. Although it is not as good as some famous fruits, it is not unpalatable."

"The important thing is that its effect is very valuable. For example, diabetic patients should not eat sweet fruits, but they don't want to eat sweet and sour fruits, so they only need to eat a little miracle fruit, and then eat Those fruits with less sugar will feel as sweet as nectar and jade dew."

In addition to sweetening the sour fruit, the miracle fruit can also turn most of the acidic substances into sweetness. For example, people who are afraid of taking bitter medicine can also eat a mysterious fruit first, so that there is no discomfort Taste it.

The most important thing is that the taste-changing effect of miracle fruit does not have any side effects, because it does not change the molecular structure of food, but changes the perception of taste buds, which is completely harmless.

Then Zhao Chunqiu introduced other effects of the mysterious fruit in detail, Shen Yangguang was dumbfounded.

The mysterious pulp contains rich and peculiar glycoproteins, vitamins, citric acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, etc. The seeds contain natural sterols, and the leaves contain trace minerals such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. It can be said that the whole body is full of treasures.

After the pulp is ripe, it can be eaten raw, or it can be made into juice and concentrate, etc. The seeds can also be eaten raw. As for the leaves, it is even more amazing, because it is a pure natural plant monosodium glutamate.

The leaves of the miracle fruit are not only versatile for any soup stew and hot pot, but also can be used as a soup base for pasta, making the soup fresh, sweet, delicious and more nutritious. In addition, the leaves can also be used to make various flavors of lo-mei, It is also an excellent choice if it is used to make tea, allowing the mouth to enjoy an ultimate tea culture.

In addition, miracle fruit also has strong medicinal value. Regular consumption of miracle fruit can adjust high blood sugar, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, gout and headache, etc. The juice can also eliminate redness and inflammation caused by mosquito bites. The seeds can treat angina, sore throat, Making tea and cooking with leaves can protect the heart, beauty and fitness, and so on.

After listening to Zhao Chunqiu's series of introductions, Shen Yangguang immediately decided to purchase mysterious fruit trees and plant them back, not because the mysterious fruit is too magical, but because there are indeed some people who are not suitable for eating too sweet fruits, and are unwilling to eat sour fruits. Eat, if you sell miracle fruit in your fruit shop, the sales of those fruits that are not too sweet will definitely increase greatly.
