Speaking of cherries, the author’s memory starts with birthday cake.
Yes, it is the red and green cherries on the cake…
At that time, I didn’t think it was delicious (of course, it was canned cherry), but I really thought it was precious. After all, I can only eat it on my birthday in a year…
However, just like litchi in those days [a princess riding on the world of mortals laughed] and now [flying into ordinary people’s homes], cherries are now fruits that everyone can eat.
However, there are many myths about cherries.
Cherry? Big cherry? Cherries?
On the market, some are called cherries, others are called cherries. Some people say:
Cherry is made in China and cherries are imported?
The big dark red cherries and the small light red cherries.
In fact, cherries and cherries are deciduous shrubs and fruit trees of Rosaceae, but the varieties are different, just like [Red Fuji] and [Marshal Huang] in apples.
The name cherries comes from the transliteration of cherries. Many imported fruits have new names. For example, strawberry is actually strawberry. Kiwi fruit is kiwi fruit.
Only when the new name has a foreign style can it fetch a good price.
At the beginning, merchants generally called imported cherries [cherries]. At that time, most imported cherries were large, firm-pulped and dark red varieties, so people had a mindset that cherries with this appearance were [cherries].
In fact, there are many varieties of imported cherries, besides the familiar red cherries, there are also golden cherries. And Shandong big cherry [black pearl] also looks very much like the so-called [cherries].
Big is beautiful, expensive is good?
Advice: Don’t be infatuated with expensive ones! Don’t be infatuated with the big one!
Imported cherries (cherries) will be much more expensive, but they may not be better to eat (although the varieties are good, the freshness will be affected after long-distance transportation).
Moreover, fortunately, the breeding technology is becoming more and more advanced, and many foreign excellent cherry varieties have already been successfully cultivated in China.
For example, the best-selling Shandong cherry is the variety of [European sweet cherry].
And whether it tastes good or not is out of proportion to the size.
As for which kind of cherry is delicious, it is purely [radish and cabbage, each has his own love], just like [pony crossing the river]: I only know after trying.
Cherry is delicious, but nutritious…
To tell the truth, cherries have high color value and good taste, but when it comes to nutrition, there is nothing to say.
Businessmen like to praise cherries best [iron and blood, high vitamin C content].
But the truth is cruel:
- The iron content in 100 g cherry is only 0.4 mg, while the vitamin C content is only 10 mg. Let’s look at [civilian] Chinese cabbage: 100 g Chinese cabbage has 0.7 mg iron and 31 mg vitamin C.
Growing red does not mean enriching blood, and high color value does not mean good nutrition.
As for vitamin C, everyone must be confused by the advertisement of whitening products all over the sky.
All kinds of whitening products and vitamin C supplements all say that acerola cherry is used as the raw material.
Yes, acerola cherry is rich in vitamin C, but it is not [cherry], it just looks like it.
In botanical classification:
- Cherry acerifolia: Cherry of Cheraceae: Cherry of Rosaceae
The difference between them is probably like that between dogs and cats.
Then I buy fresh acerola cherry to eat, can’t I supplement vitamin C?
It is suggested that you should stop thinking about this. This fruit is too sour to be eaten by human beings.
