The wonders of nature are inconceivable to mankind, it is said that a side of the water and soil to raise a side of the people, different countries, geographic features, as well as products are different, some foreigners want to go to China to experience the characteristics of the culture, as well as Chinese food. Some foreigners want to experience China's unique culture and Chinese cuisine. Chinese people also want to go to foreign countries after they have money, they also want to expand their horizons and increase their knowledge. In Africa, there is a very different kind of tree from other countries, because the fruit looks similar to sausage, so the tree is called sausage tree.
As long as it is long after the fruit, whether raw or cooked, can be removed directly edible, Africans eat, the more you eat the more happy, but Chinese tourists go to Africa to play, after seeing, a little interested in no, is not the African sausage tree fruit is not to the Chinese people's appetite?
It is understood that the sausage tree in Africa is also known as the local chandelier tree, fruit tree is located in Uganda, this tree fruit shape is more special, as if it is an upside down sausage like. But every day at night, this fruit tree will be spread out the distinctive smell of flowers, but this is not the fruit after ripening fragrance. Chinese tourists say it smells like rat droppings, and for Chinese tourists, they really don't dare to venture out and taste the fruit.
According to African locals, the tree, which is about 12 meters tall, blooms at night, and in addition pollination is done by bats at night, so its own scent is not the same when compared with other fruit trees. The skin of the fruit of the sausage tree also looks uninviting, its skin appears purple-green, the fruit will grow to the side of the curved, from a distance, as if an upside-down sausage.
Africans love to eat the fruit of the sausage tree, and also said that the fruit of the sausage tree to eat the mouth sweet, chewing words, but also feel the fruit contains a greater number of starch. The local people for the fruit of the sausage tree like very much, once they do not eat food, you can take the fruit of the sausage tree to hunger. The fruit of this tree is so large that eating one a day can replenish the energy of the whole day. Perhaps there are too many sausage trees in Africa, and they can be found everywhere, so some people will just pick them and eat them whenever they are hungry.
The sausage tree can be used as food, but also has medicinal value, in China can also see the figure of the sausage tree, but the fruit, the taste is very bad, perhaps due to environmental factors, perhaps due to the pollination of time is not the same, and therefore let the Chinese sausage tree is not the favorite of the Chinese people.
Because its pollination in Africa is done by bats, not bees to complete the pollination, which makes it difficult for the Chinese to accept. The bats themselves have a large number of harmful pathogenic bacteria, the Chinese people will not eat the fruit after pollination by the bats. It is estimated that Chinese tourists go to Africa, after seeing this fruit tree, would rather go hungry, but also will not eat the fruit of the sausage tree.
