Cherry has been eaten for so many years, why is it called cherry?

The difference between cherry and cherry;

Belong to different species, all belong to the same family.

In the first half of last century, there were two kinds of cherries that China could eat, China cherry and Prunus tomentosa. The only difference is that the fruit stalk of China cherry is very long, while that of Prunus tomentosa is very short. Other looks and tastes are the same.

/kloc-at the end of 0/9 century, a large cherry variety introduced from overseas began to be planted in Shandong Province of China. Guangdong, Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province provinces began to plant or import "Big cherry" because China cherry and Prunus tomentosa were difficult to grow. Due to local characteristics, the English word cherry was directly transliterated as "Cherry", and the name began to spread.

In fact, "cherry" or "cherry" are all European sweet cherries.

Small coup for cherry selection: first color, then shape, then luster.

Color: Generally, fruits follow a rule. The greater the temperature difference between day and night, the sweeter the fruit will be. Cherries with dark colors are generally sweeter, while those with light colors are mostly sour.

Size: The size of cherry is a matter of variety, and has nothing to do with the sweetness of taste. Generally, the flesh of big cherry is tough, while that of small cherry is relatively soft. You can pay more attention to the shape of cherry roots when choosing. The more concave this place is, the sweeter the cherry is.

Raw and ripe: ripe cherries must have better luster. Mature and healthy cherry peel will show the natural and round luster of fruit, while those dark and faded cherries often feel soft, not fresh enough and have a bad taste.

Fresh: the fruit is fresh and delicious. The ideal thing is to pick it directly in cherry orchard and eat it while picking it. Choose more delicious food. Fruit stalk is an important index to judge freshness. When the cherry was first picked, the stalk was green. If it is left for a long time, it will turn black and the nutrition will be greatly reduced.

Cherry preservation

In terms of preservation, fresh cherries can generally be preserved for about 3 to 7 days, even 10 days, but it is recommended not to keep them for too long. Cherry is afraid of heat, so it should be kept in the refrigerator at-0/℃.

Taste is greater than nutrition.

From the analysis of nutritional components, compared with other fruits, the nutritional components of cherry are not particularly prominent. Every 100g cherry contains more than 200 micrograms of carotene and vitamin C 10 mg, and also contains some trace elements such as potassium and zinc, and some cherries have relatively high iron content. Under normal circumstances, the supply time of cherries will not be too long, and the amount of cherries eaten will not be too much. Therefore, its nutritional contribution is not as big as that of the fruit that is often eaten, and more is to satisfy the taste.

Eat delicious food in moderation.

When cherries are delicious, eat them in moderation. Don't covet the taste when picking, eat a lot. It is recommended to eat no more than 150g a day.
