My hometown is Xianju, located in Taizhou, Zhejiang. It is surrounded by mountains and the scenery is very pleasant. Since ancient times, my parents have been known as "the place where the gods live". The name "Xianju" also comes from this.

My hometown not only has beautiful scenery and beautiful people, but also has a lot of delicious food. Among them, the bayberry in Xianju is famous far and wide.

Xianju Yangmei is one of the famous specialties of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. Xianju has a history of cultivating bayberry for more than 1,000 years. The bayberry trees that were planted more than 300 years ago are still growing on the land of Xianju. Develop early-maturing water chestnut varieties and bayberry in low mountains and low hills, which will mature and go on the market in mid-June. In mid-high mountainous areas, develop late-maturing varieties such as Dongkui bayberry and mature in mid-to-late July, extending the bayberry harvest period to more than 2 months. moon.

Xianju Bayberry has beautiful color, sweet taste, large size and small core, the big one is bigger than a table tennis ball. It matures early and is usually ready for market in early June.

Xianju bayberry has natural medical and health functions such as relieving heat and promoting fluid production, diuresis and spleen strengthening, quenching thirst and relieving cough, spleen strengthening and appetizing, increasing appetite, and promoting digestion. At the same time, Xianju bayberry is rich in nutrients. Xianju bayberry is rich in protein, sugar, fruit acid, calcium, iron, glucose, fructose, citric acid, malic acid and multiple vitamins. There is a popular saying among the people: "If you eat three hundred bayberries a day, you will live forever as a fairy."

When I was in school, my grandma’s house planted a lot of bayberry trees. Every year when the bayberries matured, my grandparents would take us up the mountain to pick them. On the Yangmei Mountain, we picked and ate at the same time. That kind of fresh and sweet taste is something you can't buy in the world today. We often go there early in the morning, and the fresh big bayberries are still wet with dew and look particularly attractive. The sweet and sour bayberry is our children’s favorite.

At that time, my grandfather always liked to plant fruits such as bayberry, loquat, orange, pear, and chestnut. Now that grandpa is gone, there are few people taking care of grandma’s bayberry tree. I heard it seems to be left to someone else.

Now, I am married and have my own little family. The opportunities to go back to my grandparents’ home are becoming less and less. I only go back occasionally during New Years and holidays. I hope that my grandpa will be well in heaven.

I love to eat bayberry, and my daughter also loves to eat bayberry now. Although the little guy is young, he can eat several at once. The mouth you eat straight away is surrounded by red bayberry juice.

Of course, Xianju Bayberry is also larger because of its unique sweet and sour taste and its size compared to other areas. It is also deeply welcomed by people in all regions of the country. Nowadays, many people are selling Xianju bayberry online, and many people from other areas express their desire to eat it after eating it.

Bayberry will be on the market soon, and you can eat bayberry again then. It makes me happy just thinking about it, and everyone is welcome to come and taste it.
