Due to the advancement of agricultural technology, there is an abundance of fruits available in the market today and the varieties are being updated very fast, those old varieties of fruits are gradually being forgotten and you don't see them in the market, there are many old fruits in the country such as papayas and rose apples, as well as apricots and plums that are found only in the rural areas, and they are now available only on return to their home towns, and in fact, these old varieties of fruits are very palatable and full of flavor, not light and tasteless like the mass-produced fruits of the market, but there are very few human varieties nowadays.

An ancient fruit of our homeland blood peach is such a forgotten fruit, its scientific name is Chinese blood peach, it has been planted for more than two thousand years, I remember when I was a child often ate this fruit, the appearance looks shameless, small size, but after removing the outer skin, the internal flesh color is dark red, forming a sharp contrast is very large, not only that, it also has an excellent taste, crunchy and sweet, almost There is no acidity, you can see a mouthful of blood red juice flowing down, the flesh is removed directly from the core, it is delicious, I loved it as a child, it is strange that there are many different kinds of peaches, but blood peaches are rarely sold.

Why don't fruit growers grow blood peaches, blood peaches early, medium and late ripening there are also three types of blood peaches, theoretically available to the market, but it has the disadvantage that the market cycle is very short, about 20 days, and in some places blood peaches even only 15 days of appreciation, the expiration date does not wait, commercialized fruits, the longer the market cycle the better, like apples, pears and oranges they occupy the shelves all year round and sell naturally well, fruit growers have a large area under cultivation, the ripening period of blood peaches is too short for local sales only, in addition, it is not possible to pre-select blood peaches, if picked unripe it will greatly affect its flavor, which determines that its picking and selling periods will conflict with each other, the time is particularly tight and suppliers are reluctant to buy, since it can be picked only after ripening, which also determines its shelf-life It is very short, at room temperature it softens after two days and then the fruit quickly rots, however, blood peaches are only tasty when they are crunchy and do not become crunchy and sweet when they are soft.

Blood peaches used to be purchased only in rural markets, they are the fruit of peach trees of nearby villagers, blood peaches compared to today's new varieties of peaches, it is true that it is not big, and it does not look very good, but people who know the deal will buy it when they come across peaches, and it is very cheap , buy a big bag, the Cantonese people often say, "Chicken has the flavor of chicken, fish has the flavor of fish" to say, "Chicken has the flavor of fish, fish has the flavor of fish" to say, "Chicken has the flavor of chicken, fish has the flavor of fish. Fish has a fish flavor" to describe blood peaches, "Peach has a peach flavor", peach flavor is very strong, although the peaches are very large, but they taste like white carrots, they have neither water nor sweet peach flavor, so it is very difficult to eat, understandably, this large peaches have a hard texture for transportation, but if it loses its original flavor, it tastes very good. original flavor it will not taste good, there are also some grafted blood peaches with white silk in the flesh which are less soft and more resistant to transport, although it is not as good as the former blood peaches.
