Although everyone lives in cities now, when we were children, we still spent our childhood in rural areas. In your childhood memories in the countryside, what is the most unforgettable wild fruit you have ever eaten?

Raspberry

Raspberry is a kind of wild strawberry, but it does not grow on the ground, but on shrubs. Raspberry trees generally grow on roadsides and on field ridges, and there are thorns on the plants. You must be careful when picking the fruits, otherwise you will be pricked by the thorns. Raspberries will become bright red when ripe, the color is very attractive, and they are tender and tender. They taste sour and sweet and very delicious. This wild fruit is very common in rural areas and is also a childhood memory of many people.

Mulberry

There are usually many mulberry trees in the mountains in the south. When we were children, we would pick mulberry leaves to feed silkworms. When there are mulberries, we will climb the trees to pick them, and we will eat them while picking them. After eating the mulberries, our mouths will become pitch black, and our hands will also be black. After eating enough, we will take a lot of them home. .

Camellia oleifera

There are many Camellia oleifera trees in the south. Sometimes the entire mountain is planted with Camellia oleifera trees. Tea ear is a unique plant formed after the leaves of the Camellia oleifera tree are epiphyllized by bacteria. The leaves are very similar in color to the leaves, but they will swell and turn white, and some will grow into bubbles. When a layer of white skin appears on the surface of the tea ears, the tea ears are considered ripe and taste sweet without any astringency.

Hua Zao

Hua Zao is also called the longevity fruit. When I was a kid, there were several Hua Zao trees on the mountain. The Hua Zao picked from the trees were actually not very tasty. They were astringent and tasted like a fruit. Only the jujubes that fall on the ground are sweet. Remove the seeds and it tastes very sweet, almost as sweet as red dates.

Wild grapes

When we were young, we went up to the mountains to cut firewood, and we would see a lot of wild grape vines. In summer, they would produce a lot of wild grapes. Compared with today's grapes, wild grapes are very small, small and small, and turn black when ripe. Such grapes taste sweet and sour.

Wild kiwi

There are also many wild kiwi trees on the mountain. A wild kiwi vine can climb the entire hillside. The kiwi will mature almost after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wild kiwis are relatively small. If they are soft when pinched, it means they are ripe. If they are hard, they will be so sour that they will make you cry. Wild macaques cannot eat too much at one time, otherwise their teeth may become sore.

Nimzi

Many friends from the south have also eaten a kind of wild fruit called myrtle. We more commonly call it ninzi. Generally, from July to August, nizi will mature. When its skin turns black, it means it is ready to eat. Ninzi tastes soft, sweet and delicious. It can be picked and dried, and it can also be used to brew wine.
