When will the yellow fruit be available on the market?

Huangpi fruit, also known as Huangpi, Huangdanzi, etc., is known as the "treasure of fruit" among the people. The fruit season is from July to August every year, and Hainan will be 1-2 months earlier. The varieties can be divided into two systems according to the taste: sweet and sour. The taste is sweet and sour, and the juice is rich and fragrant. In addition to being eaten fresh, Huangpi fruit can also be used to make candied fruit, preserved fruit, jam, etc., or used in cooking.

Huangpi fruit is one of the tropical fruits with extremely high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, organic acids, flavonoids and other ingredients. It has the effects of digestion, expectoration, regulating qi and relieving cough. The cinnamamide A and phenols it contains can regulate qi and restrain lung qi. Huangpi fruit also has high medicinal value. The leaves, fruits and seeds can be used as medicine. The peel can eliminate wind swelling and remove malnutrition; the seeds can treat hernia, centipede bites and children's head sores.

Sweet-tasting kumquats can be eaten fresh, or the seeds can be removed, the pulp and peel can be crushed and mixed, and then boiled into jam with rock sugar. The seeds can also be removed, rock sugar can be added and boiled on low heat, and then honey can be added and sealed for 3-7 days to make honey kumquats and taken with water. Sour kumquats can be used in cooking, the most common of which are kumquat braised pork ribs and kumquat steamed chicken. When cooking, just make a small hole at the root of the kumquat, squeeze out the seeds, and use the pulp and peel together to make a delicious appetizer.

The nature of kumquat is mild and slightly cool. Although eating kumquats can help clear away heat and reduce fire, and help digestion and relieve summer heat, people with weak spleen and stomach or stomach diseases should be careful not to eat too much to avoid diarrhea. People with high blood sugar should also be careful when eating kumquats, because kumquats are rich in sugar, which may increase blood sugar after eating. Since kumquats have a short time on the market and a short storage time, they can only be stored in a cool and dry place such as a refrigerator for about 4-5 days.

How long can yellow peel fruit be kept

Generally speaking, fresh kumquats can be stored in a cool and dry place for about 4-5 days. If you want to keep kumquats longer, you can only make them into jam or pickle them. This is why kumquats are very common in the south, but are rarely seen in northern cities. They are difficult to preserve and cannot withstand long-distance transportation. In the north, you may see more kumquat jams or kumquat processed products after pickling.

In the south, kumquats are often pickled into sweet or salty flavors. Sweet ones can be used as snacks or mixed with water, while salty ones are the best accompaniment to porridge. Generally speaking, kumquats can be stored in the refrigerator for more than one month after pickling, which depends on the specific situation. If the seal is not good, kumquats are still easy to deteriorate, so it is also necessary to isolate the bacteria from the outside when pickling.
