If you ask if you have eaten " human pistachio ", many consumers may think of the fruit in the picture below:
Many stores and e-commerce platforms have marked this fruit as "human pistachio". Of course, more people are more accustomed to calling this fruit " ginseng fruit ".
But are the human pistachio and ginseng fruit really the same fruit?
human pistachio is not ginseng fruit
The name of ginseng fruit may sound a bit related to the "ginseng fruit" of Zhenyuan Daxian in "Journey to the West". However, in fact, this is just a good name for us when promoting fruits.
It has nothing to do with the ginseng fruit in "Journey to the West", which is the same as the chrysanthemum being called snow lotus fruit , and chrysanthemum has nothing to do with Tianshan snow lotus .
Ginseng fruit was originally named " Cantaloupe ". It is a plant of the genus Solanaceae . You can also treat it as a " small eggplant " that can be eaten raw. Ginseng fruit was introduced to my country in about 1985. It has been in my country for a very short time and is considered a fruit that has become popular for a short time.
The most famous production area for growing ginseng fruit is Yunnan Shilin, which produces about 250,000 tons of ginseng fruit annually. In the market, ginseng fruits have now been launched in large quantities. Taking Beijing Xinfadi as a reference, the wholesale price of fine ginseng fruits is about 4-6 yuan per kilogram, which is not too cheap or expensive.
Some merchants call it "human heart fruit", but I don't know how it is called this name. This name can easily make consumers think that it is really a "human heart fruit".
There was already a fruit called "human heart fruit" in my country, which is the fruit in the picture below.
If you look closer, it looks a bit like a yellow egg and is not good-looking.
But if you look far away, it looks a bit like the shape of a "heart", hanging one by one on the tree. This may be the origin of the name of the Human Pinnacle.
human pistachio is also not a fruit tree native to my country. It originated in South America and was only introduced to my country for a long time.
It is an evergreen tropical fruit tree in the genus of the genus and is planted in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in my country. However, the popularity of human heart fruit is far less than that of ginseng fruit. In the fruit market, ginseng fruit is now easy to see in non-main production areas, but the number of times a non-main production areas is seen in non-main production areas is relatively small.
human pistachios can be eaten directly as fruits. They taste sweet and delicious, and the flesh is also juicy. But in some main production areas of human heart nuts, it is not just as simple as treating human heart nuts as fruits. Many people who eat human pistachios will use human pistachios to cook, such as stir-frying meat slices , cold sauce, boiling chicken soup, and steaming...
It looks like this, human pistachios are more like "eggplant" than ginseng fruit.
human pistachios have nothing to do with the ginseng fruits on the market today. But some people say that the human heart nut is the original form of the ginseng fruit in "Journey to the West". Judging from the time it was introduced to our country, the human heart nut is indeed possible, at least it was introduced much earlier than the melon eggplant.
However, this kind of thing is difficult to explain and needs further verification.
Hang on the tree for 300 days before picking fruits
Most ginseng fruits are planted using manual cutting method. The branches of ginseng fruits will bloom in about one and a half months, and then bear fruit. It will take about 70 days from the beginning to the fruit.
Many ginseng fruits on the market are not fully mature, and they may be sweeter when eaten. Some consumers complained that ginseng fruit tasted not sweet at all except for a cucumber flavor. Judging from my experience in eating ginseng fruit, there is a high probability that this is not ripe. When it is fully mature, it will taste sweeter and more delicious.
Compared with the production cycle of ginseng fruit, the production cycle of tunger fruit is very long.
Human pistachios start to be cultivated from seedlings. Generally, it takes more than 3 years to bear fruit and can produce high yields in 4-5 years. This is similar to most fruit trees.
But what is more cruel than most fruit trees is that the fruit development cycle of human heart fruit is very long. How long is
?
Many people probably can't imagine it.
The fruit development of human heart fruit is "New Year's Eve", and it blooms and bears fruits while blooming. Blooming and fruiting can "coexist".
Generally speaking, assuming that the human pistachio starts to bear fruit in July this year, don’t think about eating human pistachio this year, because when the fruit of the human pistachio develops and matures, it will be at least until April-May next year.
The fruit development cycle of human heart fruit takes about 9-10 months, which means that the fruit of human heart fruit must be hung on the tree for about 300 days before it can be picked.
This fruit-bearing time is too long.
pistachio is not popular, but its price is still high compared to ginseng fruit. The retail price of a pound in non-main production areas can be about 15-20 yuan. However, this price may be relatively weak, because there are not many people selling pussy in non-main production areas, and they are not very referenceable.
suffered a great loss in the name
The success of ginseng fruit has a lot to do with choosing a good name. If it is called "Melon Eggplant", it is estimated that the promotion of ginseng fruit will be difficult to be so rapid. Calling "ginseng fruit" will at least arouse everyone's curiosity and try its taste.
Human Pistachio originally wanted to be called "ginseng fruit". Some fruit tree practitioners have begun to verify the "relationship between human Pistachio and ginseng fruit in Journey to the West", but before they have fully tested it, the melon eggplant has begun to disgrace martial ethics and directly named "ginseng fruit" on the market, and took the lead in pushing "ginseng fruit" to the market. Behind
, if you want to call it "ginseng fruit", it will not make much sense.
This is a big loss for the human pomegra to change its name.
So, is the original name of the human heart fruit not good?
Maybe friends in the main production area don’t care much about the name “Humanxinguo”.
But many people who have never eaten this fruit still care about this name and always think it sounds strange, especially when others ask you what you eat, it makes you feel a little awkward.
These situations must be considered in the promotion of fruits.
Therefore, human pistachio should still take a more affinity product name.
may be more effective when it is introduced to the market.
