bayberry
bayberry is rich in fruit acid, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid , increase appetite and help digestion.

Before eating bayberry, it can be soaked in salt water to wash away the dust on the surface of the fruit and the fruit fly larvae that may be hidden in it.
Mango
Mango is known as the "King of Tropical Fruits". It is one of the few fruits rich in protein and contains higher carotene than other fruits. Some people are allergic to mango , mainly because mango contains allergenic proteins, aldehydes and other ingredients that will irritate the skin and mucous membranes.
Kiwifruit
Kiwifruit contains high vitamin C, Mg and trace elements. When eating kiwifruit, one often encounters the phenomenon of "you can't eat it when it's hard, but soak in water when it's soft", but it's actually a very storage-stable fruit.Store in a cool place for one to two weeks. If you want to ripen kiwifruit, you can seal hard kiwifruit and ethylene-producing apples, bananas, pears, etc. in a plastic bag to accelerate softening.
pineapple
Pineapple contains a lot of fructose, glucose, vitamin B and C, phosphorus, citric acid and protease and other nutrients, but it is difficult to peel, and it will be "zipped" when eaten directly. .

Summer fruit consumption tips
1. Seedless watermelon can be purchased with confidence, not a hormone effect
From a biological point of view, seedless watermelon is four times the natural diploid watermelon and the mutagenic one The triploid watermelon formed by the hybridization of different watermelons does not have the ability to reproduce and naturally cannot form seeds. It is not a function of "hormones". Therefore, consumers do not need to worry and can eat with confidence.
2. After buying rotten fruit, can I continue to eat it after cutting off the rotten part?
first know the cause of "rotten". If it is caused by mechanical damage such as collision during transportation, or frostbite and discoloration, it will not harm your health and you can eat it in a short time.
However, if it is due to mildew caused by long storage time, it is not edible. After the fruit spoils, microorganisms may produce various harmful substances in the metabolic process. Certain fungal metabolites also have carcinogenic effects, and can spread from the rotten part to the uncorrupted part through the juice. Therefore, the seemingly intact parts may have been infected by bacteria and fungi, but they cannot be observed with the naked eye.
3. The refrigerator is not a safe, so it needs to be stored reasonably according to the characteristics of melons and fruits.
Not all fruits are suitable for storage in low temperature environments. Tropical fruits such as mangoes, bananas and durians will "frostbite and blacken" phenomenon, but low temperature accelerates it Rotten and spoiled.At the same time, different fruits have different storage periods, so consumers can buy them according to actual needs and consume them as soon as possible.
