The difference between mangosteen oil bamboo and flower bamboo

Mangosteen is a very famous tropical fruit, which can be eaten raw, juiced, salad, canned and so on. It is one of the fruits that many people love. So do you know the difference between mangosteen oil bamboo and flower bamboo?

I. the difference between mangosteen oil bamboo and flower bamboo

Mangosteen is mainly divided into oil bamboo fruit, flower bamboo fruit and sand bamboo fruit, the main differences are as follows:

1. Oil bamboo. Under normal circumstances, mangosteen trees take more than 7 years to bear fruit, and the fruit of 7-15-year-old fruit trees is called oil bamboo. The pericarp of Phyllostachys pubescens is bright black and has an oily luster.

two。 Flower bamboo. Generally refers to the 15-50-year-old fruit, the skin of the lack of oil luster, showing a dark red or purplish red, looks dirty, easy to identify.

3. Sand bamboo. Sand bamboo is the oldest, generally more than 50 years old mangosteen trees, sand bamboo can be described as the name, the whole body skin is extremely rough and without any luster, looks old and dry, especially the pericarp is covered with a lot of pockmarks, the skin is dark purple or dark red.

Among the three kinds of mangosteen, Phyllostachys pubescens and sand bamboo experience sufficient sunlight to absorb enough nutritious water, thus making the fruit taste better, especially sand bamboo. There are very few "glass flesh (transparent clean flesh)" or dead bamboo (completely bad fruit), which is of better quality. What is more important is the taste of sand bamboo, although mangosteen has a sour taste, but only sand bamboo not only has a trace of sweetness in the acid, but also has a better delicate and sweet taste.

Second, how to select mangosteen

1. Look at the pedicel color: when selecting mangosteen, we must pay attention to the color of the leaf pedicel below the pedicel. The greener the mangosteen leaf petal is, the more fresh it is. If the color turns brown or black, it means that the mangosteen has been kept for a long time and is not fresh.

two。 Pinch the shell: gently press with the thumb, the shell is elastic, if the place you press can be restored immediately, it means it is fresh. If the shell is too hard to press, put the mangosteen back in place decisively.

3. Number of pedicle pedicles at the bottom of mangosteen: there are usually 4 to 8 pedicle pedicles at the bottom of mangosteen. The number of pedicle pedicles is the same as that of pulp. The more pedicle pedicles, the more pulp slices. The more pulp, the smaller the core. Some kernels can even be eaten directly. Therefore, it is necessary to decisively choose mangosteen with many pedicels.

Mangosteen is very easy to deteriorate, if you want to put longer, you must ensure low temperature and less oxygen. In general, tropical fruit cannot be stored in the refrigerator, but mangosteen is different. Because low temperature can reduce the loss of water, reduce the activity of Pectinase and delay aging, mangosteen should be refrigerated in the refrigerator.
