What season is Huangmei?

There are many magical climatic phenomena around us, which are often accompanied by the emergence and disappearance of some plant growth. People often talk about Huangmei, Huangmei Tian, Huangmei rain. What season does Huangmei appear?

What season is Huangmei

When Huangmei refers to fruit, it means apricot. The period from June to August is the ripening period of apricot. Apricot sprouts and blossoms in spring, the flowering period is generally between March and April, the flowering period is about half a month, and the maturity of apricot is affected by temperature. Most of them mature in July, similar to the time of wheat harvest, so there is also a saying that "wheat is yellow and apricots are ripe".

Huangmei refers to the weather, commonly known as Huangmei Tian, which occurs every summer from June to July, when the rain continues in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, because apricot is also ripe at this time, and in ancient times apricot was called Huangmei, so this climate is called Meiyu or Huangmei rain.

What should you pay attention to when eating Huangmei?

1. Apricots that are not fully cooked are not recommended. Apricot contains a certain amount of amygdalin, which is high in raw apricot, which will be converted into hydrocyanic acid in the stomach and intestines, which is toxic and can cause food poisoning.

2. Apricot contains apricot hydrosides, which is toxic. Therefore, people with poor liver function and pregnant women, pregnant women and children are not suitable for consumption.

3. Apricot is high in sugar and should not be eaten too much, so as not to aggravate the sugar in the eyes, stomach and intestines, leading to diabetes and obesity.

Taiwan enters the plum around the middle of May and gives birth in the middle of June. Japan enters the plum in late May and comes out in late July.
