When it comes to fruits with high vitamin C content, many people will immediately think of kiwifruit. After all, it is the old "king of vitamin C". But in the countryside, there is a kind of wild fruit, its vitamin C content is higher than kiwifruit, hundreds of times higher than it. However, few people know about this wild fruit for two main reasons. One is that it grows mainly in Yungui area, and it is rare in other places. The second reason is that this kind of wild fruit is covered with thorns all over the body, so it is difficult to taste, so it can not be popularized all over the country as a fruit. Have you ever seen this wild fruit?

This kind of wild fruit is called "Rosa roxburghii", which is praised by many ancient books in our country. The eating method of Rosa roxburghii is recorded in detail in Guiyang Chronicles: "those who make wine with sticky rice will taste sweet and can eat." In Guizhou, when Rosa roxburghii is ripe, a large number of Rosa roxburghii is picked to drink wine. Rosa roxburghii wine is sweet and mellow, which has the health effect of invigorating the stomach and relieving pain. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Rosa roxburghii wine was also shipped to the capital for sale and was loved by aristocrats. Unfortunately, wild Rosa roxburghii roxburghii resources are much less, in Guizhou, farmers' friends brewed Rosa roxburghii wine is self-sufficient.

Just like its name, Rosa roxburghii is covered with thorns all over the body, even on the branches. Although its branches are not tall, the shape of the tree is very inflated, so you should be very careful when picking, otherwise it will be stabbed accidentally. The ripening season of Rosa roxburghii Tratt is from August to September. After ripening, the fruit is yellow, some ripe with a little redness, and the aroma is very strong. When eating, remove the prickly skin and seeds inside, the flesh is more crisp, sweet and sour delicious, with the taste of pear, so it is called "Rosa roxburghii"!

Although it is difficult to eat directly, but its nutritional value is extremely high, especially the vitamin C content, can be called the "overlord" of the fruit, is the well-deserved king of vitamin C.

The content of vitamin C in the pulp of Rosa roxburghii Tratt is about 2500 mg, which is relatively rare in fruits. Take kiwifruit and apple as an example. In the same 100 grams of pulp, the vitamin C content of kiwifruit is 62 milligrams, while that of apples is 4 milligrams. In other words, the vitamin C content of Rosa roxburghii Tratt is 40 times that of kiwifruit and 625 times that of apple. At the same quality, the vitamin C obtained from eating one Rosa roxburghii can top 600 apples. Isn't it pretty amazing?

In addition to vitamin C, Rosa roxburghii also has a high medicinal value, often eaten can delay aging, enhance human resistance, but also help the body to discharge excess heavy metal lead and so on. Now Rosa roxburghii has been processed into jam, preserved fruit, fruit juice, wine and other products by intelligent people, which used to be difficult to taste and has become delicious.
