This kind of fruit is like a pear, but it is not a pear. It is called the king of vitamin C. one can hold 60 apples.

When it comes to fruits with high vitamin C content, jujube and kiwifruit are among the best. However, with the progress of agricultural technology, people have cultivated a lot of new fruits, which not only have higher appearance, but also taste and nutrition. In the south of China, there is a kind of fruit that looks like a pear but not a pear. It is a popular fruit all over the country in recent years. Its skin is blue, its taste is crisp and refreshing, and its vitamin C content is very high. It is called the "king of vitamin C" of the new generation.

The first time I saw this kind of fruit was in the supermarket. I saw the label on it with honey dates. Although the price was not cheap, it sold for 10 yuan per jin, but I was attracted by the name, so I bought a jin. Did not expect that it is really worthy of the name, very sweet and crisp, enough moisture, and is indeed different from the usual fruit. Only later did I know that this fruit was shipped from Guangxi and its original name was green jujube. It is different from the jujube trees in the north. It is a fruit tree that has been selected and bred for many years. The fruit shape is relatively large. A jujube can be as big as an egg. It is said that the heaviest one can reach half a jin.

Green jujube is known as "one jujube three flavors". If you taste it carefully, you will find that it has not only the sweet taste of apple, but also the taste of pear and jujube. And green jujube is also known as vitamin pills on the tree, which is due to its relatively high vitamin C content. Generally, per 100 grams of green jujube pulp, vitamin C content is 240 mg, which is 4 times higher than kiwifruit (60 mg). Take apples that people often eat, for example, the vitamin C content of every 100 grams of apples is 4 milligrams, green jujube is 60 times that of it. Under the same conditions, the vitamin C contained in a green jujube can top 60 apples.

Green jujube is mainly planted in the south of China, there are many varieties, the season on the market is generally winter. In order to ensure quality, many winter fruits are grown in greenhouses, and so are green dates. Coupled with the freight and labor costs to all parts of the country, the price of green jujube is slightly more expensive than that of ordinary fruit. The price per jin is generally more than 5 yuan. If it is a big green jujube produced in Hainan, the price will be more expensive.

Readers, have you ever eaten green dates?
