This kind of fruit must be fully ripe before it is plucked with high dietary fiber and is known as the fruit of constipation.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, people pay more attention to the matter of "eating". That's why they say "foodie". Domestic ingredients have been unable to satisfy the stomach of foodie, more and more people set their eyes on the other side of the ocean, want to taste a different taste. There are countless kinds of food in the world, but there are not many foods that can be recognized by foreign friends in terms of taste. Because those who can beat other delicacies to enter other countries are all outstanding. Foodie likes all kinds of delicious food, and fruit is no exception. There is a kind of fruit originating in France but imported from the United States, which has become a new favorite of foodies in recent years.

This kind of fruit is not big, about the size of green plum, it is also a kind of plum, called "west plum". In foreign countries, this kind of fruit is regarded as the "king of plums" with high nutritional value. First of all, it has a high content of vitamin A, which is relatively rare in fruit, which contributes to the vision and bone development of the human body. Secondly, it has high content of iron and potassium, which helps to tonify blood and balance human electrolytes. West plum paste made with western plum is one of the excellent supplementary foods for babies and plays a good role in promoting growth and development. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the dietary fiber of western plum is very high, which is known as "good laxative fruit" and "constipation fruit".

As we all know, dietary fiber helps to promote intestinal peristalsis, an adult needs to eat 30 grams of dietary fiber a day to avoid constipation. Experts have found that eating 3 pieces of western plum can meet the daily dietary fiber needs of the human body, so for people with frequent constipation, western plum does have a laxative effect, especially for the elderly. And the west plum is not sour, it is different from the green plum produced in our country, the taste is sweet and juicy, and the sugar content is very high, but the west plum also has a disadvantage, which also leads to its high price.

That is, western plum is one of the few fruits that will not be picked until it is fully ripe, which is mainly related to the way it is picked. Because the yield of western plum is extremely high, in its native California, farmers use machines to hold the branches and shake them. The mature plum falls on the pre-laid conveyor belt and is then transported directly to the processing plant through the conveyor belt. Only ripe plum will fall, immature plum no matter how you shake it is useless. Of course, farmers will not shake trees crazily, otherwise the trees will be shaken to death. Mature plums are not resistant to preservation and the transportation cost is high, so most of them are dried by processing, but cheaper than fresh ones.

After entering the 21st century, Prunus mume was introduced and cultivated from abroad as a new type of fruit, so domestic Prunus mume can also be seen in the market. Friends, have you ever eaten western plum?
