In rural areas, there are many delicacies that can not be eaten normally, such as horsebee honey, wild mushrooms, wild bamboo shoots and other delicious and nutritious natural game can not be found, not to mention that some things are extremely dangerous to pick, even if they are sold, if they are rare, the price can make people swallow.

Most of the rural bazaars sell some ordinary fruits and vegetables, such as some precious mountain products such as ginseng and Cordyceps sinensis, so even less expensive food such as wild bamboo shoots is difficult to buy in some counties, not to mention exotic fruits and vegetables restricted by region and climate.

Speaking of strange, I think of a unique fruit Aiyu fruit in the rural areas of our country. This kind of fruit with a beautiful name is unique to our country and has never been seen by foreigners. It can be said that it is a really rare rural treasure.

Aiyu fruit looks like a green spore when it first grows. As the fruit grows, its epidermis changes from dark green to light green with white spots. Although this love jade fruit is not very good-looking, but it is not easy to eat, it is not only difficult to pick, but also the eating procedure is not simple.

The wild love jade fruit has a well-developed root system, and its branches will be attached to other plants, especially like to climb tall trees, as high as the tree can climb.

In some mountainous areas of Taiwan, there are many trees more than a dozen stories high. When farmers go out to work, they can always see wild jade fruits on these trees, but because the trees are too high, they dare not easily climb and pick them. Sometimes they are lucky enough to pick up some unrotten jade fruits on the ground, and those that have been pecked by birds are taken back by farmers to plant seeds.

Like figs, Aiyu fruit is a strange fruit with only fruit but no flowers. It cannot be eaten directly because it has seeds all over its belly. People usually eat "jelly" made of its yellowish seeds. These dense, slender seeds are wrapped in thick white flesh.

In the past, farmers picked those newly ripe Aiyu fruits which were still relatively hard. They were usually picked home and peeled in half with a knife. The white flesh was removed and dried together with the peel.

The dried seeds are golden. When you want to eat, take out the love jade seeds and beat them repeatedly. After hammering, there will be sticky juice oozing out. After being placed for a period of time, they will condense into glittering and translucent "jelly", also called cold powder.

Aiyuzi is often used to make Aiyu jelly and Aiyu Jelly (Vegetarian Gelatin), not to mention having a cup of Aiyu Jelly (Vegetarian Gelatin) in summer. Aiyuzi can clear away heat and drive away fire, and it is a rare cool delicacy in rural summer. Aiyu fruit is very popular in China, and many foreigners think it can be eaten directly like apples when they see it for the first time in China.

In recent years, with the improvement of cultivation technology, artificially planted love jade fruit is not as thick as wild love jade fruit branches, generally only grow to two or three meters, and its yield is getting higher and higher, many people can eat.

Dear friends, have you ever seen this strange fruit?
