The fruit of this fruit tree from Africa is shaped like a giant pod, but farmers sell it as fruit.

It is said that the countryside is a treasure land, not only the urban granary, but also a variety of rare and strange animals and plants, such as ginseng fruit trees with human-shaped fruits, Buddhist sacred trees, and dragon blood trees that stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, all kinds of trees have their own functions and characteristics.

There are so many trees in the countryside that you can almost see the green when you go out, but in the past, the role of trees was nothing more than building houses and building sheds and cooking as firewood. As a result, farmers ignored many precious tree species that could make money.

In most rural areas, there is an unwritten rule that century-old trees cannot be cut down. there are many old trees in our village, the common ones are evergreen and sour horn trees, among which sour horn trees can live up to 200 years. This is extremely rare in rural areas where trees are not much managed. In addition to the long life, the fruit of the sour horn tree is also a major feature of the countryside.

The sour horn tree is called Luo Wangzi, and it is also called longevity tree locally. It can blossom and bear fruit in the third year, and it can be as tall as an ordinary building in the fifth year. In spring, children in the village not only like to take advantage of the rising water in the rain to pick up fish and shrimp, but also like to climb the sour horn tree to pick the sour horn.

The ripe sour horn is yellowish brown and looks like a sun-dried oversized pod that hangs from the tree like a bunch of yellow grapes. Naughty children almost pick and eat one by one, and when the adults in the family come home from work and see a pile of sour horn shells under the tree, they will inevitably be scolded. It is a rural treasure that can sell money.

Sour horn has a thick shell, which cannot be eaten directly. The flesh is close to the shell and can only be eaten after going to the root. It is sour and sweet to eat, and it is most popular with four-or five-year-olds. We will also peel the sour horn and wash it into juice in a small clay pot, filter it and put it in the refrigerator. When we don't digest or lose our appetite, we will drink a mouthful of homemade sour horn juice, which can be an appetizer.

The calcium content of sour horn is as high as that of eggs. When the sour horn is ripe, it is first given to the long-growing children in the family and the old people with poor legs and feet. The old people in the village all say that eating the fruit from this kind of longevity tree will definitely lead to a long life.

Yunnan is a rich producing area of sour horn, where the sour horn is bigger and more juicy. Some high-end restaurants in the city often buy sour horn in the hands of farmers. They pour some sour horn juice on cold cakes, cold noodles and various dishes, which not only tastes different, but also increases the number of customers.

Due to the high output and wide market, there are more and more people growing sour horn in rural areas in recent years. Sour horn is not only a fruit with unique taste, but also an appetizing health care product, but also a good magic weapon to get rich.
