The lantern plant common in the field is now a high-end fruit.

Abstract: rural children's childhood snacks-Lantern fruits, the price is now comparable to imported fruit

The lantern grass here is called "little girl fruit". When I was a child, many of these wild fruits in the field were often picked and eaten. However, the most delicious girl fruit is still the best ripe, not only no sour taste, but also a touch of milky flavor.

How much is the lantern grass on the market?

Lantern grass, a wild fruit, is grown in many places. Hazi who grew up in the countryside must be very familiar with it, but there are not so many now. I think it has a lot to do with the use of herbicides. However, in recent years, the fruits of lanterns can often be seen in supermarkets and fruit stores, and it seems that the economic value of this small wild fruit has been seen for a long time.

The prices of lantern fruits in supermarkets like ours are generally not low, usually at 17, 18 or 19 yuan per jin. Then I looked on the Internet and found that there were quite a few people selling lantern fruits, and the prices varied, and the highest one could be sold for 30 yuan per jin, which was more expensive than some imported high-grade fruits. It seems that this wild fruit, which used to be common in the countryside, has become a rare fruit.

Since the lantern can be sold at such a high price, it shows that there is a certain market for the lantern. Of course, I personally think that there is a certain false high in this market price, mainly because some city people are not familiar with this kind of fruit, and some people think that this is their own memory. In addition, there are not many farmers planting this kind of fruit at present, so there is such a high price at present.

It is feasible to plant lantern fruits in the countryside.

The idea of planting lantern fruits in rural areas is very good, but it is more safe to do full market research and technical preparation before planting. First of all, let's take a look at the market situation of Lantern fruits. As mentioned above, the price of lantern fruit is very high.

As for why the current price of lantern fruit is so high, I think there are the following reasons.

First of all, the above-mentioned people want to be fresh, because things are rare, lanterns are rare in the market, and the natural price is relatively high.

The second is the yield of lantern fruit, because unlike other fruit trees, lantern fruit can be harvested for several years after planting. Lantern fruit is an annual herb, that is to say, after one year of harvest, it has to continue to be planted in the coming year. And the girl fruit belongs to the Solanaceae plant, the fruit harvest is not large. This is also one of the reasons why girls' fruit prices are high.

In addition, there are hype elements in which a new fruit needs a certain amount of market publicity before promotion. And the girl fruit, which contains some people's childhood memories, is no exception. Lantern fruit not only contains memories, but also has a high nutritional value, which fills the fruit with color. In addition to the value of the fruit itself, there is the fruit packaging, transportation and other costs are also among them, the natural price is not low.

Since the price of lantern fruit is relatively high at present, it shows that it is good to plant lantern fruit at present. The planting technology of lantern fruit is not very difficult. As long as farmers with a certain amount of experience in growing eggplant vegetables can grow lantern fruits well.

Apart from this, the most important thing is the issue of sale. if you want to grow in rural areas, you must understand the local fruit market. Girl fruit, as a fruit with a high price, is not very ideal if it is only sold in rural areas. Therefore, growers need to contact the purchasers in advance so that the risk of planting can be reduced.

Finally, let's talk about the value of lantern fruit.

Not many people know about the medicinal value of lantern fruit. Lantern fruit has a certain heat-clearing and detoxification, antitussive and diuretic effect, it should be said that the efficacy is not very outstanding, can only belong to a very general Chinese medicine.
