The fruit brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western regions was regarded as a mascot in ancient times and even the value of the peel was precious.

Autumn is a joyous season for farmers. In this season, it is not only a bumper harvest of crops, but also a bumper harvest of all kinds of autumn fruits. When it comes to fruits, there are too many fruits in autumn, such as pear, Hawthorn, pomegranate, persimmon, citrus, grapefruit, plantain, sugarcane, kiwifruit, chestnut and so on. I think it's pomegranate.

Perhaps many friends do not know that the common pomegranate is not our native fruit, but a kind of exotic fruit. According to records, when Zhang Qian went to the Western regions in the Han Dynasty, he brought back not only many vegetables that our country did not have, but also some characteristic fruits of the Western regions, and pomegranate was one of them.

Since pomegranate was brought back from the western regions by Zhang Qian, it has blossomed in all parts of our country and has now become a kind of fruit found in both the south and the north.

Because the pomegranate is full of seeds, the pomegranate has been regarded as a mascot in China's traditional culture since ancient times, meaning "many children and many blessings."

I remember when I was a child, there was a pomegranate tree planted in my grandmother's yard. At this time of year, the pomegranate on the tree would bend the branches and hang heavily on the branches.

When I was a child, I didn't like pomegranate most. I thought it was troublesome to eat pomegranate, but I was always happy to see the pomegranate tree blossom every year. I thought it was the most beautiful pomegranate tree.

In fact, many people do not know that pomegranate trees can blossom three times a year and bear fruit three times a year. Pomegranate blossoms are relatively long, so they bloom one after another. Many people think that they bloom once, but they actually bloom three times.

Speaking of pomegranate, everyone is no stranger. Peeling the pomegranate skin, it is full of pomegranate seeds. When eating, you have to eat the pomegranate seeds, chew them, and then spit them out. Don't underestimate it and feel that you haven't eaten anything. In fact, you eat a lot of nutritional value.

The anthocyanin in pomegranate is a special substance to protect the eyes, so eating pomegranate can protect the eyes. The sweet fruit juice of pomegranate is rich in vitamin C, and its vitamin C content is more than double that of apples and pears.

And eat more pomegranate, as well as beauty, prevent anemia, anti-aging effect, which for beautiful women, it is really a magical fruit that can not only satisfy appetite but also beauty.

Many friends will throw away the pomegranate peel when eating pomegranate, but they do not realize that the value of the pomegranate peel is also very valuable. according to records, pomegranate peel is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, with astringent intestinal diarrhea, hemostasis, deworming and other functions, so if you do not understand, it is really a waste to throw it away.

In addition to the skin, the flowers, roots and leaves of the pomegranate tree are also treasures, all of which have certain medicinal value, and generally only the old peasant friends in the countryside know the value of the pomegranate.
