How much is the price of blueberries per jin

Blueberries are not only rich in conventional nutrients, but also rich in flavonoids and polysaccharides, so they are called "fruit queen" and "king of berries". Imported blueberries have always been the "aristocracy" of fruits. However, under the squeeze of domestic blueberries, blueberries begin to step off the "altar" and play the pro-people card. Let's take a look at the price of blueberries.

How much is the price of blueberries per jin

The price of a box of 200 grams of blueberries in the supermarket is only 19 yuan, and the price of a jin of blueberries is only 48 yuan. Blueberries in some supermarkets are on sale, and the price of five boxes of blueberries is only 55 yuan. Many citizens are choosing and buying blueberries. A few years ago, blueberries often cost nearly 100 yuan. Citizens are puzzled about this. Why did blueberries with high prices suddenly become so close to the people?

It turns out that in the past, blueberries in China were mainly imported, mostly from Chile, the United States and other countries. after taking into account the tariff, the purchase price of a box of 125g blueberries is about 16 yuan. Due to the enthusiasm of consumers for blueberries, blueberries have been planted in many places in China. Shandong, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang and other places have blueberry planting bases. Because of the reduction in transportation and tariff costs, the purchase price of a box of 125g domestic blueberries is about 8 yuan. Far lower than the import price, wholesalers prefer domestic blueberries, and the price of domestic blueberries is also more popular with consumers.

Selection and purchase of blueberries

Generally speaking, picking blueberries does not come with leaves and stems. Like many fruits, fresh blueberries have tight flesh and look dry, full and smooth. The specific selection methods are as follows:

1. Color: the skin of ripe blueberries is dark purple or blue-black, covered with white cream. Red blueberries are not ripe and are generally used to make salads and other dishes; the white frost is not obvious or without white frost, which means that it is not fresh for too long; if it is black, it is fake.

2. Shape: the natural blueberry is not big, the average weight of the fruit is 0.5-2.5g, and the maximum weight is 5g, so the bigger the blueberry, the better. Good blueberries are round and uniform in size, with smooth and non-sticky skin; uneven size and rough epidermis indicate dysplasia.

3. Pulp: pinch with your hand, good blueberry fruit will bear fruit; if it is pinched, there is juice oozing, it means it has been ripe; if the pulp is shrivelled and the skin is wrinkled, it means that it has been stored for too long and the moisture is seriously lost, so it is not suitable to buy.

4. Taste: good blueberries have a rich aroma, taste sweet and sour, without kernels; if the aroma is shallow and sour, it means it is not ripe; the ones with large kernels are fake and should not be bought.

Eating methods of blueberries

1. Direct consumption: wild blueberries have not been sprayed with pesticides, which is more environmentally friendly. Soak the blueberries in clean water for five minutes, stir them gently with your hands for a few times, and then rinse with water to eat them raw. But if you feel that the above method is not very hygienic, you can soak the blueberries in light salt water for three minutes, and then rinse with water for three minutes.

2. Blueberry jam: pour sugar into blueberries and marinate, let pectin seep out, squeeze in lemon juice and mix well to adjust the acidity and sweetness of the jam.

3. Blueberry drink: take a blueberry, wrap it with clean gauze and squeeze out the juice. Add 10 times the water and sugar to the juice, heat it, boil it, put it in the refrigerator to cool and drink, taste sweet and sour, natural and fragrant, appetizing and healthy.

4. Sugar mixed blueberries: add the right amount of sugar to the selected blueberries, crush them, mix them well, taste sour and sweet, and relieve alcohol.

5. Blueberry buns: add the right amount of sugar to the selected blueberries (no need to thaw), mix them well and make the stuffing of the steamed buns.
