Some people say that Su Dongpo likes to eat lychees, but there is another fruit, Su Dongpo actually likes to eat more.

What is this fruit?

It is the bayberry of Zhejiang.

When Su Dongpo was in Zhejiang, there was a famous sentence - "Fujian and Guangxi lychees, Xiliang grapes, not as good as Wuyue bayberry". In the heart of the gourmand Lao Su, Zhejiang's bayberry is a more delicious fruit than Minguang lychee and Xiliang grapes.

This year's bayberry has already been listed, and most of the bayberry listed in the first few months are early-maturing bayberry from Yunnan, like Zhejiang bayberry is not long on the market.

At present, Zhejiang bayberry is gradually pouring into the market in large quantities.

However, in recent years, bayberry has produced a new problem that Su Dongpo can't imagine, that is, there are sometimes too many fruit insects in bayberry.

After many girls saw the insects in the flesh of bayberry, they were really afraid that they didn't dare to eat bayberry anymore.

Are the bugs in bayberry really that scary?

What's going on with bayberry this year?

Let's talk about the current price situation of bayberry.

A few months ago, Yunnan bayberry was sold for more than 100 yuan a catty shortly after it was listed, and the price dived day after day, reaching 40-50 yuan a catty, and then falling to 10-20 yuan a catty.

This price is actually normal, Yunnan fruits are basically "early" on the market, the price is a race against time, starting to be high, and the price will fall more after a large number of listings.

At present, the price of Zhejiang bayberry is a bit varied.

Two days ago, a batch of Zhejiang bayberry exported to Dubai was sold for more than 500 yuan a catty in Dubai. It is one of the most expensive fruits to be exported.

Many people are curious, do people in Dubai love to eat bayberry?

Definitely.

Those who have this question may not know much about Zhejiang, the production area of bayberry. There are many people who do foreign trade in Zhejiang, and there are also many people who engage in foreign trade in Dubai. There are many Zhejiang people who have lived in Dubai for many years. There are also many foreign businessmen who come to Zhejiang to see the goods.

It is not surprising that Zhejiang's bayberry is sold in Dubai, and some Dubaiites who often come to the mainland may buy and eat it, and there are also many Zhejiang businessmen who buy it and eat it.

Therefore, the export of bayberry to Dubai is not just "publicity, face-saving things", there is a demand.

Of course, bayberry exported to Dubai sells for more than 500 yuan a catty, which is only the retail price in Dubai. The price when exporting from Zhejiang is not so high, only about 100 yuan a catty.

This is the price of the top bayberry, and it is grown in greenhouses. Compared with previous years, the price is about the same, and people who often come into contact with greenhouse bayberry should not feel so exaggerated.

The price of bayberry, which is currently on the market, mainly depends on the variety and production area.

In the production area, the most common thing you usually hear about may be Xianju bayberry. Xianju is not the name of a bayberry variety, but a production area of bayberry. At the same time, it is also a well-known production area of bayberry. Xianju is a county in Taizhou, Zhejiang.

At present, Zhejiang bayberry in the market is almost the only one, and the price is higher than that of other production areas; The price of bayberry in several other producing areas is somewhat low.

In terms of variety, like the Dongkui bayberry that I have heard a lot, this is a well-known variety of bayberry. The birthplace of this variety is also in Taizhou, Zhejiang, which is now the Huangyan District of Taizhou, Zhejiang.

The price of Dongkui bayberry is relatively high, the price of water chestnut bayberry is low, and the price of other early-maturing bayberry varieties is relatively lower.

Supermarket real shot

The current retail price of Dongkui bayberry in Zhejiang is about 30-40 yuan a catty, and the wholesale price in the southern wholesale market is about 11-14 yuan per catty.

Compared with the price of bayberry some time ago, the price of Zhejiang Dongkui bayberry can be regarded as pulling the price of bayberry up again.

Some time ago, the bayberry in Guangxi fell to 7-9 yuan a catty.

In many cases, the retail price deviation of bayberry in various places is very large, and there are two main factors. One is the difference between the production area and the season, the bayberry market in the Zhejiang production area is generally expensive; The second is the cost of preservation and transportation, bayberry can be said to be one of the most difficult fruits to preserve, this thing is slightly deviated from the preservation, and it cannot be sold. The cost of attrition is very high.

Therefore, in the northern region, which is far away from the production area, the retail price of bayberry may be higher.

Are bayberry bugs really that scary?

First of all, we must first figure out what the worm in the bayberry is? Some people say that the bugs in bayberry are the "eggs" of flies, which is commonly known as "qu".

It's all grandstanding.

The insects in the bayberry are the larvae of fruit flies, and when it grows up, it will become a small "little flying worm", and sometimes when you go to the fruit store or put some fruits for a long time, there will be these small flying insects.

Many people think that it is because the fruit is rotten, and the flying insects are lured from the outside. In fact, these small flying insects have been hiding on the fruit in the form of eggs or larvae. As soon as the weather is hot, the fruit hatches as rotting.

What is the difference between fruit flies and flies? There are many differences, and this one should be the one we are most concerned about.

The fly is scavenging, it eats everything, so the fly is dirty. But the fruit fly is a picky eater, it eats fruit specifically and is not carrivorous. This is the fundamental difference between the two.

The larvae of fruit flies are basically pure proteins from a material point of view.

Of course, we are not like some other science popularizers, who recommend that everyone eat bayberry with insects to supplement protein.

Such "outrageous remarks" are difficult to say as an agricultural person.

Let's just say that the little white worms in bayberry are not so scary, and it doesn't matter if you eat them without seeing them. The so-called out of sight is out of mind. As long as you can't see bugs in bayberry, there are no bugs. It's like, our world is full of viruses and bacteria, everywhere. We can't see, so we don't feel dirty.

If that high-powered microscope were to look at the environment in the room every day, many people might feel that it was too dirty to live in.

Eating bayberry is like this, and you can't be psychologically burdened.

If you encounter bayberry bugs, you can soak them in salt water to wash them, or you can just stop eating them, after all, most of the time you eat fruits to satisfy your cravings, and you are not hungry. There is no need to grieve yourself.

Some people say that "there are a lot of bugs in every bayberry".

This is certainly true, but to say such things regardless of the occasion is actually somewhat problematic with emotional intelligence. For example, when someone else is happily trying to buy some bayberry to eat, he said something like this, even if he doesn't care, he may feel "diaphragm".

We think that if you eat bayberry, don't be distracted, as long as you can't see it, don't think about these messy things. If you think about it this way, there are not many fruits in the world that can be eaten.

Can bayberry fruit fly be completely controlled in agriculture?

Because fruit flies are a major problem for the global fruit industry.

It is not only found on bayberry, but also on other fruits such as cherries, watermelon, blueberries, small tomatoes, etc.

It's also very difficult to prevent. As soon as the weather is hot, it reproduces quickly, and many fruit trees only find that they have multiplied after they have borne fruit. There is no way to spray pesticides at this time, especially fruits like bayberry. At this time, spraying pesticides may bring much more harm than eating some fruit fly larvae.

Now there are also some means of controlling fruit flies, such as trapping fruit flies with attractants, covering fruit trees with fly nets, and planting bayberry directly in greenhouses.

These are the ways to do it.

The effect of fly nets and imitation fruit flies planted in greenhouses is relatively good. However, the investment cost is higher and more troublesome.

From the perspective of agricultural technology, it is difficult to completely eliminate fruit flies at present.

I can only try my best to solve it, and if I can't solve it, I can only accept it calmly.

When eating bayberry, you should think more about Su Dongpo's poems:

Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not groan and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life.

Be open-minded and don't be too serious about this "unclean" world.
