Tianfu Nature 丨 "Persimmon" Ruyi Sweet Honey (July 30, 2022)

Pink green color, four -petaled sepals, and square fruits, this is a small persimmon in summer, which is very exquisite and cute. In the autumn and winter season, orange -red persimmons are full of branches, like a small lantern. Dip the peel, bite a sip, the heart of the heart is full of soft and glutinous.

Compared to the soft and juicy fresh persimmons, the sweet and chewy persimmons inside are the favorite of many children. In rural areas, people often hang the fresh persimmons that are not eaten naturally. As the water evaporates, the fructose will slowly precipitate and form a layer of white frost on the surface. This frosting is the symbol of sweet persimmons.

In the era of food shortage, persimmons were also farmers' life -saving food, known as "hardcore crops" and "wooden grain". Because the persimmon tree is very adaptable, it can grow in mountainous areas with poor natural conditions, and the output is high. After eating, they have a sense of satiety. People often eat persimmons to fill their hunger. The persimmons that can't be eaten can be made into persimmons long -term storage. Now, because of the "homophonic stalk" of "persimmon Ruyi", persimmons have become inspired sources of jewelry, home supplies, and paintings. These creations with the theme of persimmons all express people's expectations for a better life.

"Journey to the West" once said that there are seven absolute persimmons: "One Yishou, two yin, three bird nests, four insects, five frost leaves can be played, six accelerated, seven leaves are hypertrophy." Persimmon is indeed rich in nutrition. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements. Research has confirmed that the vitamin C content of persimmons is more than 10 times that of apples.

Persimmon also has high medicinal value and economic value. It is rich in pectin, which is a water -soluble dietary fiber, which has a good intestinal laxative effect. The polyphenols in persimmon fruit are also excellent antioxidants, which can prevent atherosclerosis and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Li Shizhen once recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that persimmon has "the function of strengthening the spleen, astringent intestines, coughing, and hemostasis." The famous medicalist Tao Hongjing also mentioned in "Famous Medicine" that persimmon has the effect of clearing heat and moisturizing the lungs, phlegm and relieving cough, and treats cough, thirst, vomiting blood, and sores.
