The furry green-heart fruit in the supermarket, sometimes called the "creatures" and sometimes called the "breaks"? It's the same look, and it's a circle of black seeds, and it tastes just the same. How come you're two names
This is not a “import change of name” style, nor is it a word game played by traders, a century-old history of plant migration behind them, and a decades-long emotional change between chinese citizens and this fruit。
Today we're talking about the same kind of fruit, called "the monkeys" in front of our home, and when we come back from the country, it's "the odds"。
It started more than a hundred years ago, and the earliest source of this was hubei yichang in china. In 1904, a new zealand female teacher, catherine isabel faall, picked up several wild monkey seeds while visiting her family in hubei。
Back then, we called this fruit "fruit" or "monkey-eating fruit" and it was called "monkey-eating fruit," but nobody took it back, the little wild fruit from the mountains. But when they arrive in new zealand, they plant the fruit, slowly improve it, and they choose a new species that are big, sweet and durable。
By 1959, new zealand farmers had decided to export to make money, not to call it "china jealous" and to sound too corny to be misleading about berries. So they came up with a new name, "kiwifruit," and it was translated as "a strange fruit."。
The name came from new zealand's national bird, the furry, round and rolling bird, a kind and home-grown symbol of the fruit, and it sounded both friendly and perceptive。
This wild fruit, which came out of the mountains of china, was transformed into a new zealand national business card, sold to europe and the united states of america, and it was so popular。
But the roots of this fruit are still in china, and while it is being used abroad as a “mixed fruit”, we have no time in the country. In the 1970s and 1980s, the wuhan botanical gardens of the central college of science, henan western gorge and shaanxi mei county began to systematically study wild monkey resources and engage in artificial cultivation。
Particularly since 1978, agricultural scientists have been able to select many good varieties such as the "face" and "cyan" and have gradually grown into large-scale cultivation. By around 2000, china had become not only the origin of the monkeys, but also the largest and most widely cultivated country in the world。
According to publicly available data from the ministry of agriculture and rural development, by 2023, china had more than 4 million acres of chrysanthemum cultivation, with steady annual production at the highest level in the world. That is to say, you're eating a lot of “import nuts” that your ancestors may have moved out of the mountains of china for three generations。
And the name "the monkey" that we've been calling all along has been written in don dynasty's "the monkey's fest," lee tsai-jin also clearly wrote about its medicinal value in this draft。
Thus, the "fruit monkey" is an old chinese name of 800, with historical temperature and cultural roots; the "genie" is an international laissez-passer under commercial packaging, following a branding route。
Well, since it's a family thing, why do you sell it in two? What's the price? It's not complicated. First of all, not all monkeys can be called "surprising."。
The market is marked as “gentle fruit” and is basically a type of hayward introduced in new zealand, with a symmetrical, moist, long shelf, suitable for long transport。
The country's home-grown species of monkeys, some acid, some red hearts, some leather, though not necessarily bad in taste, were one step behind in appearance unity and supply chain management. This, coupled with the widespread perception among consumers that “foreign fruit is higher”, led to the idea that “generic fruit” was once treated as a high-end fruit with natural higher prices。
However, the situation has changed over the years, as national production technologies have improved and the quality of the monkeys in the production areas of sichuan pujiang, shaanxi zhou zhou and guizhou has become better, and the government is promoting the construction of regional public brands, such as the quizhong qianu qiu, which are certified as national geographical indications。
An increasing number of supermarkets have begun to sell home-grown ecstasy and imported ecstasy together, and the price gap has become smaller, even with some organically grown national fruit, taste and sweetness overloading imports. That's when people realized that our fruit didn't lose。
Monkeys and ecstasy are like two names of the same person, one at home called milk and the other at school. It doesn't matter what you call it. It's who has the name and the voice. In the past, we only knew it was a wild fruit in the mountains, not aware of its economic potential, which resulted in the cultivation and extension of it, which in turn was expensive。
Today, not only have we recovered the scale of cultivation, but we are also at the forefront of innovations in varieties, such as yellow hearts' cucumbers, red hearts' eastern reds, all of china’s new products of choice, and patent protection on the international market。
The real bottom isn't a new name, but it's a way to keep root in its own hands, isn't it
