Tianshui City, Gansu Province held the 2020 Huaniu Apple Grand Prix, and the selected "Huaniu King" was finally sold for 21,800 yuan.
This price is higher than the 19,800 yuan sold for a single apple last year.
Netizens joked: “One mouthful is a month’s salary.”
When it comes to Huaniu apples, many people may not be able to react at once, but when it comes to imported snake fruits, Everyone will not feel unfamiliar.
The Huaniu apple is actually an apple that is very similar in appearance to the imported snake fruit. It is an apple variety introduced from abroad in Tianshui, Gansu Province in the 1950s. It belongs to the same marshal family as the American snake fruit. However, due to different environmental climates, different apple flavors are created:
First of all, Huaniu apples are plumper, rounder, smoother and larger than imported snake fruits.
Secondly, thanks to the advantages of local cultivation, the freshness of Huaniu apples is unmatched by imported snake fruits.
Just imagine, it has been half a month since the imported snake fruit came to my country from abroad. It has to go through many hurdles such as wholesalers, middlemen, supermarkets/fruit vendors, etc. It has gone through ninety-nine times. Eighty-one difficulties can come into your hands. Huaniu apples are shipped directly from the Tianguo Garden in Gansu, fresh from the trees, and delivered as quickly as possible. There is no need to elaborate on the difference.
In addition, the most talked about feature of Huaniu apple is that it can be eaten twice as much as one fruit.
Freshly cut off the tree, the flesh is dense and crunchy. The rich apple aroma is paired with a sweet and crisp taste. The full apple juice water heals the tired soul and makes people linger. It is most suitable for young people who are tired from work. People replenish energy.
After being left for a period of time, the taste of Huaniu becomes delicate, soft, sweet and smooth. At this time, it is most suitable for the elderly and children with bad teeth. It is also an excellent choice as complementary food for babies. Eat it directly with a spoon, each spoonful is sweet, full of life's little blessings!
Huaniu apples are my country’s first apple variety to obtain an official trademark in the international market. As early as 1965, Huaniu apples were transported to Hong Kong for trial marketing. With their superior taste, they became a blockbuster and successfully occupied the local market. .
After evaluation in the local market, the Huaniu apple is the best among all the apples, and its quality exceeds that of the American snake fruit. It won the title of "World's Ace Apple" in one fell swoop and became one of the three most famous apples in the world, comparable to the American snake fruit and Japan's Fuji. Apple brand.
The Huaniu apple’s “one fruit, two edibles” feature not only combines the advantages of American snake fruit and Japanese Fuji, but is also far superior to both in other aspects.
Compared with the slightly sour taste of Japanese Fuji apples, the rich apple sweetness of Huaniu apples is even better. Compared with American snake apples, the price of my country's local Huaniu apples is obviously more advantageous.
Thanks to the superior environment and climate, Tianshui, Gansu Province has become the hometown of Huaniu apple, the largest marshal apple in Asia.
The local altitude is between 1000-2100 meters, and it has a warm temperate semi-humid and semi-arid climate.
Due to moderate rainfall, large temperature difference between day and night, deep soil and sufficient sunlight, unique Huaniu apples are produced, which are not only rich in aroma, but also have fine flesh, small core and rich juice. Smooth and beautiful, with a crispy texture and a unique flavor of alpine farming.
In the early years, Huaniu apples were called the "Hermès" of the apple industry. The price was as high as ten yuan per catty, and it was not uncommon to sell for more than twenty yuan per catty. The price is almost the same as imported American snake fruit.
Just last year, Huaniu Apple’s sales exceeded one million in one day during an e-commerce event on a social platform.
But this year, the economy is generally bleak. Although the value of American snake fruits remains high, the market treatment of our local Huaniu apples is obviously bleak, and even reduced to the point where no one buys them.
The industry has asked, "From being unavailable to no one eating it, what happened to Huaniu apples?"
In supermarkets, ordinary Huaniu apples (domestic red snake fruit) sold for 8.8 yuan/catty, and the imported American red snake fruit sold for as high as 18.8 yuan/catty, while the high-quality Huaniu apples originating in Gansu could not be sold.
Tianshui, Gansu Province is a village surrounded by mountains. Farmers have been working hard for a year and have little income. The only solace is the Huaniu apples grown by themselves.
Farmer uncles and farmer aunts get up early every day and spend a lot of energy from pruning trees and fertilizing to watering and spraying pesticides, just to produce fruits with good taste and color, whether they are eaten by themselves or given to the elderly. It is an excellent choice for eating, making complementary food for babies, and even giving as holiday gifts.
