How much is the purchase price of calcium fruit per jin? What effects does it have on the human body?
The scientific name of calcium fruit is actually Prunus humilis (Chinese dwarf cherry), and it is called calcium fruit because its fruit is high in calcium. For most people, this fruit should be quite unfamiliar; it is a minor fruit variety with very limited planting area, mostly concentrated in Shanxi, Shandong and Northeast China, and its yield is not very high either. So what is the purchase price of calcium fruit? What effects does it have on the human body?
1. The purchase price of calcium fruit
Because calcium fruit has a small planting area and limited yield, its price is somewhat higher than that of ordinary fruits. The purchase price in its producing areas is around 10-15 yuan per jin. However, because it does not keep well and must be refrigerated throughout transportation, its price in other regions is relatively high, around 30-50 yuan; the prices here are only for everyone's reference, and more specific prices should be based on the local market price.
Calcium fruit is a new, high-quality fruit variety unique to our country. It was discovered and bred from the wild plant Prunus humilis by Professor Du Junjie, a fruit tree expert in our country, over nearly thirty years. The fruit of calcium fruit is round or oblate, shaped like a cherry, with a glossy surface and no bloom, and comes in many colors such as purple, yellow and red, with very high ornamental value. In recent years, picking orchards have been established in northern regions, and this variety has become a popular fruit.
2. The effects of calcium fruit
Prunus humilis was once used as a tribute offering for the imperial family in history. It is very rich in nutrients, and in particular its calcium content ranks first among all fruits. The calcium contained in Prunus humilis is natural active calcium, which is easy to absorb and highly bioavailable, making it the best fruit for calcium supplementation for the elderly and children. Prunus humilis is also the main original plant of the traditional Chinese medicine Yuliren (bush cherry seed), which has the effect of clearing heat and promoting diuresis, and sells for nearly 100 yuan per kilogram. Yuliren is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and has a history of more than 2000 years of use.
Prunus humilis can not only be used for food, but also has considerable landscaping value. The Prunus humilis plant is small but its flowers are dense, and when mixed with cherry blossoms it can create an extremely beautiful scene. By using Prunus humilis of different flower colors to plant flower beds or flower hedges in courtyards, parks, streets and along both sides of highways, it can create an environmental effect of viewing flowers in spring, admiring leaves in summer and tasting fruit in autumn, giving people an endlessly beautiful enjoyment.
