Are plums acidic or alkaline fruits, and how much did they cost per jin in 2019?

Plums are a common fruit in daily life, ranked alongside peaches. Mention plums, and people can't help but pucker their mouths and start salivating; in fact, sourness is not the taste of all plums. Different varieties of plums differ in size, taste and color, and whether eaten raw or pickled, each has its own characteristics. So are plums acidic or alkaline fruits? What was the general price per jin in 2019? Let's take a look together below.

1. Are plums acidic or alkaline fruits?

Plums are acidic fruits; they contain many amino acids, and most of the substances produced after they enter the human digestive system and are broken down are still acidic. If you have abdominal bloating or indigestion, you can eat plums in moderation, because they can increase the secretion of stomach acid and digestive enzymes, thereby speeding up intestinal peristalsis and helping digestion.

It is worth noting that although eating plums has certain benefits, many people fall into a dietary misconception and often eat large amounts of plums, which is unscientific. This is because regularly eating plums in excess can affect the spleen and stomach, causing excessive secretion of stomach acid and leading to a phenomenon of poor appetite.

Long-term consumption of plums can also cause the problem of sore teeth; eat too many and your teeth will feel numb, temporarily unable to eat other hard foods, so it is harmful to our teeth. It is best not to eat plums at night either, and after eating them be sure to remember to brush your teeth in time to protect them.

In summary, those with a weak spleen and stomach should eat less, patients with chronic gastritis should eat less, young children should eat less, and unripe ones should also be eaten in moderation. Only this is a healthy way to eat them.

2. What was the general price of plums per jin in 2019?

In 2019 the price of plums was relatively expensive for the time, basically 10-12 yuan per jin, because it was not yet the season, so compared with the ripening period in July and August the price was indeed higher. Besides the time they hit the market, the price of plums is also affected by variety, quality and market conditions.

When choosing plums, pay attention to observing the color, shape and feel, among other things, to judge whether they are good or poor.

Plums that are round and plump in shape, bright in color with a mix of green and red, and firm rather than very soft when squeezed are generally good plums. If the color is very dark and they feel soft to the touch, they are generally overripe and will not keep long after you buy them.
