What is the difference between cherries (cheli) and cherries (yingtao)? Seven aspects to tell them apart

There are many fruits on the market today that look extremely similar, but in reality they are still different. For example, the difference between pineapples and pineapples, and the difference between cheli and yingtao, can be confusing, and sometimes mislead consumers into buying. So today we will explain where the difference between cheli and yingtao lies? These seven aspects will teach you how to tell them apart!

1. Is cheli actually what we call yingtao?

1. Cheli is a type of cherry (yingtao). There are many varieties of cherry, such as the common large cherry, Hongmi, Hongyan, Zaohong, Xianfeng, Dazi Labins, Huangmi, Meizao, Longguan, Zaodaguo, Labins, Naweng, Meizao and other varieties.

2. Cheli and yingtao have never been the same fruit since ancient times. Only in a broad sense do they look like cherries, so they are classified as a type of cherry.

2. Where is the difference between cheli and yingtao? Seven aspects to teach you how to tell them apart!

1. Difference in origin

Cheli: It is an introduced fruit, mainly produced abroad. Both the United States and Canada have growing areas. It was only introduced to China in recent years and slowly began to be grown.

Yingtao: Its main origin is China. In Heilongjiang and Liaoning in China, there are large areas of cultivation and export.

2. Difference in appearance

Cheli: The cheli commonly seen on the market looks dark red in appearance.

Yingtao: The yingtao commonly seen on the market is mainly red to light red in appearance.

3. Difference in taste

Cheli: The fruit is relatively firm and fleshy, with more juice when eaten and a fairly good mouthfeel.

Yingtao: The fruit is relatively small, with not much flesh, and when eaten it is sweet with some sourness mixed in.

4. Difference in maturity and market time

Cheli: Every year in June, cheli begin to mature and go on the market, continuing until the end of August.

Yingtao: Every year in May, yingtao mature and go on the market, lasting only this one month.

5. Difference in nutritional value

Cheli: The main nutritional components are iron, dietary fiber, melatonin, quercitrin and so on.

Yingtao: The main nutritional components are sugar, protein, vitamins and calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and other elements.

6. Difference in effects and functions

Cheli: Dispels wind and removes dampness, unblocks painful obstruction and relieves pain.

Yingtao: Relieves pain and beautifies the face, dispels wind and promotes eruption.

7. Difference in price

Cheli price:

Cheli is an imported fruit in China and needs to be transported from abroad, so the price is generally around 60-80 yuan per jin. It is also grown domestically, but it is not very authentic, and the price is generally around 50-60 yuan per jin. If you want to eat authentic cheli, the price is above 60-80 yuan.

Yingtao price:

Now many farmers have begun to grow yingtao in greenhouses. Depending on the season, if it is May, when large amounts of yingtao go on the market, the price will be around 40-50 yuan per jin. If it is not in season, the price will be between 50-60 yuan. If it is a main production area, for example if you are in Heilongjiang, then the yingtao you buy may be a bit cheaper than yingtao bought in the south, since transport costs are required after all.

Summary: The above are the seven major differences between cheli and yingtao that we have compiled for you. We believe that after reading this, you will have some ability to distinguish between the two, so do not buy the wrong one again.
