A fruit that looks like a leaf rots all over the ground in the south, but sells for 10 yuan each when shipped to the north

Our country is vast in territory and rich in resources, with obvious differences between the north and the south, and the same is true in the distribution of fruits. In the humid environment of the south, the variety of fruits that grow is also diverse, especially when the north enters the cold winter, the south can still produce all kinds of fresh fruits, which makes the friends in the north extremely envious. Today I will introduce to you a fruit unique to the south.

It is star fruit. Star fruit does not look like ordinary fruits that are round or oblong; star fruit is a fruit that looks like a five-pointed star. When unripe it is green and looks just like a leaf. Star fruit is a tropical fruit, grown only in the southern regions of our country, and it is very hard to see star fruit in the north. The star fruit tree is highly adaptable and bears a lot of fruit. When the star fruit harvest season arrives, some farmers cannot even be bothered to pick the star fruit from the trees, and in the south a lot of star fruit rots on the trees. If anyone wants to eat some, they just pick a few and take them home to eat. I really envy friends who live in the south, being able to eat star fruit so freely.

I remember the first time I ate star fruit, it was still when I was in university. At that time, a classmate in the dormitory was from the south, and when the holiday ended and she returned to school, she brought back a big bag of star fruit for the few of us in the dormitory. Everyone in our dormitory was eating star fruit for the first time and had no idea how to eat it. It was the classmate from the south who told us that star fruit should be eaten dipped in salt to remove the astringent taste, making it taste better, and for that we even went out of our way to buy a small bag of table salt. Ever since finishing that star fruit, I fell in love with this fruit. Just from the smell alone, the fragrance of star fruit makes your mouth water, and it tastes even more of a rich fruit flavor, extremely delicious.

In the south, many farmers plant star fruit trees in their own yards or on hillsides. If no one eats them when they ripen, they fall to the ground and rot, but in the north star fruit can be considered a luxury, and the price is also very high. Usually it is sold by the piece, and 10 yuan can buy a very large one. Star fruit has high nutritional value, with high content of vitamins and fiber. Besides being rich in nutrients, star fruit also has medicinal value, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and reducing swelling. Eating a star fruit after drinking alcohol has a very good sobering effect.

Besides the fruit, the branches, leaves and flowers of the star fruit tree can also all be used as medicine, and all have certain medicinal value. The star fruit tree can be considered to be treasure from head to toe; casually taking some branches and leaves from the tree, they all have effects. This kind of five-pointed star-shaped star fruit, have you all eaten it?
