There is a fruit known as the "kindest" fruit in the world. Many people believe that it is not only simple and easy to peel, with low calorie content, but also juicy and sweet. After some people who are feeling down eat it, the sweet and refreshing taste can quickly soothe the wounded wounds of the soul, and even help calm anxious nerves and reduce some pain. You must be curious, what kind of immortal fruit is this that has such great charm? This fruit is the rake tangerine that we often see on the market. However, many people do not know that its real name is actually "Gan". Considering that this character is relatively rare and the 'rake and rake' citrus is widely known, it is still referred to as' rake and rake 'in this article. So, what kind of fruit is the rake mandarin that stands out among many fruits and becomes people's favorite in spring? Now, let's explore the past and present of rake oranges together, and experience their unique charm firsthand. Perhaps you can find the answer you are looking for from it. What kind of fruit is raking tangerine? Rake pomelo, a hybrid citrus variety of the Rutaceae citrus genus, is mainly planted in Sichuan and Chongqing in China. Due to its excellent quality and unique fruit characteristics, it has been frequently favored by consumers in recent years. The fruit of this variety is very different from ordinary citrus varieties. It has many advantages. Not only is the fruit large, seedless, and beautiful in shape, but the flesh is also crispy, tender, and juicy. The skin is separated from the flesh, and the skin is thin and easy to peel off. You can feel a soft and limp texture when you touch the skin. And in the Sichuan Chongqing region, "soft" is commonly known as "rake", which is why this variety is called "rake rake orange". The roasted citrus flesh is orange in color, with high sugar content and rich flavor. It is rich in various nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements, making it a unique fruit that combines nutrition and health. When people eat raking oranges, they don't need a fruit knife, they can easily peel off the entire raking citrus peel with their hands. At the same time, the peeled skin does not overflow a lot of juice and make people's hands sticky, making it more convenient to eat compared to other citrus fruits. At the same time, each petal of the fruit pulp of the raking citrus is full of juice, with clear and plump flesh grains that are crystal clear. When you bite into it, the sweet juice directly explodes in your mouth, making your mouth as sweet as honey. After entering the human body, these sweet juices produce a large amount of dopamine, conveying messages of happiness and joy to the body, gradually relieving people's previously low emotions and soothing their emotional trauma. It is precisely because of its unique flavor and characteristics that the pomelo has become the "kindest" fruit in people's minds, making it the first fruit delicacy that many people eagerly enjoy in early spring season. How did rake oranges come about? However, it is this kind of pomelo, which is almost identical in appearance and size to oranges, that has touched the taste buds of many people in spring. How was it cultivated? In fact, the rake tangerine is not a pure blooded fruit, but a legitimate hybrid hybrid. It is a new variety developed by 11 Japanese breeders, including Shunxiong Yoshida, in 1979 at the Shizuoka Fruit Tree Experiment Station in Japan. It was created by crossbreeding two fruit trees, Kiyomi Orange and Ponkan F-2432, and took 17 years to develop. Once it was introduced, it was hailed as one of the most promising varieties of the 21st century. Yoshida Toshio and 11 other Japanese breeders set a new breeding goal when developing new varieties, aiming for good taste and ease of consumption. At first, they encountered difficulties in selecting hybrid parents, such as which variety of citrus tree to use for hybridization to achieve the breeding goals of being both delicious and convenient. Later, after a large amount of material selection, they finally chose Qingjian Orange and Ponkan F-2432 as hybrid parents. Qingjian oranges mature in March and April, with juicy fruit and good flavor, but the skin is rough and difficult to peel; The Ponkan F-2432 is relatively early maturing, easy to peel, and has a good flavor, but its disadvantage is that it has many seeds. So breeders took advantage of the advantages of Qingjian Orange and Ponkan F-2432 fruit trees and began a strong alliance. In May 1979, they began crossbreeding at the fruit tree experimental field. After more than ten years, they finally cultivated a new variety of orange with good edible flavor, smooth skin, crispy and tender meat, juicy and polarized residue, sweet and sour taste, and seedless. This fruit was registered as a variety in 1996, and they gave it a clear and artistic name: Chunjian Orange, taken from its maturity in the spring when everything is revived, and also has the bloodline of Qingjian Orange, hence the name Chunjian Orange. Due to the excellent characteristics of the cultivated Chunjian orange, it quickly became one of the most popular citrus varieties in Japan. The Chinese Citrus Research Institute noticed the excellence of this variety and introduced Chunjian citrus from Japan in 1996, and widely introduced it in multiple provinces and cities such as Sichuan and Chongqing. Influenced by the dialect culture in Sichuan and Chongqing, the Chinese people began to call it "raking citrus". Perhaps due to the cute and down-to-earth nature of the name "rake rake orange", over time, it gradually became a well-known name among the locals and spread, while the name "Chunjian orange" became less well-known. After more than 20 years of vigorous promotion and cultivation, the rake citrus has grown into one of the main varieties of citrus in China. Its sweet taste and rich nutrition are deeply loved by consumers and have gradually spread throughout the country, becoming a shining pearl in China's citrus industry. Why can rake oranges capture people's hearts? In summary, we can see that the successful promotion and rapid capture of market share of rake oranges can actually be attributed to two key factors: ease of consumption and deliciousness. Firstly, the characteristics of rake oranges make them easy to peel off the skin, and the flesh is soft and easy to chew, which provides consumers with great convenience when enjoying them. Secondly, the sweet aroma and rich juice emitted by the rake oranges are undoubtedly one of the key factors for their success. This delicious taste not only satisfies people's taste, but also stimulates their desire to consume fruits. Therefore, rake oranges have not only quickly become a popular choice in the market, but also established a good reputation in the minds of consumers. As consumers' demand for convenience and taste continues to grow, the status and influence of rake oranges will continue to expand, becoming one of the preferred fruits for more people to choose from. Based on the successful experience of raking oranges, we have to admit that with the acceleration of the pace of life, people's demands for food are also increasing, and the pursuit of convenience and deliciousness has become one of the main demands of consumers. In this context, cultivating more convenient and easily edible fruits has become the pursuit goal of fruit farmers and agricultural scientists. Faced with the changing consumer demand, breeders have also actively responded by carefully breeding and technological innovation, creating a series of fruit varieties that satisfy people's appetite. For example, one of the more famous ones is the improved version of pineapple - pineapple. After breeding by breeders, the bromelain contained in pineapple has been greatly reduced, and it can be consumed directly without soaking in salt water, eliminating the tedious preparation procedures and waiting time, greatly facilitating consumers. Not only that, but the seedless watermelon we usually eat has also been improved from having many seeds in the past to being a seedless fruit, eliminating the trouble of consumers spitting out seeds. The characteristics of these new varieties of fruits make them a beloved choice for modern consumers, providing them with convenient, delicious, and healthy consumption options. In fact, breeders have already considered many aspects in response to the modern consumer's demand for easy eating of fruits. In addition to the characteristics of no or few seeds and easy peeling, there are also other factors that have been taken into account in the process of fruit cultivation. For example, scientists are committed to cultivating fruit varieties that are more resistant to storage, transportation, and portability, to ensure that consumers can easily enjoy the deliciousness of fruits in various occasions; Cultivate small or moderately sized fruits that are easier to consume, do not require cutting, can be eaten directly, and are easy to carry without leaving too much residue when consumed at once. In addition, cultivate soft and easy to chew fruits to reduce the need for forceful chewing during consumption. Of course, they will also focus on improving the flavor and taste of fruits to meet consumers' pursuit of quality. Overall, with the changes in lifestyle and the upgraded demand for food consumption experience, consumers are no longer satisfied with traditional ways of eating. They hope to easily enjoy the deliciousness of fresh fruits on busy workdays without spending too much time and energy. Therefore, cultivating more convenient, easy to eat, and high-quality fruit varieties has become a common goal of the agricultural science community and fruit farmers. With the continuous advancement of technology and innovation, we have reason to believe that in the future, more fruits that meet human needs will appear in the market, bringing consumers richer, more convenient, and healthier fruit choices. Let's wait and see together! (New Society)
