Malformation of fruit cancer? how can we eat?

Deformity can actually fruit to eat? this time of year, is the colorful fruits are listed, in dazzling, fresh water tender fruits, there are some looks weird, rugged malformation of fruit.

There is, of course, when selecting fruit rind is smooth and fresh elections, those looks ugly fruit that will eventually be singled remaining.

In China, saying think, twisted melon crack jujube and more delicious; another term to the contrary, that is the fruit of these anomalies is a cancer that eats plants.

Lead plant fruit appearance of many factors, including radiation.

There are experimental scientists have done some crop seeds (such as Chili, etc) took to the satellite, after the gamma ray radiation in space, to produce fruit, the fruit not only increases, and bright color. But what causes fruit variation, also need to learn more.

But apart from radiation, and water deficit, low temperature, high temperature, glare and physical stress, saline, environmental pollution, disease, pests, weeds and other factors could lead to fruit shape changes in professional, those factors are called stress, is imposed on the plant to the adverse effects of environmental factors, makes the fruit not in normal circumstances.

Since there are harmful factors, so does that mean such fruit eating harmful?-

Not necessarily.

Such as radiation, there is no evidence that they would endanger human health, on the contrary, some after irradiation of food to people's lives. For example, the γ-ray irradiation of chestnut, can be stored for longer periods of time; irradiation by space, the cultivation of fruit, fruit growing, bright color, and the nourishment is abundant, the human body or useful.

Therefore, the twisted melon crack jujube delicious is a sense of logic, moreover, there is also called "worm, delicious peaches black Lee!!".

Twisted melon split date why more delicious

Why these twisted melon splitting dates but will also eat fruit, don't plant will be "stress out of centres of excellence"?

Where appropriate under stress, the growth of fruit easier maturing, because stress tends to stimulate the fruit faster release of ethylene, ethylene is stimulating the ripening of a substance.

Now commonly used fruit ripening agents, the main ingredient is this substance.

Vinyl can promote the accumulation of starch in fruits of conversion into double sugar (as sucrose) or simple sugar (glucose, fructose, etc), while also reducing fruit acidity.

Special fruit, for example, persimmons, bananas, Kiwi, after harvesting and not under immediate consumption, and want to place a period of time. Just pick the persimmons, tastes are astringent mouth, because it contains soluble tannins, and vinyl release can promote soluble tannins into not soluble tannins, will reduce the fruit of astringent mouth feeling. By the same token, bananas and place the Kiwi fruit, the fruit of ethylene will be induced in the rise of soluble carbohydrate content, acidity, aromatic substances synthesis, unique flavor is reflected.

For those pests "bit" and "insect peaches black Li" or the "physical stress lead to distortion of melon crack in a mature jujube" under stress before, synthesis ethylene acceleration in fruits, can promote increased soluble carbohydrate content, promote the fruits mature earlier.

Thus, compared to those not yet ripe fruit, they are ripe, the fruit of flavor has begun. Therefore, from this perspective, the civil claim is somewhat reasonable. However, since the mid-1990s, our fruit production area and output began to occupy the first in the world, but still far ahead. People have to worry about food not fruit, originally those seem to be "good" worm so peaches black Li ", now it can only be a foreign substance, there should not be placed on the dining table, even if we can't market.

As early as the 1980s, Japan would produce a square watermelon to sell, this is a listing of watermelon, many people sought after because it is too strange.

If you press the wrong melon crack jujube delicious, this watermelon is delicious, it really the case here-it is how to foster it.

Strange fruit can artificial?

Wang Liang Steed told reporters that cultivating this strange fruit is actually very simple, as long as the results of a watermelon began in fruit outside set a square box, having a tough time for a little square box, up to the maturity date of watermelon.

In this way, long out of watermelon is square.

In addition to the square watermelon, grapefruit also experienced heart-shaped, with good text pattern of Apple, Wang Liang Steed computer, reporters see many strange fruit pictures, which also has a watermelon grown into a clown face, very lovely.

Nurturing these strange fruit is also very simple, square-shaped like grapefruit, watermelon to fruit set of tooling for its growth.

But let the fruit grows out of the Word also easy, simple point is, as long as the fruits begin to change color front with one sheet of paper. If you want to have the fruit formation on SAG type, method is actually the same as do square watermelon, outside set of a die, merely need to mold carved inscriptions, and other fruits grow ripe to die out, you can see a bump in the pattern of the fruit.

It is said that this strange fruit, the price is not cheap to expensive than ordinary fruits on several times or even dozens of times.

So, these distinctive fruit in taste and nutrition is better than ordinary fruits.

Twisted melon crack jujube nutrition richer?

Not necessarily, in fact, there's nothing ordinary fruits, just different shapes.

Fruit taste mainly from its sweet, sour taste, flavor and moisture, and other aspects to identify.

And fruit sugar accumulation, generally have a process, that is, in the growth and development of early

Period, the fruit is mainly a starch polysaccharide substance accumulation. This fruit is not sweet, because these substances is not sweet. But as the fruits mature processes, nitroxyl will slowly into Monosaccharides or disaccharides substance Monosaccharides or disaccharides are sweet. When the polysaccharide substance was nearly, Monosaccharides or disaccharides accumulation to some degree, when it entered the fruits mature stage. Many fruit, in 1989 mature taste is the best, and then pick the fruit can be stored for a period of time. When fruit sugars and then down transformation, when polysaccharides full into Monosaccharides, Monosaccharides and gradual decomposition, reached 10 ripe fruit. Although the fruit taste sweet, but often lack the sour, and should not be put off for a long time, need to eat right away. If ten of mature fruit, so that the taste is not good, because the fruit has to breathe. When the fruits of monosaccharide is breathing consumes, cell structure begins to disintegrate, original features, if true crispness and total loss, organizations become soft, cotton, water fall, of course, not delicious.

Whether it's normal shape of fruit, or strange fruit, are inevitably a growth process.

Therefore, those square watermelon or with Word Apple taste, its essence and ordinary fruit is not too much different.

These fruit taste though unchanged, the nutritional value, whether it will be some changes-Wang Liang Steed said, we are talking about fruit nutrition, including sugar, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, fiber, we care about some nutrients, such as minerals and vitamins in fruits of less than 1%, other mainly water.

Therefore, the stress of fruit in nutritional aspects have not been too much influence, not because they change shape becomes particularly well to the human body,

Moreover, not all stress is beneficial to the fruit, and sometimes it just the opposite.

What stress is harmful to fruit?-

What turned into a pumpkin "wood"

First of all, with a stone or mould pressing fruit in this way, it has some drawbacks.

Plants for pressure has a certain compression capability, just like people, but also have a degree. It has been done with pumpkin, fruit from the pumpkin, you begin growth in the fruit-stone, of course, the weight of the stone is fruit can afford, then with the fruit grown and replace heavier stones until the fruit ripening. When people open the pumpkin, found it hard, inside the flesh became like wood, it is difficult to eat. Wang Liang Steed said, this is because the fruit is under increasing pressure, fruit growing in the cell walls, upset, arranged in fiber thicker, tissue hardening. This pumpkin just as hard as a rock, from tasting, of course not delicious.
