apple
The main variety of apples is Red Fuji. When choosing red Fuji, you should choose something that looks a little bit, and the yellow one is red. Such apples are generally yellow, crisp and sweet, slightly sour and have a good taste. Authentic red Fuji apples are tilted on the table, and the color is a little pink, not red, nor particularly red. Never have a little red apple in green. Such apples are light in taste, rich in water and poor in sweetness.
The best "face" of Red Fuji: the appearance is red with a little yellow, the "navel" is deeply sunk, and the peel is pockmarked and crisp, echoing the fingers. This kind of apple is sweet, crisp and juicy. Take it home and have a good meal.
red date
The epidermis has few wrinkles and is fresh. Fresh red dates are full, and those with few skin wrinkles are generally produced in the current year. And the good jujube skin is very bright after scrubbing.
The darker the color, the sweeter it is. Many people mistakenly think that the color depth of jujube is related to freshness, and the darker the color, the older it is. But in fact, once the jujube is picked, the color of its epidermis does not change much. We can judge the sweetness of jujube by the color of the epidermis. The darker the color, the higher the maturity and the sweeter it is.
There are no moths with stems at the top. The sugar content of red dates is usually 60%-80%, which is easy to be eaten by insects. If there is no handle at the top, pay attention. If there is any hole, it will be eaten by insects. You can also pinch it by hand, feeling that the flesh is soft and empty, or it may be eaten by insects.
Orange, orange, orange, grapefruit

muskmelon
Commonly used melons and fruits are watermelon, cantaloupe, cantaloupe and papaya. The following is the selection method of these melons and fruits. The pattern of watermelon looks open, with uneven surface, green and dark color. Holding it in one hand and patting it gently in the other, the voice is a bit hollow. The hand holding it is sandy, the watermelon is not ripe yet, but the sound is relatively dead.
Hami melon should be thick and dense. There are scars on the melon skin. The older the scar, the sweeter it is. Although the scar is ugly, it is sweet and delicious. Smell the smell, the strong fragrance is mature, and the light fragrance can be eaten later; The color is golden yellow; Microsoft feels solid, hard is raw, too soft is rotten; The flesh of melon is light green, crisp and golden yellow, sticky and white and soft and juicy.

How to distinguish hormone fruits
Green watermelon, Huang Chengcheng pear, purple pearl grape, red litchi, etc. In the cold winter, all kinds of out-of-season fruits waft with bursts of strong or light fruit fragrance, which continuously enter thousands of households. However, strawberries that look like steamed bread, large and angular kiwifruit in the early market are mostly swollen, pink or even red litchi, immature but not sweet but red watermelon and so on. And most of them are coated with ripening agents.
The weight of ripe fruit is relatively heavy: another obvious feature of ripe fruit is that it is relatively heavy. Fruits of the same variety and size are much heavier and easier to identify than naturally ripe fruits.
Smell identification: Most naturally ripe fruits can smell the fragrance of a fruit on the epidermis. Ripe fruit not only has no fruit fragrance, but even has an odor. Overripe fruits can often smell fermented.
The difference between natural ripening and ripening: Although the ripening fruit shows the characteristics of ripening, the skin or other aspects of the fruit will still feel immature. For example, naturally mature watermelons, due to sufficient light, have bright skin colors, clear stripes and are old; The ripe watermelon skin is fresh and tender in color, with light stripes and blue pedicels.
Green food does not use chemical hormones: food containing chemical hormones is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. In this regard, consumers should choose green certified food when purchasing, because no chemical hormones are allowed in green food and organic food, and consumers can safely eat it.
Don't buy unripe fruit: don't buy unripe fruit. If the fruit on the market half a month to one month before ripening is beautiful in color, it is likely that ripening agents have been used. Even if no ripening agent is used, the fruit is not delicious and has low nutritional value.
