When I shared the menu of New Year's Eve dinner a few days ago, I said that there were many exquisite dishes in 2008, and the banquet dishes during the New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival all had certain meanings. The same is true for eating fruit in the New Year. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, we should put beautiful fruits on the table and wish all the best, peace, good luck and good health in the new year. Here, we usually buy these auspicious fruits in the New Year, including apples, oranges, persimmons, pomegranates, pitaya and bananas. They all have beautiful meanings.
Apples not only have high nutritional value, but also have beautiful meanings, such as safety and happiness. Moreover, apples are easy to store, especially suitable for Chinese New Year. So how do you choose apples? Choose apples with bright colors and no obvious scars on the surface, and the redder the apple, the better. There will be some red stripes on the surface of naturally mature apples, so that the apples will be fragrant and crisp and very delicious.
Oranges mean good luck and good luck. On holidays, everyone will buy oranges as a good sign of good luck. Everyone should pay attention to buying oranges. Don't buy that waxed orange. Oranges with wax skin will glow obviously. In addition, choose a medium-sized orange. If you pinch it with your hands, you will feel that the pulp is very firm and not hard. You can smell the unique fragrance of oranges by smelling them. This orange tastes better.
Persimmon, because of homophonic, has the meaning of all the best, all the best. Frozen persimmons are also essential fruits during the Spring Festival in Northeast China. It should be noted that you cannot eat persimmons on an empty stomach; Persimmons can't be eaten with crabs, spinach and sweet potatoes; People with stomach trouble or indigestion should not eat it.
Pomegranate is red in color, which is also China people's favorite festive color for the New Year, meaning that life and career are thriving; There are many pomegranate seeds in a pomegranate, which also represents a happy family and many children. Choose pomegranate with the same size, plump, heavy, smooth and shiny, and no dark spots. This pomegranate is fresh, sweet and juicy.
Pitaya, also known as "fairy fruit", is not only rich and festive in color, but also has a particularly beautiful meaning, such as auspiciousness, longevity and wealth. Red heart pitaya is divided into red heart and white heart, so it is naturally more festive to buy red heart pitaya in the New Year. When selecting pitaya, you should choose red, round, full and moist roots, so that pitaya will be sweet and nutritious.
Bananas are often eaten by everyone. It is estimated that few people know the meaning of banana. Bananas are meant to make money and treasure, so they must be released during the New Year. There will be some pits on the surface of naturally ripe bananas, which is normal, fragrant in taste and sweet and soft in flesh; If the ripening banana has smooth surface, pungent sour taste, hard pulp and bad taste, everyone should pay attention to screening.
These fruits have a beautiful meaning. Buy some and put them on the table during the Spring Festival. I wish you all the best, good luck, peace, prosperity and prosperity in the new year.
