7. How to select and store loquatsLoquats are the fruits grown on loquat trees, when they are young, my neighbor had a loquat tree, and I loved the small but delicious fruits!Now the loquat tree has been cut down, and the tree that holds my childhood memories has been cut down. When I saw the tree stump during the Chinese New Year, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

If there is no loquat tree, then you have to buy loquats. For people who are used to eating loquats, of course, they know which loquats are good and which are bad.

But for those who are new, it's a bit difficult.As someone who has been eating loquats since childhood, I'll share a few tips for selecting loquats.1. Loquats with intact and well-preserved skin and flesh indicate that they have not been damaged during transportation and are relatively fresh, and contain a high content of vitamin C and other nutrients.2. The darker the color of loquats, the more ripe they are, the sweeter they taste, and the more flavorful they are.Conversely, loquats with pale yellow, greenish, hard flesh, and loquat skin that is difficult to peel are not ripe or have been improperly ripened.

3. Choose loquats that are not too big or too small. This type of loquat has the best taste and nutrition. Too big loquats may have been inflated with additives, and too small loquats indicate that the tree is producing too many loquats, which means the nutrition is relatively low.

Choose fruits that are neither too large nor too small. These have the best taste and nutritional value. Large fruits may contain blowing agents, and small fruits may indicate that there are too many peaches on the tree, which will reduce the nutritional value.
