It is a nutritious and healthy fruit.

From May to June every year, loquat ripens,

Together with cherries and plums, they are called "three friends".

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Loquat can moisten the five internal organs and nourish the heart and lungs. Loquat is a treasure all over the body." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that loquat is sweet, sour and flat, and has the effects of moistening lung and relieving cough, relieving cough and regulating stomach, diuresis and clearing heat.

Four major effects of loquat

1, promoting digestion

Sweet and sour loquat is rich in citric acid, which can stimulate taste buds, increase appetite, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerate digestion.

Step 2 quench thirst and reduce fire

Loquat is cold, which can produce fluid to quench thirst, reduce fire and relieve summer heat.

Step 3 protect your eyes

Loquat is rich in carotene and vitamin B, which can effectively relieve dry eye.

4. Beautiful and beautiful

Vitamin C in loquat can whiten and moisturize skin, and beauty lovers suggest eating more.

Note: Two kinds of people should not eat more loquat.

1, diabetics should not eat more. The fructose content in loquat is very high, so diabetics can eat one or two early adopters, but they must not be greedy.

2, spleen and stomach deficiency can not eat more. Loquat is cold. Eating too much loquat at at a time can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

How to choose loquat?

1, look at the color

Mature loquat skin is golden yellow, while immature loquat skin is light yellow or bluish yellow. Another reason is that there will be light yellow or bluish yellow when the light is insufficient.

Step 2 look at the shape

The overall shape of delicious loquat is generally ellipsoid, slightly smaller than the base, and the surface is better with protruding micro-drums. Pay more attention to the base when choosing loquat. The closer the base shape is to the five-pointed star shape, the more delicious it tastes. Gather a little at the bottom, usually with less juice and light taste ~

Step 3 look at the size

Some loquats meet the above two points, but the individuals are very small. If the branches are thick, the seeds of these loquats have large pulp and less edible parts. However, some rural loquats grow in this way, but they are extremely delicious.

Note: the preservation of loquat

If it is peeled loquat, it should be preserved with salt water, ice water or sugar water, so it is not easy to change color. The bought loquat can be directly packed in cartons and placed in a ventilated place, but it is not suitable for cold storage and is easy to change color.

Loquat seed is poisonous and inedible.

Loquat seed contains a small amount of cyanoside. If loquat seeds are chewed, cyanosides will form hydrocyanic acid under the action of saliva. After the human body absorbs a certain amount of hydrocyanic acid, it will have discomfort symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

If absorbed by the respiratory system, symptoms such as laryngeal edema and dyspnea will appear; If absorbed by the central nervous system, the human body may even have symptoms such as shock and convulsion, which is very dangerous.

Adults seldom chew loquat seeds in large quantities. After all, it is inedible. Even if you chew one or two loquat seeds occasionally, the problem is not very big, because the content of hydrocyanic acid is very small, so it is not easy to feel uncomfortable.

What I am most afraid of is that children deliberately chew loquat seeds with their mouths, which may cause danger. Parents must pay attention to it.
