1, different sizes
The shape of begonia fruit is similar to that of apple, but begonia fruit is very small, larger than hawthorn and much smaller than apple. There are also eight prismatic protrusions on the fruit of Begonia, also known as "Begonia octagonal" and "Begonia macrophylla". There are no bumps on the apple. So why do they look so similar? This is probably because both Malus and Malus belong to Malus of Rosaceae, and their trees are deciduous trees, so the fruits look very similar.
2. Different tastes
Begonia fruit looks small and lovely, with bright red skin, yellow and white flesh, fragrant fruit, sweet and sour crisp. There are many kinds of apples, most of which are sweet, crisp and delicious, with delicious juice and almost no sour taste. There is still a big difference in taste between the two.
3. Different nutrition
The nutritional components of 100g apple are as follows: carbohydrate 13.6 (g), protein 0.2 (g), fat 0.2 (g), dietary fiber10.7 (g), vitamin A 8 (mg), carotene 50 (mg) and riboflavin 0. Vitamin E 2. 12 (mg), nicotinic acid 0.2 (mg), vitamin b 1.06 (mg), vitamin B2 0.02 (mg), potassium 1 19 (mg) and phosphorus/kloc-0. Copper 0.06 mg, zinc 0. 19 mg, selenium 0. 12 mg, manganese 0.03 mg, purine 0.9 mg, and heat 52 kcal.
The table of nutritional components per 100g of Chinese flowering crabapple fruit is as follows: calorie 73 (kcal), protein 0.3 (g), fat 0.2 (g), carbohydrate 19.2 (g), dietary fiber10.8 (g) and vitamin A/kloc-. Riboflavin 0.03 (mg), nicotinic acid 0.2 (mg), vitamin C 20 (mg), vitamin E 0.25 (mg), calcium 15 (mg), phosphorus 16 (mg), potassium 263 (mg), sodium 0.6 (mg), sodium 0.6 (mg).
This shows that their nutrients are also different.
4. Different effects
Begonia fruit has the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, invigorating spleen to stimulate appetite, enhancing immunity and preventing osteoporosis.
Apple has the functions of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, nourishing brain and blood, reducing weight, relieving mood and promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis.
Although begonia fruit and apple are two different fruits, apple is generally grafted on the root system of begonia, because the root system of begonia is relatively developed, which is beneficial to the growth of fruit trees.
