Advantages of Shiranui

—Ugly, but juicy—

It doesn't have the bright yellow color of navel orange, but it has the juiciness of navel orange. Although it looks ugly, it is full of plump flesh, which is filled with tender fruit particles. It has a lot of water and VC. The VC content is twice that of lemon.

——Ugly, but tender——

It doesn't have the bright red color of tangerines, but it has the tenderness and crispness of tangerines. The flesh is distinct, the wall between the flesh is as soft as gauze, the fruit is tender and breaks when bitten, crisp, sweet and smooth, refreshing and residue-free, like grapefruit

—Ugly, but rare—

After a whole year of accumulation on the branches, I start to bloom in March and April of the first year and mature in February and March of the following year. After experiencing the severe cold of winter and the sunshine of spring, I have been accumulated on the branches for a whole year. I taste extremely sweet, with a sugar content of 14-18 degrees. But the most attractive thing is that not only does it taste sweet, but the flesh is also crisp. It is crisp and crumbly when you bite it in your mouth, and the flavor is excellent.

How to distinguish true and false Shiranui

The fake "ugly oranges" on the market are actually ponkan. Ponkan looks similar to ugli oranges, but has a smoother skin and is cheaper to buy. Some unscrupulous merchants use ponkan to impersonate ugli oranges and deceive consumers who have no experience in distinguishing.

First, check if the ugly orange is ugly enough. If it has smooth skin and round shape, it is definitely a fake. Second, ask about the origin. The real ugly oranges are all from Sichuan. If you buy "ugly oranges" produced in Fujian, etc., you will be fooled.

The real ugly orange has a thin skin at the bottom, which is easy to peel and has a crisp and sweet taste. The softer the fruit, the sweeter it tastes, while the harder the fruit, the sourer it tastes. In addition, because you won't get angry no matter how much you eat, the ugly orange is also called "unknown fire". If your fingers turn yellow after eating it, it must be a fake one~

The difference between unknown fire and ugly monster

The scientific name of "Ugly" is "Nashi", which tastes sweet and has thick and large skin. It is a hybrid citrus with skin tumors on the stem, native to Japan. In 2003, the single tree of Unashi (Ugly) in Pujiang County, Sichuan Province had more than 5 kilograms of fruit, and the highest was 15 kilograms. In 2003 alone, more than 1,000 people came to Pujiang County to visit and study. The peel is yellow-orange, but the appearance is not as beautiful and shiny as the navel orange. The fruit with some wrinkles on the peel is not very good-looking, so many people call it "Ugly".
