I would like to recommend an apple that is so sweet that it will make your teeth fall out - the Sugar-coated Apple. The unique sunshine and pure air make the apples very rich in sugar! So, when will such delicious Sugar-coated Apples be available? Let's take a look at the details of when Sugar-coated Apples will be available.

Introduction of Sugar-coated Apple

Rock Sugar Heart Apple is a kind of apple produced in Aksu. It is called "Rock Sugar Heart" apple because the sugar in its core accumulates into a transparent state, forming a unique "Rock Sugar Heart" in the world.

The high-altitude area of ​​Aksu has a large temperature difference between day and night, sufficient sunlight, and fertile soil, which makes the apples high in sugar content. The sugar content is around 18 degrees and the taste is particularly sweet. Aksu apples are irrigated with glacier snow water and cultivated in sandy soil, producing "sugar-heart" Red Fuji apples.

Characteristics of Sugar-coated Apple

The skin is smooth and pollution-free

Aksu has a warm temperate arid climate. The average annual temperature is 7℃-8℃, and the rainfall is small.

However, the water flow is abundant. Due to the cold winter and low temperature in Aksu, there are very few diseases and insect pests during the fruit growing period. In addition, due to the drought and little rain, mold is not easy to form, which reduces the chance of pests, mold and pesticides eroding the fruit surface. Therefore, the surface of Aksu Red Fuji apples is smooth and delicate, with bright and natural color.

Full of moisture, crispy flesh

In addition to the fact that Aksu apples are rich in moisture and crispy due to their unique geographical environment, there is another important reason: the picking time of Aksu apples is strictly controlled after October 25th every year, while apples in mainland China are picked in August and September due to the high temperature. The growing period of Aksu apples is fully extended and they are picked at low temperatures, so they are particularly rich in moisture.

Turpan is a vast country with rich resources, and its local grapes have always been famous. Hami melons are directly named "Hami melons".

Aksu sugar-heart apples are called the "Queen of Fruits" in Xinjiang, and are only produced in the Aksu area in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in southern Xinjiang, the northern edge of the Tarim Basin, and the hinterland of the Tarim. In Uyghur, Aksu means "clear water" and is known as the "South of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall".

Are sugar-coated apples delicious?

The rock sugar apples grown in Aksu are flat, with smooth and delicate surface, bright and natural color, thin skin, thick flesh, dense texture, sweet taste and rich juice. Since I encountered it, I have completely understood what "love" means! !

How to Identify the Authenticity of Sugar-coated Apples

She taught a few simple identification methods: First, look at the appearance. Aksu only has a few rains throughout the year, and there are usually strong winds and sandstorms. The surface of the "rock sugar heart" has a layer of dust. Once you rub it with your hands, it will be shiny, and the more you rub it, the brighter it will be. There is no fruit wax. Therefore, the "rock sugar heart" that looks very clean is generally fake.

Secondly, the Aksu "Bingtangxin" apples are short and stocky, and overall, the two sides are asymmetrical, with one "shoulder" higher than the other. The Shaanxi Red Fuji apples are beautiful in appearance, the Liaoning southern apples are uniform in size, and the Shandong apples are large in size.

Finally, the flesh of the "Ring Sugar Heart" is light yellow and must be cut crosswise before eating to cut off the fibers, making it crisper and sweeter.

Another point is that the best storage temperature for "Bingtangxin" is between -5℃ and 5℃. If the room temperature is higher than 5℃, the Bingtangxin will slowly disappear. Hangzhou has a high temperature, so it is best to put "Bingtangxin" on a ventilated balcony or in the refrigerator.
