Excellent fruit ingredients
1 Fruit Pastoral is called Fruit Pastoral because many things are made of fruits. Look at my clothes. They are made of apples, buttons are fruit candy, and watermelons are hollowed out and put on their hats. So the clothes that live in our place will be very strange, and they will look like clowns after wearing them. Really funny!
Everyone who lives here smells of fruit. The house is also made of fruit. Tall buildings are made of oranges and lemons. Below the bungalow is an apple local base, and then an extra-large watermelon skin is placed on it. There are watermelon water stations, ice cream shops, chocolate bridges ... you ask me where there is such a big fruit? Of course, the fruit garden should not only grow ordinary fruits, but also develop new varieties! So scientists developed and ate some big fruits, which people needed! An ice cream shop is actually a department store made of ice cream. Are you worried about melting? Don't worry, it will never melt, because the cylinder of ice cream is equipped with air conditioning. Moreover, you don't need washing powder to live here, so you don't need to wash clothes, because in the fruit age, you can take it off directly and wash it. Special products can be made again, because they are all kinds of fruits! If it's ordinary clothes, you can put it in the lemon pile and smell the fragrance after a while.
People here are slim and in good shape. Ask me why? Eat fruit. What is the truth that the more fruits you eat, the fatter you get? Of course, people here don't eat fruit every day, but sometimes they make something with fruit. Like strawberry ice cream, orange cake, apple pie, pineapple pie ... that's really delicious. It's not like people in fruit orchards don't eat anything else. Of course, they also eat some vegetables and meat, but everyone doesn't eat high-cholesterol food. So foods with high cholesterol, such as pork belly, sausage and fat, are rarely eaten. And there are natural preventive drugs-fruits.
Of course, this place is not without shortcomings. As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easier than going down. So is the fruit coat. It's easy to undress, but it's hard to do. Think about it. It's clothes made of fruit. If you put juice on the thread, it will be very sticky. Besides, it's also a waste. When the fruit is dirty, remove it, wash it and eat it. On second thought, there is nothing to waste. But when you think about it, it's actually quite wasteful. How much fruit does a dress need? When it is dirty, take it off, wash it and eat it. Can you finish it? It is estimated that you can't finish half a piece! The remaining fruit will go bad in a few days. If it goes bad, you must throw it away. What a waste.
Welcome to be a guest! You're always welcome. I'll treat you to fruit!
Childhood is like a sugar-coated gourd on a bamboo tip. In retrospect, there are both sweet happiness and many sour little troubles. Many writers write stories about their childhood memories, nostalgia and imagination. All kinds of words stand on the paper, chest straight or face red, ready to tell us a lot about childhood happiness and troubles.
When her mother went out, she said to Misa, "I'm leaving, little Misa. You must be obedient. Don't be naughty and don't touch things when I'm not at home. If you behave well, I will reward you with a piece of red fruit candy. " Mom is gone. At first, Misa was obedient, not naughty, and didn't touch anything. Later, he moved a chair in front of the cupboard, climbed up and opened the cupboard door. He stood there and looked in, thinking, I didn't move, just looking.
There is a sugar jar in the cupboard. He took it down and put it on the table.
Opening the lid, he saw a red thing on the top.
"Ah," Misha said, "this is not a fruit candy! Probably the one my mother promised me. "
He reached into the sugar jar and took out the piece of fruit candy.
"Oh," he said, "how big it is! It must be very sweet! "
Misa licked it, thinking, I'll suck a little and put it back.
He began to suck to see how much was left. He always thought sugar was quite big. Finally, the candy was as small as a matchstick, and Misa put it back in the sugar jar. While licking his fingers, he looked at the small piece of candy and said, "Eat them all. Mom will give it to me anyway. You know, I did a good job, I wasn't naughty, and I didn't do anything bad. "
Misa took out the candy, put it in his mouth, and then tried to put the sugar jar back. Unexpectedly, when he reached for it, the sugar jar stuck to his hand and fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into two petals, and the sugar inside spilled all over the floor.
Misa was scared and thought, it's up to her mother.
He put the sugar jar that was broken into two pieces tightly together, and it succeeded, even the traces of being broken could not be seen. He put the sugar in, covered it, and carefully put the sugar jar back in the cupboard.
Mom finally came back and said, "Well, how did you do?"
"Very good."
"What a good boy! Award you a piece of candy! "
Mom opened the cupboard and went to get the sugar jar ... ouch! The sugar jar was broken and all the sugar was spilled on the ground.
"What's going on? Who hit the sugar can? "
"Not me, it is itself ..."
"Ah, it's itself! All right, it's settled. So, where did the candy go? "
"Candy ... candy ... I ate it. Because I was obedient, I ate it, just like that ... "
Excellent Fruit Composition 3 My favorite fruit-peaches.
My favorite fruit is peaches. There are many varieties of peaches, such as nectarines that are glossy and smooth, peaches with hard cores, peaches with fluff, flat peaches with magical legends, and sweet and delicious peaches ... Among them, peaches are my favorite.
Peaches look lovely and have different shapes. Round like a lovely ball, oval like an egg, and some like love. When the peach is immature, it is white in the blue and white, red in the white, bitter in taste and hard in flesh. When it is mature, it is red, like a small lantern. It tastes sweet and fragrant and the meat is soft. It smells so good that people can't help but want to have a bite. Peaches have fine hair, which tickles to the touch and feels like small ants crawling on their hands. Take a bite of a peach. It's sweet and fragrant. It's delicious!
Peaches can be made into peach juice by juicer, which is sweet and thirst-quenching. This is my favorite drink in summer. Peach kernel has the effect of traditional Chinese medicine and can often be seen in pharmacies. Peach has another name, called Shoutao or Shouguo, which means to prolong life. Our family has a New Year picture of "Eat Flat Peach for Longevity". I'll send my favorite peach for grandpa's birthday next time. I hope I can hold a big birthday peach for grandpa's birthday like the children in the New Year pictures. At the same time, I also hope that my grandfather can live as long and healthy as the old birthday girl in the New Year pictures.
There are many stories about flat peaches, and there is a classic story called "Two peaches kill three scholars". This is an ancient historical story in China, which was first recorded in Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Annals, and later evolved into an idiom, showing Yan Zi's wisdom. Two peaches were used to kill a competitor, General Qi Guosan. In addition, we also know a two-part allegorical saying: The Queen Mother held a flat peach party-concentration, which is a widely circulated story-the Monkey King made a big fuss about the flat peach party. The Monkey King in Journey to the West, because he was not invited by the Queen Mother to attend the Flat Peach Conference, secretly went to eat Xiantao, and was insulted after being discovered by the Seven Fairies. So the Monkey King was very angry and went to the flat peach party to make a scene. This story has been handed down to this day.
Peaches are not only delicious, but also symbolize longevity, family happiness, wisdom and indomitable spirit. How interesting do you think peaches are? How could I not like it!
Fruit Excellent Composition 4 is a very common food. Eating more is good for your health, so what do you like to eat?
Attractive autumn is a harvest season, and at the same time, it is also a good season for me, a greedy cat, to satisfy my thirst. Why? Because there are also many fresh listings this season.
On Sunday morning, my mother and I went to the market to buy food. What makes me most happy is to see many products I like on the market.
Red apples, Chengcheng Huang, green watermelons and pomegranate all seem to be waving to me to buy them home. Looking at them, my saliva unconsciously flowed down. I quickly dragged my mother to the stall. Tell her to buy me some of everything. My mother also readily agreed, because she also found these very fresh and attractive.
When I bought it home, I couldn't wait to open the bag, pick up one and eat it. Well, that's sweet! Bite it down and your mouth is full of fragrance. The juice runs down my mouth. I still can't bear to look at the juice on the ground and think, "Oh, what a pity!" "
When my neighbors came to my house in the evening, my mother thought of the morning meal and took it out to entertain them. Neighbors are not welcome to see these new things. They picked up one and ate it. As soon as they bite down, a feeling of happiness emerges on their faces, and every bite is carefully tasted.
Although I am reluctant to part with these things, I am also very happy to see everyone happy, just like eating those myself.
Among bananas, I like bananas best. I can't help drooling at the thought of the sweet and soft feeling when eating bananas.
Today, my mother bought a bunch of bananas. Bananas are curved and half a foot long, just like the moon in the sky. Peeling off the skin is fragrant and refreshing, revealing yellowish flesh, which is particularly soft and slippery in the mouth. Bananas are rich in nutrition. I know from "100,000 Why" that100g banana contains protein1.4g, 0.2g of fat, 20.8g of sugar, and the contents of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other substances are also very high. Bananas also contain carotene and vitamin B, with 49.2 mg of potassium per100g, the highest in the world. Potassium is beneficial to maintaining human cell function, acid-base balance and promoting myocardial function. Bananas also have the functions of moistening lungs, smoothing intestines, relaxing bowels, reducing swelling and lowering blood pressure. Grandma said: "Washing banana peel and boiling water can treat high blood pressure and prevent cerebral hemorrhage."
After listening to my introduction, you must want to eat bananas, but I want to tell you that eating bananas on an empty stomach is not good for your health.
I stayed at home for many days, so boring! Is there anything delicious at home? I walk around. There are three bananas, some apples, a bunch of grapes, some oranges and half a watermelon. Eating fruit alone is boring. Let's make a fruit platter! But what kind of modeling? Let me think about it. Building a castle with bananas should be enough. Let's make a fruit castle!
I washed my hands quickly, and my brain was spinning fast, imagining what my fruit castle would look like. I found a suitable knife, a bag of toothpicks and a clean cutting board.
Take off the banana coat first, cut the banana into discs, and three bananas will be used up. Slice the apple, then cut it into triangles of different sizes, and put the two together to form a small fish. Take some watermelon seeds from the watermelon as fish eyes. Then peel the orange, carefully divide it into orange petals, and wash the small purple grapes for later use.
I put on my gloves and began to set the table. First of all, take banana slices and build them up layer by layer to build a five-story castle. When finished, put them in a plate about 2 cm away from the edge, and peel off the orange petals around the outer ring of the plate to make them look more colorful. I put the lovely apple fish I just made on the plate at will to make the whole platter look more vivid. I picked a few smaller ones from the washed purple grapes and put them on the side, just like a purple diamond hidden in water. I suddenly had another idea. I dug a spoonful of watermelon and made a bowl. This is a fish tank. I also filled half a cup of watermelon juice and put some watermelon seeds in it. Almost!
I stepped back and appreciated my work. I think something is missing. That's right! I took out a toothpick, put an extra triangular apple on it, made a small flag and put it on the top floor of Banana Castle. This is perfect!
My creative fruit platter is ready! Although I have made banana castle, apple fish and fish rice bowls many times, I am still very happy to look at my fruit castle now!
Just when I was narcissistic, my mother came over and I quickly said, "Mom, come and see my fruit castle!" " "Mother watched with interest. She recognized the castle, the flag and the small fish, but she didn't know what the small bowl was for. I told my mother that it was a small fish's food basin, and my mother smiled. I am so happy that the rain of praise falls on me!
Lanzhou is an ancient city on the Loess Plateau. The Yellow River passes through the city, watering the thick yellow land on both sides. The industrious people of Lanzhou have worked and lived here for generations and planted many excellent vegetables and fruits. Such as bright red apples, golden winter pears, peaceful fresh peaches and jujube at the mouth of the river, but the most famous is white melons. Big, thin and sandy, it has long been famous at home and abroad.
In other places, farmers have to clear the stones in their fields when they are farming. Farmers in Lanzhou spread a layer of fertilizer on the ground first, and then spread a layer of stones on the ground. This is called spreading sand. Because Lanzhou has a dry climate, less rain and a large amount of water evaporation, spreading sand can reduce water evaporation and ensure the growth of crops. It is this special farming method that makes the melons and fruits in Lanzhou particularly sweet and attractive.
Among many melons and fruits, I especially like white melons. It is oval, like a huge goose egg, with jasper-like flesh wrapped under pale yellow skin. A mouthful of sweet juice can almost stick to people's lips, and the fragrance goes straight to the nostrils, which is really unforgettable. In summer, as long as you put a few white melons under the bed, its fragrance will pervade the whole room, making people feel more fragrant and comfortable than any perfume. In this fragrance, just close your eyes and lie on the grass full of flowers, which makes people intoxicated. In Lanzhou in summer, the climate is cool and pleasant, and the streets and alleys on the boulevard are covered with various varieties of white melons. You can buy satisfactory melons here no matter day or night. The vendors put the melons neatly on the cart, decorated them with some flowers and sold them along the street. You can taste it before you buy it. It's all sweet. The smell of melon in the air has attracted many tourists and some famous artists to perform here. My favorite comic actor Uncle Jiang Kun, as well as singers Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi, all came to Lanzhou to taste white melon and praised it. And praised Bai on TV.
Langua sang a few more songs specially.
Adults say that this kind of melon was originally called Wallace, and an American agronomist brought the seeds to Lanzhou. He saw that Lanzhou's geographical location and climatic conditions were similar to its origin. It was planted in Lanzhou, Dunhuang and Jinta respectively, and this kind of melon has become a characteristic variety of Lanzhou since then. In memory of this agronomist, people call this kind of melon Wallace. It can be seen that no matter who does a good deed, people will never forget him. Later, people officially named it white melon. It is also often shipped to Hong Kong and other places, known as "Lanzhou honeydew melon". In recent years, Lanzhou people have cultivated many new varieties by using science and technology. There are also yellow river honey and Lanzhou melon. I can't remember what dates and dozens of dates are. These melons are delicious in color and flavor, and are found all over the country.
First-class, and some even won prizes, making Lanzhou's melon and fruit market more colorful.
Speaking of fruits, I can't help being happy, because I like eating fruits very much since I was a child, such as watermelons, peaches, grapes and apples. Sometimes I don't eat much, but I eat a lot of fruit every day. My parents always say that I am a beautiful daughter who grew up eating fruit.
Among my favorite fruits, strawberry is my favorite, because it not only ripens early, but also ranks first among all melons and fruits, and it is delicious, slightly sour, slightly sweet, sweet and sour, and harmless to the stomach.
In order to understand how strawberries grow, I also looked up a lot of information about strawberries on the Internet. From this I know that strawberry is a perennial herb of Rosaceae, also known as raspberry, which is native to South America. There are many varieties of strawberries, including more than 20xx varieties. Strawberries like warm weather and are not cold-tolerant. Strawberries grow in many provinces and cities in Hebei, Shandong and southern China.
Strawberries are spherical or oval. Mature fruit is bright red with uneven surface and many small seeds. When I was a child, I thought a lot of sesame seeds stuck to it. Strawberry fruit is bright red, soft, juicy, sweet and sour. They are rich in vitamin C, but also contain carotene, various vitamins, glucose, protein, fat, iron, calcium, phosphorus and so on. Therefore, some people call strawberries "beautiful fruits". They picked up one and chewed it gently in their mouths. This pink juice, accompanied by tender pulp, has a sweet, sour and cold feeling in their mouths. The only regret is that the small seeds attached to the strawberry surface have no taste.
Whenever my parents buy strawberries, as long as I have time, I will personally pick the green leaves under the strawberries. If leaves are fresh, strawberries must be fresh. I really hope to have the opportunity to go to the place where strawberries grow and see with my own eyes how strawberries grow.
I still have many ways to eat strawberries, some of which were told by my parents and some of which were invented by myself. For example, wash the strawberries, cut them into four pieces with a knife, put them on a plate and sprinkle some sugar, so that even if the strawberries are not ripe, they will not feel very sour. You can also mix cut strawberries with cut cucumbers and tomatoes and add salad dressing to make a delicious fruit salad. In a word, strawberry is one of my favorite fruits.
Fruit Excellent Composition 8 Whenever I think of apples, the long fragrance permeates my heart; Taste an apple, chew it carefully, seven points are sweet, two points are cool, and one point of inexplicable temptation quickly spreads all over the body, making people want to eat a second bite, which makes people memorable.
Apple is round, like a chubby little doll, wearing a pink coat and an antenna cap, smiling and shaking a floral skirt. After cutting, the shiny, crystal-clear pulp is exposed, and by the way, there are little stars that don't want to be exposed, blinking lively eyes in the apple belly, showing a little naughty inside and out. Before one of them finished eating, his hands were covered with juice, sticky and sweet.
As a civilian "fruit queen" with high nutritional value, apples have always been deeply loved by Chinese people. However, many people may not fully understand its nutritional value. Apples are rich in fructose and glucose, especially in various fruits. At the same time, apples also contain a lot of fruit acid, pectin and potassium. In addition, protein, fat and vitamins make Apple live up to its reputation as the "fruit queen".
Apple has the effects of stimulating appetite, promoting fluid production, eliminating dryness, calming nerves, harmonizing spleen and benefiting qi. At the same time, apples also prevent colds and protect people's cardiovascular health; Recently, some scientists have found that immature apples have good radiation protection effect, and the radiation protection effect of apples is much higher than that of cactus, aloe and other radiation protection plants. At the same time, apples also have many functions such as anti-cancer and prevention of lead poisoning.
Folk saying: the apples in the morning are golden apples, the apples at noon are silver apples, and the apples at night are copper apples. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that the best time to eat apples is in the morning, because in the morning, people's spleen and stomach activities are the most vigorous, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Eating after meals will turn the sugar in apples into fat, and the fat will accumulate in the human body, forming obesity!
Whenever we travel, we always take a few apples to satisfy our hunger or thirst. To this end, my mother also bought a fruit plate and a fruit knife and put them in the living room. She washed some apples and put them on the plate. When guests come or we are thirsty, we will pick up the apples on the table and eat them with relish.
I remember once, our family bought a juicer. Mother took some apples and put them in the juicer. After a while, each of us drank a glass of apple juice. I drank two bowls at a time!
People often say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Eat more apples in the future and let yourself grow up healthily! Dear blogger, you must eat too!
One night, I went to bed after reading extracurricular books. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing. I opened my eyes and saw a spaceship parked in front of the window. Oh, my God! I rubbed my eyes and looked at it carefully. It is really a spaceship with the words "Chang 'e I" written on it. I went to the cockpit and sat down. The spaceship started slowly, flew into the distant sky and soon came to an unknown planet.
There is a big village on the planet, in front of which stands a sign that says "Welcome to the Fruit Village". Many spaceships stopped at the gate and many children came out one after another. At this time, a big apple with a flag called us together and said that it would take us to the fruit village. So the big apple is a tour guide, a fruit village? What a strange name, but since we're here, let's go in and have a look.
Walking through the village entrance, I saw a lot of fruits. The tour guide introduced some members of the fruit village to us, including Uncle Li, Sister Tao, Mr. Watermelon, Mrs. Strawberry, banana judge and cucumber thief, and told many jokes about them. We listened with relish. Suddenly someone in the crowd gave a cry of "Ah". What happened? We all look back. It turns out that we have all become all kinds of fruits. At this time, the crowd has been laughing, and I have become a "big pineapple". Ha ha ha ... that's interesting.
I looked around. Suddenly, the cucumber thief snatched Mrs. Strawberry's wallet and ran away. Judge banana, Uncle Li and Sister Tao can't catch up with him. Mr. Watermelon shrank and rolled towards the cucumber thief, but the cucumber thief escaped. Mrs Strawberry burst into tears.
Oh, that's not bad. A group of us surrounded the cucumber thief and caught him easily. At this time, Judge Banana also came running, saw that we caught the thief, smiled from ear to ear and praised us for being brave.
Later, the villagers in the fruit village invited us to eat a special fruit salad to thank us. It's really delicious. Someone kept pushing me while I was eating hard. I suddenly opened my eyes and found my mother pushing me. Did she come to the fruit village, too? Then mother said, "It's time to get up".
Only then did I know that I was still in bed and it was already dawn outside, so it was a dream. At this time, I found that the extracurricular books at the bedside were still open. There is a spaceship on that page, and a big apple with a flag is painted next to it. Oh … the fruit village is so interesting.
Some people like red apples, some people like sweet cantaloupe, some people like big and soft red dates, and I like sour and sweet oranges.
Citrus is a specialty of our hometown. There are many kinds of citrus, such as ponkan, barrel orange and small orange. Citrus contains many vitamins, which is good for our health. The hot summer is coming, and the oranges in the orchard are not yet ripe. It's dark green, the size of a ping-pong ball. If you pick one from the tree and peel it off, you will frown and feel sour. In early autumn, small oranges will turn from green to yellow, yellow and green. At that time, the little orange will grow with the encouragement of father-in-law Sun and mother-in-law Feng. When autumn comes, the small orange will become a big orange, and its color will become a beautiful orange. When you walk into the orchard, you will see oranges hanging on the branches like red lights. You peel off a picked orange and see: the pulp is full, the orange petals are like crescent moon, and the stars are around the center. A gentle bite will make you feel sweet and beautiful. There is a thin layer of shredded orange around the orange meat. Some people eat citrus, and they always peel it off, so you will suffer. Shredded orange is nutritious! Citrus is a treasure, and its skin can be used as medicine-dried tangerine peel or candied fruit. Some chefs can cook delicious food, which can also help digestion! During the Spring Festival, every household prepares oranges. Even if there are no seeds at home, they will buy some. My mother and grandmother always take some oranges, put them on a plate and worship them. It is said that in spring books, oranges represent good luck and fish represent more than a year. ...
Citrus is not only small and lovely, but also rich in nutrition, which makes people beautiful. The more you eat, the more you love it. It can also make people healthy. I heard that a person has leukemia, which is terrible. However, his family doesn't have that much money, but his favorite food is citrus. He picks one or two baskets of oranges from the yard every day and eats them when he is bored or sad every day. A month later.
Citrus has high yield, comprehensive nutrition, easy preservation, diverse varieties and delicious taste, and I can never get tired of eating it. You are my favorite fruit!
Youguo Composition 1 1 ""The little red jar is full of red jiaozi. After eating red jiaozi, white beads spit out. "Classmates, do you know what fruit this is? This is my favorite fruit-oranges.
Oranges are similar in appearance, but they are big and small, as big as fists and as small as eggs. The orange peel is slightly blue. Golden oranges hang on the tree, just like small lanterns, very attractive! I can't wait to pick one and hold it in my hand. The surface of oranges is cool and smooth. I put the orange in front of my nose and took a deep breath. Its faint fragrance surrounds my nose and makes me feel refreshed.
I slowly peeled off its yellow-green coat with my hands, revealing dolls in white striped clothes. They surrounded each other as if whispering! I tore off a piece and put it next to my nose to smell it. The sweet and sour taste is refreshing and makes me relax. I picked up a petal, and through the translucent peel, the orange pulp was faintly visible. Peel off the skin and see, the water-like pulp is next to it, which is beautiful!
Speaking of oranges, I have an interesting story with them! At that time, I was only four or five years old and had not eaten oranges. After my mother handed it to me, I looked at this cold and slippery guy in disbelief, squeezed it, and it was still soft. Put it under your nose and smell it. It seems delicious. Is it food? I slowly put the orange into my mouth uncertainly, and with a gentle bite, bitter juice flowed into my mouth, making me numb all over. I spit out the orange peel quickly. "That's terrible! It's terrible! " I shouted.
My mother couldn't help laughing when she saw it. She quickly came to help me peel an orange and put an orange in my mouth. At this time, a sweet juice wrapped in sweet juice flows from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of my heart. That taste is worse than the flat peach of the queen mother!
From then on, I fell in love with oranges. Let my mother buy some whenever she sees it in the fruit shop in the future. Later, it was found that oranges have many medicinal values! It can remove bad breath in the mouth and prevent colds ... it's so versatile!
When I am old, I find that oranges are still frequent visitors in literary works. It was once made into a small lamp to illuminate the dark road for Bing Xin. It was once carried across a railway by a faltering father, which warmed Zhu Ziqing's heart. It also traveled across the ocean to Japan, and was thrown by a little girl to her brother from the window on the train, which made Akutagawa Ryunosuke feel very happy. ...
Orange, it doesn't have the title of "king of fruit", it is just so ordinary, but perhaps it is because of its ordinary that it has witnessed the joy and warmth among so many people. "
