Identification of Huazhou Orange —— How to Identify the True and False of Huazhou Orange

Teach everyone how to tell the difference between true and false oranges.

Exocarpium Citri Grandis has a long history and has been recorded in many Chinese medicine works, such as Ben Feng Jingyuan, Compendium of Materia Medica, and Guide to Ancient and Modern Medicine. Ancient imperial doctors were often used in the palace and were listed as court tributes.

For hundreds of years, Huazhou people have been studying and exploring the cultivation techniques of Huazhou orange and improving the technology of orange products. So far, they have created a famous brand in China-Huazhou Orange, which has been sold at home and abroad.

However, due to various reasons, there are many problems in the production and sales of Huazhou orange, especially the naming rights of Huazhou orange. Many orange producers and sellers outside Huazhou branded the oranges produced outside Huazhou as "Huazhou Oranges", and some foreign factories branded them as "Huazhou Authentic Oranges", which ruined the reputation of Huazhou Oranges and disturbed Huazhou Oranges.

Authentic "Huazhou Orange" has been severely impacted.

In particular, some people used the western orange produced in Guangxi to pretend to be Huazhou orange for sale, which caused a very bad influence.

Please remember two characteristics of authentic Huazhou orange:

1, fluff: the authentic orange peel in Huazhou is covered with fine fluff, which is one of the main features, including the finished orange fruit, which is fluffy when bought back.

Oranges or grapefruit in other places have no fluff. When they are fresh, their skin is very smooth, and when they are dry, they have no fluff.

2. Smell: Authentic Huazhou orange has obvious orange peel fragrance, which is not available in ordinary oranges.

Ordinary oranges are said to have the effect of treating cough, but they are far from Huazhou orange.

Many consumers think it won't be too far away. After all, they are all oranges, so it is better to eat more ordinary oranges. Why do you have to pay such a high price for oranges? This is definitely a misunderstanding. Think about why the Ming and Qing emperors listed Huazhou orange as a tribute, and all of it should be produced every year, so it should not be circulated among the people.

Ordinary orange products on the market are often sold mixed with Huazhou oranges. Here are two main kinds of common oranges:
