Why is the black skinned watermelon that is all the rage in the market not common now?

In summer, many people like to drink ice drinks, and many people like to eat watermelon, after all, watermelon is sweet and thirst-quenching, and from the point of view, compared with other fruits, watermelon is still relatively cheap, it is simply cheap. We know that most of the watermelons sold on the market now are green-skinned watermelons, however, what many people don't know is that there is actually a kind of black-skinned watermelon, and many elderly elders know that the current green-skinned watermelons are not as delicious as the previous black-skinned watermelons. So, since green-skinned watermelons are not as delicious as black-skinned watermelons, why are there so few black-skinned watermelons now?

Is there anything hidden in this?

In fact, anyone who knows black-skinned watermelons knows that there are two kinds of black-skinned watermelons, one is cannonball melons, and the other looks like basketballs, and is known as black beauty. Of course, the surface of both types of watermelons is black, but the part near the ground is not exposed to sunlight, so it shows a distinct golden yellow, which is a great feature of black melons. In fact, the previous black-skinned watermelons were basically seedless watermelons, and the yield was also very high, very large, a watermelon was about 15 to 20 pounds, such a big watermelon is a bit big for a family of three, if you can't finish it and put it in the refrigerator, it will affect the taste.

In such a situation, people gradually turned their attention to medium-sized watermelons, and over time, black-skinned watermelons slowly faded out of the market.

Of course, in addition to this reason, there is actually another very important reason, that is, the skin of the black-skinned watermelon is too thick, and many people feel that it is not cost-effective not to buy the black-skinned watermelon. In fact, for a 15-kilogram watermelon, the melon skin weighs five kilograms, plus its sweetness is not as high as the green-skinned watermelon, sometimes it is not good to buy, and raw melons will be bought, so it is not competitive in the market.

We know that the reason why melon farmers sell melons is to make money and sell them at a good price. However, the profit of black-skinned watermelon is too low, and more importantly, in the process of planting melons, melon farmers have to be pollinated manually, and black-skinned seedless watermelons are the most difficult varieties to pollinate. It is worth mentioning that if there are pests and diseases that year, basically the melon farmers will not even be able to recover the cost.

From this point of view, these characteristics of black-skinned watermelons make melon farmers less and less welcome, and in the end, there are not many melon farmers who want to plant black-skinned watermelons. Therefore, there are very few black-skinned watermelons on the market now.

In the summer, basically all varieties of watermelons are on the market one after another, such as the kind of medium-sized, and very sweet watermelon, will also be more favored by consumers, which has a ruthless impact on black-skinned watermelons. In this case, black-skinned watermelons are gradually eliminated, although there are still black-skinned watermelons on the market, but the number is only a fraction of that of green-skinned watermelons.

The "black-skinned watermelon" that is all the rage in the market is now uncommon because: on the one hand, the black-skinned watermelon has a thick skin and is large, and it is not easy to be sought after by consumers; On the other hand, growers feel that the benefits are not high, so they reduce planting.

The skin of the black-skinned watermelon is too thick and not competitive in the market. It is too big, and people tend to pick medium-sized watermelons. Black-skinned watermelons make it easy for farmers to lose money, and most farmers choose not to grow black-skinned watermelons just to be on the safe side.

The seeds of black-skinned watermelons are more expensive, the yield is low, and the economic income brought to farmers is much lower than that of other watermelons, so farmers are reluctant to plant.

There are two kinds of black-skinned watermelons, one is cannonball melon, and the other looks like a basketball, and is known as the black beauty. The surface of these two melons is black, but the part near the ground is not exposed to sunlight, so it shows a distinct golden yellow, which is a great feature of black melons. How did this kind of high-value, high-quality black beauty watermelon slowly fade out of people's eyes?

The reason why black-skinned watermelons faded out of the people's market is because the first reason is that consumers are reluctant to buy black-skinned watermelons. For the black-skinned watermelon, it must be an unforgettable delicacy in the memory of many rural people. At that time, there were many people in our village who planted large black-skinned watermelons, among which the "Black Beauty" variety was the most planted, and the farmer's family had planted it for several years.

This variety of watermelon has two major characteristics, that is, the watermelon is particularly large, generally can grow to more than ten catties, and some can grow to more than 20 catties. Such a large watermelon, for a family, really can't eat it all in a day. Especially now that the standard of living has improved, most people want to eat fruits every day, even if they love to eat, they will control the amount, so they don't eat much every day.

With such a large watermelon, the family can't eat it in one day, and they are worried about being unhygienic when they eat it in two days, so many people prefer smaller watermelons. <

Another is the planting problem, farmers who have planted black-skinned watermelons know that compared with ordinary watermelon seeds, its purchase cost is higher, more fertilizer is needed when planting, and the management is also very troublesome, and the cost is relatively high in general. But on the first day, it is the same as other watermelons, and it will not sell more, so it is difficult for farmers to make too much profit from it, and everyone's enthusiasm for planting will naturally weaken. Black-skinned watermelon tastes sweet, but it also requires everyone to be able to choose carefully, if you choose well, it tastes sweet and crispy.

However, there are always many people who find that the melon pulp is relatively sandy, and it tastes the same as "cotton", which does not taste very good at all, and makes people not interested in eating it, so the number of people who are willing to buy it decreases. <>

Now is the season when watermelons are on the market in large quantities, and our impression of watermelons is that they are green and black with core skin, and we may think of this color when we think of watermelons. But did you know that there is another type of watermelon that has a black skin? Friends living in the countryside should know very well that black skin was very common in the countryside before, and everyone loved to eat it, but it is rare to see it now, and I don't know why.

In the past, in the countryside, before the summer of Fuhui, people drove to the countryside every day to sell melons, when a large number of watermelons were on the market, watermelons were very cheap, a dime a catty, and we bought a pocket, only five or six yuan, enough to eat for ten days and half a month. At that time, I often ate black-skinned watermelon, because black-skinned watermelon is seedless, and the flesh is sandy, so it tastes very sweet. The disadvantage is that if you don't pick well, it's easy to pick a thick one.

If the quality is not good, it bites like cotton, which may be the reason why it is slowly fading out of the market.

It is said that it is black skin, but in fact, it is not black in the true sense of the word, and real black skin watermelons are only available in Japan, and the yield is very low, only a few hundred a year. The black-skinned watermelon we often eat in the countryside is not pure black, but we are more accustomed to calling it black-skinned watermelon. This is the memory of a generation.

I have eaten watermelon many times in the past few years, but I have not seen a single black-skinned watermelon in the market. The most common is 8424

The skin of this black-skinned watermelon is particularly thick, this watermelon is not particularly sweet, the yield is not particularly high, and there are more and more varieties of watermelon, so it will be eliminated.

It may be because the taste of this watermelon cannot adapt to the taste of people now, and the visual feeling is not particularly good.

It should be that the more delicious and easier to survive watermelon was studied, so the previous black-skinned watermelon was eliminated.

Watermelon is a fruit that can be eaten all year round, generally more in summer, ** is also cheaper, if it is other seasons, it is more expensive to sell. There are many varieties of watermelon, and when watermelon is on the market in summer, it can even be sold for less than one dollar, and when there are more watermelons, it is easy to be unsalable. When I was young, I could often see black-skinned watermelons in the market, this kind of watermelon has very large seeds, but it tastes very sweet, but now it is rare in the market, and few people will plant it, because this kind of watermelon is not very pleasing, it is relatively late on the market, and it is not easy to grow.

In the past, when people bought watermelons, the larger watermelons were generally more popular with everyone, but the smaller watermelons could not be sold at a good price. But nowadays, when people buy watermelons, they like to buy half of them at once and then dig them with a spoon to eat, so they will buy as small watermelons as possible. The reason why black-skinned watermelons will be eliminated is because they grow too big, and even if they buy half of them, they can't eat them all at home, so in the end it is very easy to waste time, and no one wants to buy them after they grow up.

This black-skinned watermelon grows relatively large and takes a long time to grow, otherwise it would not have grown so big. For people who grow watermelons, if the watermelons are listed earlier, they can sell them at a good price, but if they are listed later, they will be cheaper. The growth cycle of black-skinned watermelon is relatively long, so it is relatively late on the market, and now many watermelon varieties are sweeter and more dominant in the market, so farmers are more willing to plant those watermelon varieties that are listed earlier.

Anyone who has experience in growing watermelons knows that they need to pollinate watermelons when they grow watermelons, otherwise the yield of watermelons will become very low, and the same is true for black-skinned watermelons. Black-skinned watermelon is more demanding and troublesome when planting, and there is a link in the middle that is to be pollinated manually, so it requires a lot of labor costs. If the grower himself hires someone, he will get two or three hundred yuan a day, which is a big expense for the grower.

Therefore, the fruit farmers slowly eliminated this black-skinned watermelon and were unwilling to plant it again.

Because this watermelon does not have a large market, many people are reluctant to buy this watermelon, which is cost-effective.

Because the skin of this watermelon is particularly thick, the size of this watermelon is also very large, and ordinary people can't buy it at all.

This kind of watermelon is very large, and many people can't eat it all, and now few people will choose such a large watermelon, which will affect the interests of farmers.

Nowadays, everyone's life is becoming more and more exquisite, and the black-skinned watermelon is too big and heavy for ordinary families to eat.

It's too big. Many of the post-80s and post-90s generations are no strangers to black-skinned watermelons, and the first impression of black-skinned watermelons is that the watermelons are particularly large, and the small black-skinned watermelons weigh more than a dozen pounds, and the large ones weigh twenty-three pounds. Because in the past, most of the rural areas were working at home, and the family population was large, and the work was all manual work.

The size of this black-skinned watermelon is too big to buy it back and can't eat it at all, and the skin of the black-skinned watermelon is relatively thick, and then it is not particularly sweet, so it was eliminated.

Because of the "cheekiness" of the black-skinned watermelon. It is no exaggeration to say that a 15-kilogram black-skinned watermelon, the final discarded melon skin weighs 5-6 kilograms, and the black-skinned watermelon is indeed slightly inferior in sweetness compared to the current watermelon. Although it is not high, the yield of such a black-skinned seedless watermelon is indeed very high, most of them belong to medium-ripe varieties, and they are large, generally about 15-20 catties each.

It may be precisely because the black-skinned watermelon is too large that it is slowly forced to the market by small and medium-sized watermelons. In addition to the consumer's choice of cavity that led to the slow withdrawal of black-skinned watermelons from the market, there is another reason for the closure of the macro layer from watermelon growers. For them, the low profit of black-skinned watermelon and the need for more work have slowly eliminated black-skinned watermelon by growers.

Black seedless watermelon varieties: 1, Fuqi Heitong, Fuqi Heitong K-9. Both belong to the varieties of black and empty lead seeded watermelon, and the weight of a single melon is 8 to 10 kilograms.

Black-skinned watermelons include black King Kong watermelon, Qingfa black horse watermelon and other varieties. Black Beauty WatermelonBlack Beauty Watermelon is an extremely early maturing variety, with strong plant growth, strong resistance, good yield, and not easy to crack fruit. Black Beauty Watermelon is oval-shaped, which looks very cute and exciting, and the firm taste of Black Beauty Watermelon is also loved by many people.

Black-skinned seedless melon is produced by cross-breeding and mutagenesis, black-skinned seedless melon is easy to store, early ripening, and usually can be ripened and picked in mid-July. In terms of taste, the black-skinned seedless melon is crisp and sweet, with fine flesh and very unique.
