Main origin:
1、 Northeast cultivation area
It is distributed in Liaoning Province and Southern Jilin Province. It has a temperate humid and semi humid climate, and the temperature is low in winter. The concentrated production areas are Donggou, Kuandian and Fengcheng in Dandong. This area mainly cultivates Dandong chestnut of Japanese chestnut system, and a small amount of chestnut is cultivated, of which Japanese chestnut accounts for about 90%, which is mostly used for processing.
1. Look at the color: the shell has bright red, brown, purple, stone and other colors, with glossy particles and generally good quality. If the shell is discolored, dim and with black shadow, it indicates that the fruit has been eaten by insects or deteriorated due to heat. 2. Pinch fruits: you can pinch chestnuts by hand. If the particles are firm, the pulp is usually plump; If the particles are empty, it means that the pulp becomes dry or soft. 3. Crank by hand: shake a few chestnuts on the stage or put them in your hands. The sound of shells makes the pulp dry and hard. Understandably, chestnuts or raw chestnuts will pretend to be fresh chestnuts. 4. Taste: good chestnuts are light yellow, hard, delicate meat, low moisture, high sweetness, rich aroma and delicious taste. On the contrary, they are hard and taste bad. 5. Distinguish particles: chestnut particles should not be too large. Chestnuts in China are divided into southern chestnuts and Northern chestnuts. Bailey generally has small particles, about 70-80 per 500 grams, round, thin skin, easy to peel off after frying, uniform particles and good quality.
