Why are grapes in Xinjiang so delicious?

Grapes in Xinjiang are the best in the world, especially in Turpan. Turpan is the main grape production base in China, with total output accounting for 52.84% in Xinjiang and raisin production accounting for 75% in China. Here, seedless white grapes are the main varieties, including 13, mare's milk, red grapes, Kaska, Baijiagan, Sasaki and so on. Its fruits are spherical, oval and oval. Some grapes are crystal clear as pearls, some are fresh as agate, and some are green as jade. Bright green fresh grapes are mouth watering. In particular, the seedless white grapes produced here have thin skin and tender flesh, delicious juice and rich nutrition. They are called "pearls", and their sugar content is as high as 20-24%, surpassing the grapes in California, ranking first in the world. Raisins dried with seedless white grapes have a sugar content as high as 60% and are regarded as treasures in grapes. Grapes have been planted in the western regions for more than two thousand years. When Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he found that grapes had been widely planted here. At present, Turpan's grape planting area and total output account for about 20% of the country and 50% of Xinjiang. Due to the suitable environment, the quality of grapes produced here far exceeds that of its origin in the Mediterranean coastal areas. Turpan is rich in grape variety resources with more than 600 varieties. The most famous are dried seedless white grapes, mare's milk, red grapes and medicinal Soxhlet grapes. According to the Ming Hui Dian, the value of Soxhlet grape is higher than camel skin and otter skin. "Seedless white" is not only thin and brittle, but also perspires, which can be dried and made into green raisins. Grapes in Turpan are bright in color, big in grain and delicious, and sweet in throat. In recent years, there have been more than 240 kinds of grape products made from fresh grapes and raisins. Walking into the oasis in midsummer, the grape trellis of every household will not only bring you shade, but also the hospitable host will pick crystal clear fresh grapes, which is related to the geographical environment. There is a saying that "if you can't eat grapes, you will be sour." I did eat grapes and said they were sour. When I was five or six years old, my neighbor had an old man who planted a grape in his garden. One day, I saw a bunch of beautiful fruits that I couldn't name through the cracks in the wall, which was very novel. What is this? A string of green pearls. Does it taste good？ It is with this curiosity that I tried to tie a small hook with a small wooden stick and put it in through the gap in the garden wall made of that stone, reaching for it, reaching for it, always keeping an eye on whether anyone around me saw it, and my heart jumped with fear. Finally arrived, and I couldn't wait to put the green grapes in my mouth. Ah, it's so sour and astringent that I can't stick my tongue out. That was the first time I tasted grapes in my life. Grapes in Turpan, melons in Hami and Kuqa's "foreign jar" (meaning "girl" in Uighur) are all picturesque. When I was a soldier, I was stationed in Kuqa, and I saw beautiful women running all over the street every day. If the army has no discipline and can't fall in love with local girls, it may serenade national marriage. Of course, what impressed me the most was tasting the world-famous Turpan grapes. That winter, our troops went to southern Xinjiang to build a simple road leading to the army farm and passed by the village of fellow villagers. I heard that there are abundant grapes there, so I want to buy some and try them. So, during the construction break, several comrades invited each other to the villagers' homes, even gesticulating and explaining our purpose. The villagers took us into their grape storage room. It is a sealed house with many shelves, and grapes are hung on the shelves layer by layer. I feel strange. Is raisin dried like this? We asked how much is a catty? The fellow villager stretched out a few fingers and gestured, but he couldn't remember how much it was. Anyway, we thought it was very expensive at that time, as if our allowance was only a dozen dollars a month. I didn't know this grape producing area was still so expensive? People say that the goods will die when they arrive at the farm. Why is it expensive to arrive at the farm? We went together, and several comrades felt incredible. But since I want to buy it, a few dollars is not bad. At least it's a novelty. I am a soldier in Xinjiang, and I can't even eat grapes unique to Xinjiang. In that case, telling it to future generations won't make them laugh. Together, we just bought a few kilograms less. Why are grapes in Xinjiang so sweet? According to research, China had planted grapes and produced wine before 206 BC (Han Dynasty). Sima Qian recorded wine for the first time in his famous Historical Records. In BC 138, Zhang Qian, a diplomat, was sent to the Western Regions on the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He saw that "grapes make wine around ten thousand, the rich hide wine above ten thousand stones, and those who stay for a long time are unbeaten at the age of several decades." Ordinary people are addicted to alcohol, while horses are addicted to alfalfa. Han made the letter true, so the emperor began to plant alfalfa and the grapes were fertile. And Tianma, foreign envoys come to the public, then leave the palace pavilion to make all kinds of peach blossoms, alfalfa eager "("Historical Records? 6? 1 dawan biography (back to the sixty-third). Dawan is a country in the ancient western regions, located in the Fergana Valley in Central Asia. This historical data fully shows that during the Western Han Dynasty, China had learned and mastered the techniques of grape cultivation and wine-making from neighboring countries. Although the production technology of grapes and wine was introduced in Han dynasty, it did not spread. In the Tang dynasty, wine began to have a great influence in the mainland. The grape cultivation and wine-making methods learned from Gaochang (about 20 kilometers east of Turpan, Xinjiang) lasted for a long historical period in the Tang Dynasty, so that the name of wine appeared frequently in many poems of the Tang Dynasty. When grapes were introduced to the mainland, people in the Tang Dynasty were ecstatic with their bright pearl-like fruits and sweet wines. On the bronze mirror for women's dressing, there is also a beautiful "sea animal grape" pattern. At present, Turpan's grape planting area and total output account for about 20% of the country and 50% of Xinjiang. Due to the suitable environment, the quality of grapes produced here far exceeds that of its origin in the Mediterranean coastal areas. Turpan is rich in grape variety resources with more than 600 varieties. The most famous are dried seedless white grapes, mare's milk, red grapes and medicinal Soxhlet grapes. According to the Ming Hui Dian, the value of Soxhlet grape is higher than camel skin and otter skin. "Seedless white" is not only thin and brittle, but also perspires. After drying, it can be made into green raisins. This kind of raisin is pure in color and unique in flavor. It does not contain any additives and pigments, and is rich in natural fructose, protein, vitamins, cellulose, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other trace elements needed by human body. Identified by foreign scientific circles, raisins contain a special anticancer substance, which is a multi-purpose pure natural health food. When you enter the oasis in midsummer, every family's grape trellis will not only bring you shade, but also the hospitable host will collect crystal fresh grapes to quench your thirst. Even in the dead of winter, well-preserved grapes can still be tasted in the markets around the Tarim Basin. Of course, with the development of science and technology, no matter where you go, you can eat grapes in any season, especially in supermarkets in major cities. You can eat not only grapes from China, but also grapes from the United States. But the grapes in the United States are not as delicious as those in China. I remember going to Xiamen for a meeting in February/October that year, and seeing fresh grapes in the fruit supermarket, I bought some American grapes in the supermarket and brought them back for my family to taste. As a result, the whole family shook their heads and said that it was sour and not delicious at all, saying that I spent foreign money and suffered foreign crimes. After that, I was not interested in foreign fruits. Although all grapes are sour, the grapes in China are sour and sweet.
