What are the tropical flavors of Hainan's specialty fruits?

Hainan's characteristic fruits are coconut, jackfruit, longan, pistachio and banana. Coconut is a typical tropical crop and one of the landscape plants in tropical areas. Coconuts in Hainan are all over the island and have been cultivated for more than 2,000 years, especially in the southeast coastal areas. Wenchang County enjoys the reputation of "Wenchang Coconut Half Hainan". Coconut trees bloom and fall in the four seasons, and the fruits are constant. A tree has flowers, young fruits, tender fruits and old fruits at the same time, which can be described as "four generations under one roof". Coconut meat and coconut juice are more tender and delicious than the old ones. It is better to drink fresh coconut juice picked on the spot. Coconuts are widely used. Coconut meat can be processed into various kinds of food stewed chicken and become one of Hainan's delicacies.

Pistachio, this kind of fruit looks like a human heart, so it gets its name from its shape. Pistachio nuts originated in America and the West Indies, and were introduced to Hainan for cultivation. Pistacia vera ripens in summer, each weighing 50 ~ 100g. The peel is light brown and the surface is rough. Immature fruit contains a lot of tannins and tastes very astringent. It needs to be stored for a few days after picking, and the pulp needs to be ripened before eating. Pistachio nuts are delicious when eaten raw, or they can be made into pulp, dried and made into fruit wine. There is also a kind of white gum juice all over the fruit trees, which is the first-class raw material for making chewing gum.
