What kinds of dried fruits are there in Xinjiang and what are their characteristics?
Sisters know that the dried fruits and fresh fruits in Xinjiang are very sweet. That's because:
1. Abundant sunlight: Xinjiang has a long annual sunshine duration and strong solar radiation, which is conducive to the full photosynthesis of fruits, accumulating a large amount of sugar and nutrients.
2. Huge temperature difference between day and night: High temperature during the day promotes photosynthesis and sugar accumulation, while low temperature at night inhibits respiration and reduces sugar consumption, making the sugar content of fruits highly concentrated and extremely sweet.
3. Dry and less rainy climate: The dry air greatly reduces the risk of fruits rotting due to moisture during growth and drying, which is very conducive to natural drying (sun-drying or air-drying), and can retain the original flavor and color of fruits to the greatest extent.
4. Pure irrigation water sources: Mainly relying on the meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains and other high mountains for irrigation, the water sources are clean and pollution-free.
5. Unique soil: In some areas (such as Turpan and Hami), the sandy soil has good air permeability and is rich in minerals.
