Red wax (lat. Myrica rubra) - a fruit crop belonging to the Mirikov family, or Voskovnicevs. Its second name is Chinese strawberry.
Description
Red Voskovnitsa is a tree from ten to twenty meters high with a luxurious hemispherical crown. The smooth bark is gray, and the plant itself is dioecious.
The rounded fruits of the red beetroot reach a diameter of one and a half to two and a half centimeters. All of them are covered with a purple or red leathery, rough and rather dense shell. The reddish pulp contained inside the fruit is very sweet and surprisingly tender, while its taste is quite tart. By the way, the taste of red gumboil resembles a combination of several tastes at once: cherry, blackberry and strawberry. And in the very center of each fruit is a large seed.
Where grows
Voskovnitsa red - a native of East Asia. Since ancient times (to be more precise, over two millennia), it has been actively cultivated in the countries of Southeast Asia, as well as not in China and Japan. The name of this beautiful plant can be found in a huge number of ancient Japanese poems. Now, the largest plantings of this culture can be seen in China, somewhat south of the Yangtze River - in this area it has colossal economic importance, since the red gristle is an excellent raw material for winemaking and a valuable source of food. In addition, this crop is grown in Korea, Nepal, Taiwan and the Philippines.
Application
In most cases, red wax is eaten fresh, in addition, it is fermented into wine, canned and dried, and also excellent juices, yoghurts and liqueurs are prepared from it. It is no less good in the form of desserts. At the same time, marvelous berries are practically not exported outside the growing areas, since they simply cannot be stored for a long time.
Since ancient times, the fruits of the red waxweed have been famous for their excellent healing properties. They are very rich in antioxidants, so their regular use can not only improve metabolism, but also have anti-sclerotic, rejuvenating and restorative effects.
These unusual fruits will be excellent helpers for heavy menstruation, muscular dystrophy and anemia, in addition, they are an excellent prophylactic against oncology. Voskovnik red perfectly helps to recover after operations, and also boasts a pronounced anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and fixing effect.
It is used for medicinal purposes and tree bark. However, very good dyes are obtained from it. And the extraordinary decorativeness of the red gum tree allows it to be used in gardening, as well as in forestry. In addition, nitrogen-fixing bacteria are concentrated on its roots, which makes this crop capable of enriching the soil with nitrogen.
Contraindications
The main contraindications are diabetes mellitus and exacerbation of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Possible individual intolerance cannot be ruled out.
After eating fresh fruits, in order to prevent the development of caries, the mouth should be rinsed with a solution of baking soda or resorted to using toothpaste.
Growing and caring
Red wax is quite capable of withstanding frosts up to minus five degrees and can multiply both by seeds and by cuttings. This is an extremely unpretentious plant that grows well even on acidic or very poor soils.
