How to choose delicious pecans?
Bi Gen fruit is an excellent source of protein and can be considered a nutritious delicacy. However, when selecting, it is important to pay attention to the color of the fruit. Generally, fruits with a slightly darker color, a light brown color, and a light aroma are better.
 
Bi Gen Guo from the United States has been a hot favorite in the Chinese New Year shopping industry in recent years. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) pointed out in 2012 that pecan is an excellent source of protein, and good nuts can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

However, recently many businesses have been using excessive amounts of illegal additives to cater to the increasingly picky taste buds of consumers. So, how do we determine whether the Bi Gen fruit has been added with excessive illegal additives?
 
Bleach - a hidden killer of health
Have you found some Bi Gen fruits on the market that are white, shiny, and have a pleasing appearance? That is actually the result of the business using bleach treatment, aimed at making the Bi Gen fruit more beautiful and attractive, and arousing the desire of buyers to consume.
 
Unbleached blueberries have a darker color, usually yellow brown or light yellow. Bleached Bi Gen fruit poses a health hazard to consumers.
 
Perhaps you would think that bleach is used to smoke fruit shells, and we do not consume fruit shells, so bleach has no impact on health. But in fact, there is still a chance that residual bleach on the surface of the fruit shell will be brought into the body during the process of consuming nuts, especially when peeling.
 
The most commonly used bleaching agents in Bi Gen fruit are generally sulfur dioxide or hydrogen peroxide. Bleach has been proven to be an animal carcinogen, harmful to the human body, and long-term consumption can easily lead to gastrointestinal cancer.
 
When selecting, the main thing to consider is the color of the fruit. Generally, fruits with a slightly darker color, a light brown color, and a light aroma are better, because the fruit is too white and too bright may have gone through a bleaching process.
