Mi Xiang Apricot

Mi Xiang Apricot

　　Mi Xiang Apricot was listed as a famous product of Henan Province in 1986. It is an outstanding variety selected and confirmed by the Provincial Apricot Research Collaboration Group from over 100 types of apricots, mainly produced in Youfangzhuang, Baizhai. It ripens in mid to late May. The fruit is golden yellow and glossy all over, with thin and tender skin. It has a richly sweet and slightly sour taste, is juicy, high in sugar content, and features large, fragrant kernels without any bitter taste. Larger fruits weigh over 100 grams, while smaller ones are no less than 50 grams. It tastes sweet upon eating and leaves a memorable aftertaste. It enjoys great fame not only locally but also has a high reputation elsewhere. Henan Daily, Zhengzhou Evening News, and Henan TV have all reported on it. Former Vice Governor Zhang Shiying once personally visited the apricot base in Youfangzhuang for inspection.
