If you happen to be cruising along the Yangtze river this month, the chances are you will see a Chinese strawberry tree or what the chinese call Yangmei. Due to it’s health inducing properties, this Chinese Super fruit has recently become more popular as a juice or powder in the west, so you may have been introduced to it by one of it’s many other name such as Myrica Rubra, Yumberry, Waxberry, Bayberry or arbutus. This little berry is packed with vitamins and other nutrients and can have a profound impact on your health. Full of potent antioxidants this fruit helps
- Protect your cells against oxidative stress.
- boost immunity
- Improve cardiovascular function
- Assist with digestion
- Provide needed vitamins (vitamins C & B) and minerals

With a tart taste with sweet sweet undertones, tasting somewher between a pomegranite and a raspberry, try adding it to smoothies, fruit salad or even your favourite tea. The deeper the color the sweeter the fruit. With a very short picking season, this fruit is only available fresh for just a few weeks, so we suggest that you very quickly pop into your local market and some soon. Expect to pay about 15 rmb per jin.
