Dunhuang, is located in Gansu Province in northwest China. It has long sunshine hours and high temperatures. Thanks to the local geographical and climatic conditions, the apricots grown here are delicious and tasty. They are named "Li Guang Xing" because of the legend of the "Flying General" in the Western Han Dynasty. Since Li Guang Xing is a seasonal fruit and is not easy to store, the locals also will remove the pits from the ripe apricots and dry them into apricot skins, add wolfberries, rock sugar and other auxiliary materials, and boil them into apricot skin water, which is sweet and sour and has become a local specialty summer drink; and the company also processes Li Guang Xing into apricot skin tea, preserved fruits and other northwest specialties for sale.
Li Guang Xing has a regular shape, nearly round, and the fruit is larger than a big plum. The skin is golden yellow, the color is shiny, the skin is thin, the flesh is small, the core is small, the taste is delicious and juicy, the fragrance is overflowing, and it is sweet and juicy.
In order to increase product diversity and improve fruit farmers' income, many growers will introduce corresponding processing machines to improve labor efficiency and grade apricots, so that Li Guang apricots can be sold in batches and prices. Apricots can be graded by size or by weight. In order to reduce damage to the fruit skin, a weight grader is the best choice.
