No one picks it up even if it falls, but it can nourish the kidneys, improve eyesight and strengthen bones and muscles

In the mountains and fields in southern Jinan, there are many trees full of these red fruits, and the fruits of each tree are hanging on the branches.

In theory, this is a fruit worth eating in the south, but in the north almost no one eats it, and most people even think it is inedible.

This is the fruit of the paper mulberry tree.

This fruit is called Chu Shi Zi in traditional Chinese medicine and is a good medicinal material with very powerful functions.

Broussonetia papyrifera, also known as paper mulberry, is a deciduous tree of the genus Broussonetia. It grows on hillsides and gullies, and is mostly wild.

Its multiple fruits are orange-red and fleshy when ripe, and look very tempting.

The young leaves of the paulownia tree can be fed to pigs. They do not contain pesticides or hormones and have a unique fragrance. Pigs like to eat them. After eating them, they become sleepy and grow more.

The latex, root bark, bark, leaves, fruits and seeds of the paper mulberry are used as medicine. It has the functions of tonifying the kidney, improving eyesight, promoting diuresis, and strengthening muscles and bones. It is used for symptoms such as soreness of the waist and knees, blurred vision due to kidney deficiency, impotence, edema, etc.

In addition, its bast fiber is a high-quality raw material for papermaking, and its sap can also treat skin diseases.

But it feels such a waste that such good fruits are left to grow and fall on their own!
