About Trepunti.Sicily
The Trepunti farm is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and the highest active volcano in Europe, Mount Etna, can already be seen on the farm. Therefore, the soil on the farm contains a lot of minerals that help crops grow, which is very suitable for fruit growth.
The farmer, Jennifer, is a girl from Hong Kong who is married to a Sicilian farmer. She pays great attention to the food safety and quality of fruits and vegetables. In order to pursue higher quality fruits and vegetables, she began to learn how to cultivate organic fruits and vegetables. Jennifer and his wife, who like Hong Kong very much, opened an online store in Hong Kong in 2019 in order to allow the public in Hong Kong to enjoy the high-quality fruits and vegetables of Sicily, and bring high-quality Sicilian fruits and vegetables to Hong Kong citizens.

Native to the eastern Himalayas. It spread to India in the tenth century, Europe in the twelfth century, and America in the fifteenth century.

Lemons are rich in nutrients such as thiamine, vitamins, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and dietary fiber. Pregnant women often drink lemonade, which helps the fetus absorb nutrients. When you have a bad appetite in the early stages of pregnancy, or when you vomit during pregnancy, you can drink some lemonade, which can relieve it. Lemon water is rich in dietary fiber, and dietary fiber helps to promote bowel movements and increase appetite. Drinking lemonade also has a whitening effect and can prevent tan during pregnancy.
Lemons are rich in vitamin C. When you have a cold, drink 500 to 1000 ml of lemon water a day, which can relieve your runny nose, and the cold will go away quickly, especially at the beginning of the cold. It can be cured without medicine. At the beginning of a cold, you might as well drink water with lemon and honey, which can relieve sore throat and reduce discomfort such as dry throat. However, the amount of drinking must be controlled. It should not exceed 1000 ml per day, and the selected lemons should not be too sour, because drinking a lot of sour lemonade for a long time will easily affect the acid-base balance in pregnant women.
Pay attention when eating:
It is best for pregnant women to drink lemonade with honey. Honey can provide the nutrition needed by the fetus. Honey is very rich in calcium, zinc and other trace elements. It is an ideal natural green supplement. When you get up in the morning, you can drink a glass of warm water first, then drink honey lemonade, and eat breakfast after 30-60 minutes. Because at this time, the human body's functions have tended to be normal, and it has become resistant to irritating water, and the intestines and stomach of the human body can be cleaned and moisturized through the action of water.
*Edible Compatibility：
appropriate:
1. Lemon juice and seafood: Lemon juice with strong acidity can kill bacteria in most seafood within 15 minutes, so it is suitable to eat with seafood.
2. Lemon and honey: eating together is very effective in treating bronchitis and nasopharyngitis.
3. Lemon and sugar: Both are cooked together, have the effects of promoting body fluids to quench thirst, appetizing, and preventing miscarriage.
4. Lemon and ginger: decocting the two together can regulate Qi and vomiting.
Xiangke:
1. Lemon juice and carrots: Vitamin C decomposing enzymes in carrots can easily destroy vitamin C in lemons, thereby reducing its nutritional content.
2. Lemon and milk: Lemon contains fruit acid, which combines with protein in milk to form a non-digestible solidified substance, which stimulates the stomach and easily causes diarrhea.
Cooking Skills：The fruit is a citrus fruit, the peel is yellow and shiny, the peel is thicker than the general citrus, and it is close to the pulp. The fruit is oval in shape, with pointed and milky protrusions at both ends. Juicy, meaty and crisp, with a rich aroma, sour and slightly bitter. Because the pulp and juice taste extremely sour and slightly bitter, they are not suitable for direct consumption. They should be extracted and processed into beverages, sliced and brewed with black tea, or processed into jams.
Notes：The sour taste can easily cause nausea, and those with gastrointestinal problems should not eat more. Lemon peel can be used for medicinal purposes.
Don't drink too much. Drinking water too fast and too fast is not conducive to the absorption of the human spleen and stomach, and may also cause nausea, vomiting and other discomforts. Although lemon peel is rich in calcium, it is bitter and difficult to soak for a long time, so it should be drunk immediately after soaking. Moreover, lemons should not be stored for a long time, and it is best to use them up at one time.
High blood pressure and diabetes are prone to occur during pregnancy. If you have these symptoms, you should stop drinking honey water and lemon water.
Dish：Lemon juice is often used as a condiment or garnish when cooking Chinese dishes, such as duck with lime.
* Precautions
In particular, there are Sicily Island from afar. Some fruits and fruits of Jennifer are acquired directly small farmers. Locals like to be harvested by mature fruits. Organic fruits do not apply pesticides. We will not return and exchange for personal subjective factors (aroma, size, sweetness, etc.). However, if the fruit has a large range of damage/damage, we are willing to make a return/replacement arrangement on the degree of damage to the fruit. Please contact the shop whatsApp/telephone within 24 hours, and send us photos with problem fruit.
Fate of the founder Jennifer and Hong Kong farewell for food; the fate with Sicily was sprouted by food.
In order to find her own life to Italy, she met Sicily's farmer Guido (now became her husband). He and his father had a large and small organic orchard in Sicily, planting dozens of fruits in the garden. Through farming, they establish a complementary community with like -like people. However, it is not easy to live in Sicily for farming. The problems that the orchard needs to face is endless. It is necessary to prevent the thief in the town and handle bureaucratic miscellaneous taxes, but also in the face of the unremarkable season of the weather, and even the problem of agricultural blacks.
Sicily and other parts of Italy are facing the control of the Agricultural Matrix. They use consumers to be opaque to product supply chain, pirated fraud, cutting corners, and exploitation of workers, etc., which has a great impact on local farmers. To ensure that farmers cannot rely on the government alone, they must establish a community between farmers, establish relations with local and foreign customers, shorten the supply chain distance, increase transparency, allow consumers to understand product sources and production processes, or visit the farm. Understand the cultivation of farmers.
Therefore, they are very attentive to bring Sicily's own agricultural products to Hong Kong. I hope that while sharing the agricultural agriculture in Sicily with everyone, everyone can connect everyone with food.
