Watermelon

Absolutely, I can’t find another fruit to answer this question

China is The Watermelon-loving Empire

Watermelon is also very common in Southeast Asia. I often see watermelons when I go to Thailand and Vietnam.

But no country likes to eat watermelon as much as the Chinese do

I have been to different cities in China in different seasons, and they eat watermelon all the time. In summer and winter, watermelon is always an indispensable fruit in hotels. In supermarkets, watermelon is always placed in the most conspicuous position. There are different varieties of watermelons in China. At least 5 kinds of watermelons are sold in the same store, unlike here where there is often only one kind.

“Watermelon juice” is always the most popular variety in cold drink shops, and girls will hold a cup of cut watermelon when shopping.

Sometimes I see a truck full of watermelons passing by on the road, and I don’t know where they get so many watermelons.

When I visited Chengdu in the summer, I saw street vendors selling watermelons for “1 yuan 500g”, which is a very low price, about 28 cents per kilogram. Because watermelons are quite cheap in China, they not only eat watermelons themselves, but also feed them to pigs, ducks and pets.

I was very curious about the Chinese preference for watermelon, so I looked up the data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and got an amazing fact:

Global watermelon production in 2021:

China: 61 million tons

Turkey: 3.4 million tons

India: 3.2 million tons

Brazil: 2.1 million tons

Algeria: 2 million tons

The Chinese produce 70% of the world’s watermelons!

Do you think they export them? No, they are not satisfied

They also mport about 9 million tons of watermelons every year

Conclusion: China produces 73.6% of the world’s watermelons and eats 84.5% of the world’s watermelons

西瓜

当然，我找不到其他水果来回答这个问题

中国是个吃瓜帝国

西瓜在东南亚也很常见，我去泰国、越南的时候经常看到西瓜。

但没有哪个国家像中国人一样喜欢吃西瓜

我去过中国不同季节的不同城市，他们无时无刻不在吃西瓜。夏天和冬天，西瓜总是酒店里必不可少的水果。超市里，西瓜总是摆在最显眼的位置。中国的西瓜品种繁多，一家店里至少有5种西瓜出售，不像这里往往只有一种。

“西瓜汁”永远是冷饮店里最受欢迎的品种，女生逛街时也会手捧一杯切开的西瓜。

有时我在路上会看到一辆辆装满西瓜的卡车驶过，不知道他们从哪里弄来这么多西瓜。

夏天去成都的时候，看到街头小贩卖西瓜“1元500克”，这个价格很低，大概每公斤28美分。因为西瓜在中国相当便宜，所以他们不仅自己吃西瓜，还把西瓜喂猪、鸭和宠物。

我对中国人对西瓜的喜爱非常好奇，于是我查阅了联合国粮食及农业组织的数据，得到了一个惊人的事实：

2021年全球西瓜产量：

中国：6100万吨

土耳其：340万吨

印度：320万吨

巴西：210万吨

阿尔及利亚：200万吨

中国生产了全世界70%的西瓜！

你认为他们会出口吗？不，他们依然不满意

他们每年还进口约900万吨西瓜

结论：中国生产了全球73.6%的西瓜，也吃掉了全球84.5%的西瓜

@复更陈

作为吃瓜群众，这是非常好的答案。

@Tungku Lee

ice cold water melon juice is the best.. must have a bit of sandy texture..

冰镇西瓜汁是最好的……必须有一点沙沙的口感……

@Arif Gatot Kusumajaya

I remember my dad smashing a watermelon for grandpa’s funeral. Probably several years form now I have to do that for his funeral.

我记得我爸爸在爷爷的葬礼上砸碎了一个西瓜。可能几年后我也得在他葬礼上这样做。

@Michelle T

What is the symbolism of that action?

这个动作有什么象征意义？

@Jhon Halim

I’ve done it at both my parents’ funerals

unforgettable sad memories

我在我父母的葬礼上都做过这件事，难忘的悲伤回忆。

@Evan Mao

On a per capita basis, watermelon is still consumed more by Iranians, Uzbeks, and Turks.

This makes sense, given watermelons originated in Central Asia. Even the Chinese name for it, xigua, literally translated as west melon, clearly shows its foreign origins

按人均计算，伊朗人、乌兹别克人和土耳其人仍然吃更多的西瓜。这是有道理的，因为西瓜起源于中亚。甚至它在中文中的名字“西瓜”，字面翻译为“西方的瓜”，明显显示了它的外国起源。

@Fillip Fog

They meant xinjiang part of China. Also where marijuana plant is native. Thus, Cannabis is also originally from China.

Cannabis originated in China, genetic analysis reveals

Cannabis, the source of marijuana, originated in northwest China, where local strains are most like the original strain of cannabis cultivated more than 12,000 years ago.

他们指的是中国的新疆部分。大麻植物也是原产于此。因此，大麻最早也是来自中国。基因分析显示，大麻起源于中国。大麻草，作为大麻的来源，起源于中国西北部，当地的品种与12,000多年前栽培的原始大麻品种最为相似。

You are right, xinjiang is a part of Central Asia. Plants don’t care about political boundaries though, so Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. have equal claims as the centre of origin for watermelons, muskmelons, apples, pears, and yes, cannabis as well. The peoples that domesticated these plants are the I…

你说得对，新疆是中亚的一部分。植物不在乎政治边界，因此哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦等国也同样可以宣称是西瓜、甜瓜、苹果、梨以及大麻的起源中心。这些植物是由驯化它们的人民所发现的

@Luo Roger

吃瓜群众路过，上海这两天本地产瓜已经低于2元/500克。

@Toolmaker

The watermelons from xinjiang are amazing…

新疆的西瓜非常棒……

@Jwp

It is very expensive for typical Chinese who earn 400usd per month average. The Durian costs about 30~100usd per fruit

对于平均月收入400美元的普通中国人来说，榴莲非常贵。每个榴莲的价格约为30到100美元。

@Steven Tseng

and often spray some salt on it to make it taste even sweeter

经常撒上一些盐，使它尝起来更甜。

@Random Mandalorian

I honestly thought durian considering the craze here in Malaysia when them guys import it

老实说，我以为是榴莲，考虑到他们在马来西亚进口榴莲时的狂热。

@Davis Owen

The number of people who like durian in China is not very large, and it is relatively more expensive than watermelon, so few people buy durian. However, based on China’s huge population base, the relative import volume is therefore quite significant!

中国喜欢榴莲的人不多，且它比西瓜相对更贵，所以很少有人买榴莲。然而，基于中国庞大的人口基数，榴莲的进口量相对还是相当可观的！

@Nadeem Usmani

What you wish more when come home in a sultry summer afternoon,from outside—definately watermelon.Fortunately ,this fruit is cheap in most parts of the world but does not have the same status as some others fruits has ,Mango ,Apple,grapes—

在闷热的夏日下午从外面回家时，你最想要什么——当然是西瓜。幸运的是，这种水果在世界大部分地区都很便宜，但它的地位不像芒果、苹果、葡萄等水果。

@N L

Do you know why Americans don’t like watermelon?

Because American watermelons are pretty bad. When I visited Asia, I found that watermelons in Asia are much more delicious.

知道美国人为什么不喜欢吃西瓜吗？

因为美国的西瓜相当难吃，我访问亚洲时，发现亚洲的西瓜要好吃得多
