Around the Dragon Boat Festival, golden and round loquats are available. Since ancient times, loquats have been regarded as rare fruits. In the Western Han Dynasty, they were presented as tribute to the imperial court as rare fruits. The "Collection of Flowers" says: "Loquats are shaded in autumn, bloom in winter, bear fruit in spring, and are hot in summer. They have the vitality of all four seasons. There is no other fruit like them." It is these unique conditions that determine its extraordinary quality.

Loquats are good-looking and delicious, and they are also rich in nutrition. According to analysis, their main ingredients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, pectin, carotene, tannins, malic acid, citric acid, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, B, and C. The content of carotene and phosphorus in them is higher than that in lychees, pineapples, bananas, and oranges. Loquats are cool in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, quenching thirst, and soothing the stomach.

Every 100 grams of loquat contains 0.4 grams of protein, 7 grams of carbohydrates, 0.8 grams of crude fiber, 22 milligrams of calcium, 0.3 grams of iron, 36 milligrams of phosphorus, and rich vitamin B1 and vitamin C.
