Have you ever seen this kind of tree? It is called camellia oleifera tree, also known as tea seed tree. Every year when the flowers bloom, the tree is full of fruits, and the flowers are clustered in the middle of the fruits. The bunches of fruits are set off by green leaves, which look like a pregnant mother waiting to give birth. People call it "pregnant with child".
In fact, this is not its fruit, but camellia seeds. Because each flower is pregnant with a seed, it will fall to the ground when it matures, and the locals mistakenly think it is a fruit. This seemingly ordinary plant has extraordinary value. The oil it extracts is called camellia oil, which is known as liquid gold and oriental olive oil. It not only has high nutritional value, but also has high medicinal value. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a thousand kilograms of tea leaves are worth ten thousand kilograms of oil". Such a magical plant, will you also be amazed by it?
