Some countries like Turkey and Portugal consume way more fruit per capita than even China does, and I’m sure that’s also due to cultural reasons.

Taiwan has a very similar culture to (some parts of) China, and it consumes slightly more fruit per capita than China does.

Fruit consumption per capita

像土耳其和葡萄牙这样的国家水果的人均消费也比中国要高，我确定也是因为饮食文化的原因，台湾（地区）的饮食文化和中国一些南部地区也非常相似，人均水果消费也比中国要高。 0

I live in Japan and I can assure you that the stereotype is not only true, it is not surprising. Also let''''s just get this out of the way but fish is meat in the broader sense. Let’s specify between red meat and seafood.

我生活在日本，我可以向你保证这种刻板印象是真的，这并不令人感到惊讶。而且鱼肉在广义上也是一种肉。所以来具体说明一下红肉和海鲜的区别。

Anyway, fruit and red meat in Japan is very expensive for a few reasons. As a foreign exchange student I find it nearly impossible to afford buying these lest I can''''t pay my rent. Aside from oranges, Japanese people do not eat much fruit. Because of the cost.

Lately Japanese people have started to consume more red meat and less fish, so Japanese people not eating as much red meat compared to Chinese people and Americans is not really because of cultural reasons it is because it is too expensive here.

不管咋样，水果和红肉在日本还是比较贵的，作为一名外国交换生我发现付完房租确实买不起水果了。除了橘子之外日本人因为价格并不怎么吃水果。最近日本人开始变得多吃红肉而少吃鱼，所以日本人吃红肉没有中国人和美国人多，不是因为文化因素，而是因为太贵了。

JC Hóu我发现付完房租 0

By oranges did you mean mandarin oranges?

Also I thought bananas in Japan are the most affordable kind. Have I been misinformed?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

你说的橘子指的是柑橘吗？我觉得香蕉在日本是挺实惠的水果，我难道被误导了嘛？谢谢你的回复 0

I would think a much, much larger variety & volume of fruits being endemic to China (due to climate) compared to Korea/Japan would explain this if anything. Besides, high fruit consumption is a staple of many of the very poorest countries in the world, lol

我认为气候原因导致中国的水果种类和产量都更高，所以人均消费量比日韩高，世界上许多的穷国也有很高的水果消费，因为把水果当成主食了 0

South Korea and Japan are simply unable to grow too much fruit comparing mainland China and Taiwan due to climate and geography. This is a result why the fruit in mainland China and Taiwan are always fresher than Japan/South Korea.

日本和韩国相比较中国大陆和台湾是因为气候和地理因素不能够种植大量的水果，这也是为什么中国大陆和台湾的水果往往要比日韩的水果新鲜 0

It is probably not in the culture of some countries to eat much fruit and vegetables. You will see that in various food postings in Quora. Fruit posting are sadly lacking. Most vegetable are over cooked and mush.

可能是因为某些国家不存在吃大量水果和蔬菜的文化。你在本站的很多帖子里可以看出这一点。在论坛上很少能看到水果和蔬菜类广告。更多的蔬菜被制作成糊状的添加在各种食品中 0

Russians joke that their only vegetables is Vodka (potatoes) in the winter time.

But there is a lot of truth in it, vegetables and fruits simply don''''t grow that much up north. If you take a look at the geography of these three countries, you will find China has diverse climate while Korea and Japan is mostly up north. I am pretty sure that northern Chinese consume less of those than Southerners, same for Hokkaido vs Okinawa.

俄罗斯人经常开玩笑说他们冬天唯一的蔬菜就是土豆。但这句话有一定道理，蔬菜和水果在北方往往生长缓慢，看看中日韩三个国家的地理情况，你会发现中国的气候具有多样性，然而日本韩国大部分领土都在北方地区，我敢肯定中国北方蔬菜和水果消费量要比南方低，同样的情况发生在北海道和冲绳地区。 0

Its also a fact that the Chinese don''''t like to eat leftovers past about one day. I''''m not sure, but I imagine it stems from a lack of trust in the safety of eating things later than that.

As China''''s economy has improved and the rising middle class has been able to afford it, they are eating vastly more meat than before and more than the typical Asian family in other countries.

中国人不喜欢前几天的剩饭剩菜，我不确定，可能是因为吃剩饭剩菜容易吃坏肚子。现在中国经济发展了，中产阶级崛起吃的起了。比以前吃的更好，也比其他亚洲国家家庭吃得更好

There are two jokes about Korean and Japanese in China.

Do you know what gifts the Koreans will be most gratitude when visiting them? Beef and lamb meat ! They just can not afford much of them or can not gulp meat like we chinese do.

A Japanese celebrity visiting china in summer and when she found a whole watermelon is so cheap in china, she almost wept. The reason is Japanese can not afford a whole watermelon cause it is expensive in Japan.

Although china is not rich in GDP, but the vegetable produces and consume are mostly highest in the world. A average chinese consumes more vegestable than a rich westerner because food tradition and cheap price.

中国有两个关于日本和韩国的笑话。你知道拜访韩国人最棒的礼物是什么吗？是牛肉和羊肉，他们买不起太多的肉类或者不能像我们中国一样经常吃肉。一位日本教授夏天的时候访问中国，看到整个西瓜在中国这么便宜后激动的快哭了，原因是西瓜在日本很贵，一般买不起整个西瓜。虽然我们中国人均gdp并不高，但是人均的蔬菜和水果消费量却名列前茅，一个普通的中国人每年的水果和蔬菜消费量比西方人更高，因为我们物价更便宜还有饮食习惯。 0

I”m not sure about Japan, but when it comes to South Korea, this question and the answer above seem to be based on inaccurate information. I’ve lived in South Korea for over 50 years and have never seen a Korean eat lamb or any kind of mutton, for that matter. When Koreans eat out, they generally go for beef dishes and have wonderful choices when it comes to seafood. Vegetables and many common fruits are not expensive when you consider the average South Korean’s buying power, and in fact, Korean cuisine is heavily based on vegetables.

我不确定日本的情况，但是谈到韩国，这个问题本身和网友们的回答可能并不准确。我在韩国住了50多年，很少见到韩国人吃羊肉，当韩国人外出聚餐经常选择牛排或者一些不错的海鲜。考虑到韩国的购买力水平，蔬菜和水果并不贵，事实上韩国蔬菜（泡菜）消费量相当大。

Reason why it''''s so expensive is because in Japan. Land is a premium there. You won''''t see a watermelon field because of the price of the land.

为什么在日本这么贵呢？高山太多。土地那么贵根本不可能看到西瓜地 0
