Means for solving the problems Even if the flowers are viewed as garden trees as described above, there are few people who have ever eaten them because there is no custom to use the fruits of Tenninka as food. It was never thought that there would be long-term preservation and various usage methods. However, the present inventor, in the course of studying the processing of fruit of Tenninka, learned that there is a long-term storage and utilization,
The present invention has been accomplished through numerous experiments.

[0005] The above problem has been solved.

The present invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the fruit of Tenninka is processed as fruit wine. By making it a fruit wine, it becomes a bright purple fruit wine, which will entertain your eyes and aroma. You can drink as it is or use it for cocktails.

[0007] The above problem has been solved.

[3] The present invention according to [3] is characterized in that the fruit of Tenninka is processed into fruit juice, fruit juice containing pulp or concentrated juice. The juice can be stored for a long time by refrigeration or freezing, and the concentrated juice can reduce the storage place and transportation cost. The juice of Tenninka can be drunk as it is, but because it has a refreshing aroma and a bright and purple color in addition to sweetness,
It is possible to obtain processed foods and drinks and processed coloring materials which can be used as additives, additives, and the like mixed in beverage materials, ice cream, sherbet, jelly, various confectioneries, etc. for the purpose of flavoring and coloring. Also, by paying attention to the vivid purple color of the juice, a processed dye that can be used as a dye for dyeing paper, cloth, and the like can be obtained.
