How do the insects in Yangmei soak out

The insects in Yangmei can be soaked in salt water. Soak fresh waxberries in salt water with a concentration of 3% -5% for 10-15 minutes, and fruit fly larvae will surface due to changes in osmotic pressure. The surface of Yangmei fruit may have attached fruit fly eggs or larvae, and these insects prefer fruits with high sweetness and thin skin to lay eggs. When soaking in salt water, the salt concentration should be moderate. If it is too high, it will cause the flesh to dehydrate and become salty, while if it is too low, the deworming effect will be poor. Slight agitation during soaking can help separate the insect body, and residual salt should be rinsed with running water after completion. If a large number of worms are found, they can be soaked again, but it should be noted that Yangmei is prone to softening and deterioration after prolonged soaking.

When purchasing Yangmei in daily life, you can observe whether the fruit stem is fresh and whether the skin is damaged. When storing, avoid squeezing and consume as soon as possible. For people who are particularly sensitive to insect residues, it is recommended to choose prepackaged products that have undergone professional disinfection and sterilization treatment, or use fruit and vegetable cleaning agents to assist in cleaning before eating. Yangmei is rich in organic acids and anthocyanins. Moderate consumption can help with antioxidant properties, but those with weaker gastrointestinal function need to control their intake.
