How to clean Yangmei thoroughly

Yangmei can be soaked in light salt water for 5-10 minutes, and then rinsed clean with running water. The surface of Yangmei is uneven and the flesh is delicate. When cleaning, avoid rubbing and damaging the flesh.

Put the waxberries into a basin, add water that has not yet ripened and a spoonful of salt, gently stir to dissolve the salt. The osmotic effect of salt water can help drive away small insects in the fruit crevices and inhibit surface microorganisms. After soaking, remove the waxberries and rinse them under flowing water for more than 30 seconds. The water flow can wash away residual salt and impurities. If individual fruits are found to have signs of decay or insect infestation, they should be discarded directly to avoid contaminating other fruits. After cleaning, it is recommended to use kitchen paper to absorb moisture from the bayberries, or place them in a hollow container for air drying. Wet environments can accelerate spoilage. Yangmei is rich in anthocyanins and organic acids, and should be consumed or refrigerated as soon as possible after cleaning. The recommended daily intake is 10-15 pills, and those with weak gastrointestinal function should reduce their intake. When selecting, choose fruits with deep red color, fresh green stem, and no exudation. The surface white frost is natural fruit powder and does not need to be deliberately washed away. Eating Yangmei with seafood may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and it is recommended to consume it at least two hours apart.
