One rinses with a lot of running water

This is the easiest method, and one of the most wasteful of water, which is to keep rinsing with running water on the faucet. Put the prunes in a basin, turn on the faucet and keep rinsing, and keep stirring and scrubbing with your hands.

The agitation creates a centrifugal force, like a washing machine, to shake off all the dust and impurities on the surface of the prunes, but it takes a long time to rinse them, at least 15 minutes, so it is a great waste of water and very tiring. If you find it troublesome, you can try the following 2 methods.

Two salt and water soaking

Soaking in salt water is the most common method, can be used to clean many vegetables and fruits, because salt water can disinfect and sterilize, so it is excellent to use it to soak prunes, note that it must be a high concentration of salt water.

Prepare a small pot of water, add the right amount of salt, use chopsticks to stir evenly, so that all the salt is dissolved in the water, pour into the prunes and stir for a while, and then soak for half an hour. The high concentration of salt water can effectively disinfect and sterilize, the small insects will run out by themselves when stimulated, and can be eaten after soaking and rinsing with clean water.

Even if you put it in the freezer to save it, you should use the salt water to get rid of the bugs first, if the bugs are frozen to death, they can't run out.
