Yangmei must be cleaned before eating. If it is just picked, and there is no pesticide residue in Yangmei, it will not cause too much harm to the body if it is not cleaned. However, it is generally recommended to clean the bayberry bought from the supermarket, because the bayberry bought from the supermarket will have pesticide residues and needs to be thoroughly cleaned before it can be eaten. It will be cleaner to add some salt when cleaning.

Myrica rubra is moderately sweet and sour, and can be processed into dried fruits and preserves. The key to eating bayberry is to clean it. It needs to be soaked in salt and washed clean. After washing, it can be eaten directly, or made into bayberry sauce, bayberry wine, bayberry tea and dried bayberry. You can also eat it with salt and soy sauce.

Selection method of bayberry:

1. Choose red or crimson bayberry with uniform color to buy. At the same time, we can carry a piece of paper and paper towel with us, and wipe it with paper towel when picking bayberry. If the paper towel is easily dyed red, it is probably dyed by bayberry, so be careful when buying it.

2. When buying Yangmei, we cannot avoid touching Yangmei and feeling it. First of all, choose waxberry with full head and round surface. If Yangmei feels hard, it means that Yangmei is not fully mature and tastes sour.

3. Fresh and ripe bayberry will give off a faint fragrance. You can smell it without putting it in front of your nose. If the bayberry you meet has no taste, it means it is not mature yet. In addition, if it gives off a faint smell of wine, don't buy it, which means that it will inevitably rot if it is stored for a long time
