As we all know, there are some small white spots on the surface of Myrica rubra. These little white spots are actually larvae of fruit flies and will not cause harm to human body. Because fruit flies usually feed on honey, fruit and so on. They are cleaner. So in the breeding season, it will be attracted by the fragrance of bayberry and lay eggs on the surface of bayberry. Then the fruit flies are hatched and feed on the pulp. Does that sound disgusting? But I can't. If it grows naturally, the fly will fly away after the larva develops. Drosophila larvae are almost always on Myrica rubra from birth to growth, so there are almost no germs harmful to human body, so eating Myrica rubra will not spoil the stomach. In addition, Drosophila larva is a high-quality protein. Some people really regard this bug as a treasure and think it can improve people's resistance, but I can't stand it and feel a little sick.
There are three common ways to wash bayberry at home, right?
One is the salt water immersion method:
At this time, the concentration of salt water must reach a certain standard to drive the insects away. Generally, at least two spoonfuls of salt should be put in 1 liter of water. The' spoon' here refers to the ordinary spoon used by children when eating. Then soak it in salt water for 20-30 minutes, and then take it out and wash it with clean water.
2, fruit and vegetable cleaning agent:
Now there is this kind of fruit and vegetable cleaner at home, which also has the function of sterilization and neutralization of pesticides. But since it is a cleaner, there is no guarantee that it is completely non-toxic and harmless. After using the cleaning agent, rinse it with clear water to avoid leaving drug residues.
3, stirring method: this should be the simplest, that is, soak the bayberry in water for a few minutes, wait until the bayberry is almost soaked, and then stir in one direction by hand, and the impurities with higher density will be thrown out. Don't stir, otherwise the bayberry will not be fresh.
