Dried ebony is a common food in life, because it has the effects of stopping vomiting, astringing intestines, stopping diarrhea, relieving cough and quenching thirst, so it is often used in life, and soaking ebony in wine is one of the most common methods. Here, I will share the skills of making wine in ebony, hoping to help everyone.

Whether fresh or dried ebony is used for brewing, it really needs fumigation and drying. However, because there are fake ebony (bitter plum, dried apricot, etc. ) There are some ebony with a particularly strong charcoal smell on the market, so you can cover up its original flavor in this way. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy ebony with a particularly strong charcoal smell, so as not to buy counterfeit products. (Doesn't mean the smell of charcoal is fake ebony. ) to make authentic sour plum soup, of course, you should use real ebony. Therefore, it is not recommended to purchase dark plums with excessive charcoal flavor to make sour plum soup. On the other hand, it is considered to avoid the "traditional Chinese medicine flavor" being too strong to affect the taste. If it is used as medicine and confirmed to be genuine ebony, the "charcoal smell" does not matter seriously.

How to remove the smoky smell of dried ebony? Dark plum smells smoky, which is actually related to the processing method of dark plum as a traditional Chinese medicine formula. Because ebony is dried with ebony during processing, ebony will have a strong smoky smell. When making sour plum soup, if you don't remove the smoky smell from the dark plum, the sour plum soup will have a heavy smoky smell. If you want to make sour plum soup without smoky smell, you must find a way to get rid of the smoky smell on the dark plum. The best way is to soak in water for more than two hours first, which can remove a lot of smoke. The soaked ebony can be cooked with other ingredients to make sour plum soup, which has no smoky smell.

Is there a shelf life for dried plums? All foods have a shelf life, only the length of time. Expired food is inedible. Dried ebony also has a shelf life, and you can't eat it after the shelf life.

Can dried skin of ebony be eaten if it is green? Ebony is black, so it is called ebony as the name suggests. How does ebony turn green after being put into water? It is because the fruit is picked or dropped before ripening, then dyed with pigment, and the pigment falls off after soaking in water, so the color changes, or the green plum can form the color of dark plum after soaking in salt water in the sun at night.
