Because of the special structure of Myrica rubra, if it is not washed, there may be many bacteria in the pulp, which will lead to direct consumption of unwashed Myrica rubra, causing gastrointestinal infection and diarrhea.

and because of its excellent appearance, bayberry sold in many supermarkets is sprayed with pesticides to prevent insect bites and bird damage. Therefore, if Myrica rubra is eaten directly without washing, it is likely to cause pesticide residue poisoning.

cleaning method of bayberry

salt water soaking is one of the most popular cleaning methods of bayberry. Using the bactericidal effect of salt, Myrica rubra can force out bugs and other dirty things. Generally, bayberry needs to be soaked in salt water for half an hour. If you want to eat clean bayberry quickly, you can also soak it in slightly warmer salt water, which will not affect the taste of bayberry.

But it should be noted that Myrica rubra must be soaked in high-concentration salt water, and don't be stingy when sprinkling salt. If you are worried that the red bayberry you eat has gone bad, you can rinse it several times in the future.
