It is suggested that citizens soak fresh bayberry in salt water for about 15 minutes before eating. This is not to soak out bugs, but to clean the dirty things on bayberry, which is more hygienic and safer to eat. In addition, you should eat bayberry as soon as possible after buying it, because bayberry is a kind of perishable fruit. Deteriorating waxberry that has turned black and rotted may cause discomfort after eating, so don't eat it.
