The insects in cherry are the larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, which are hatched from the eggs of Drosophila melanogaster in cherry. A fly that feeds on ripe fruits may appear in all kinds of ripe fruits, and can be seen in bayberry, strawberry, grape, mulberry and other aromatic fruits every day.

Because Drosophila flies are parasitic in plant fruits and only move on the fruits, the larvae are in a pollution-free environment from birth to growth, and rarely get sick. Moreover, fruit flies are rich in protein, which is good for health. If cherries can bubble out bugs, there is no need for pesticides, but not every cherry has bugs. Only cherries laid by fruit flies carry insects. Generally, this kind of cherry will have cracks and other phenomena.

Cherry cleaning method

1, salt water immersion

Salt water soaking method is suitable for many fruits that can be eaten directly, including cherries, strawberries, grapes, etc., and the operation is relatively simple. It is mainly to prepare a basin of clean water, and then pour in about 1-2 spoonfuls of edible salt, which is not suitable for injecting too much salt. Soak the cherries for about 15 minutes, take them out and rinse them again.

Step 2 soak in alkaline water

Soaking in alkaline water is also a common method to directly clean edible fruits. You need to prepare some edible alkali first, usually mainly baking soda, put it in clear water, stir it evenly, let it stand for 5 minutes, then pour in cherries and soak it for about 15 minutes. Rinse with clean water and boiled water respectively after taking out.

3. Taomi water

Taomi water is a relatively simple raw material that can be used to clean most vegetables and fruits. The alkaloids contained in it can remove eggs on the surface of peeled fruits and vegetables, and rice grains can absorb dirt and stains without changing the original taste of fruits. After soaking, add some water and you can eat.

4. Preventive measures

Before soaking cherries, it is necessary to pull out the stems so that the soaked water can enter the interior of cherries. Although this may have a little impact on the taste of cherry, it can force out the fruit fly larvae inside the cherry, thoroughly clean up these white bugs and eggs, and make the cherry cleaner.
