How to eat August melons?
1. I bought the August melon with soft skin. After removing the plastic wrap, use a spoon to break the peel and pick out the pulp and put it on a plate to enjoy it slowly. (Can be mixed with honey or brown sugar for better health care. ) you can eat it with meat and seeds, which is more conducive to digestion (don't chew seeds, it is very bitter). You can also spit out the seeds, wash them and dry them to make seeds, or extract oil, or use them as medicine. Pharyngolaryngitis, gastritis, enteritis and diarrhea can be cured by chewing three tablets.
2. The skin of the bought August melon is not soft. Please pack it in cartons, and don't break the plastic wrap! Store it indoors in a dark place and let it mature naturally. You can take it out when the skin becomes soft. (If the skin is not soft or cracked, but the skin is not soft, it means that the pulp is not fully cooked. Please don't eat in a hurry, so as not to affect the taste. Store it for a few more days until the skin is soft and the pulp is fully cooked. The softer the skin, the more ripe the pulp, the sweeter the taste and the stronger the honey flavor. )
3. If it needs to be stored in large quantities, wrap the soft skin in a food fresh-keeping bag and put it in the refrigerator (the temperature is controlled at 3-8 degrees) for 40-60 days. Pick it up every few days and take it out to eat.
4. If a large quantity needs to be preserved for a long time, wrap the soft and ripe peel in a food fresh-keeping bag and put it in the freezer for many years (the temperature is controlled below -5 degrees, and don't open the refrigerator when there is a power failure! Take it out when you need it, let it thaw naturally and eat it in time. Although the skin is soft and discolored with cold, the flesh is smoother and sweeter, the honey taste is stronger, and the taste and quality are improving.
5. After eating the pulp, wash the peel with clear water, cut it into shreds, dry it in the sun or dry it (no fireworks at a temperature not higher than 70 degrees) and store it in a sealed iron box for health tea. It tastes good, slightly sweet and extremely resistant to impact. One cup in summer and autumn, one cup in winter and one cup in spring. After several times of brewing, the tea fragrance is still rich. The nutritional value is higher than pulp, and the health care effect is better than green tea. It can eliminate toxins in the body, enhance immunity, prevent cancer and diseases, and eliminate skin wrinkles and pigmentation. It is the king of tea. Brewing with honey or brown sugar has better health care effect (diabetics are not allowed to add brown sugar! )。 Switch from drinking green tea to drinking August melon tea, and your stomach is healthy.
