How to clean mulberries;
1, tap water is small. If you can eat a small amount of mulberries at once, you can put them in a small basin and turn on the tap. The amount of water should not be too large, because the mulberry skin is too thin and the water impact is too great, which is easy to break through the mature mulberry skin.
2. Soak in light salt water. Mulberry washed with clear water is not recommended to be eaten directly, because clear water only washes away some dirt on the surface and then soaks it in some light salt water for about five minutes. Salt water has a certain bactericidal effect, so it is soaked in salt water.
3. Wash rice with water. Washing mulberry with washed rice mainly uses its alkalinity to detoxify pesticide residues. After washing, you should still wash it with clear water before eating.
How to eat mulberry: eat it directly, soak it in yogurt, mulberry tea, mulberry porridge, mulberry wine and mulberry cake.
