So, let's move on! The ancients once recorded that "after the lychee is picked, the color changes one day, the fragrance changes in the second day, the taste changes in three days, and the color and fragrance are lost in four days."
Let's talk about the knowledge of buying lychees:
1. Look at the color
When we buy lychees, we can first look at the color of the lychee appearance, fresh lychees from the appearance of the color is not very bright, but dark red. If the color of the lychee skin is relatively green, then it means that the lychee is not fully ripe. Therefore, it is not recommended that you buy lychees with a relatively green appearance.
2. Look at the head of the lychee and the pimples on the surface
If the head of the lychee is relatively pointed, the lumps on the surface are very dense, and the surface of the lumps is convex, indicating that the lychees are not mature enough. If the head of the lychee is relatively round, the surface of the pimple is uniform, and it is smooth to the touch, it is a mature lychee. Lychees are generally larger, rounder in shape, more symmetrical and of better quality.
3. See if there are dark spots and worm eyes on the epidermis
When selecting lychees, observe whether the skin of the lychees has insect eyes and damage. Don't buy lychees with insect eyes. When we select, we will also find that some lychees have many dark spots on the skin. Such dark spots are formed only when the lychees are stored improperly during transportation and placed for a long time. If there are dark spots on the lychee, it proves that the lychee is no longer fresh and it is not recommended to buy.
4. Look at the fruit handle
The freshness of the lychee can also be seen from the stalk of the lychee, if the stalk of the lychee is relatively hard, the lychee is relatively fresh. If the stalk is soft, it proves that the lychee has been stored for a long time and is no longer fresh.
5. Smell the smell
When buying lychees, we can pick up the lychees and smell the lychees, if there is a fresh fruity aroma, it is a relatively fresh lychee. If it smells sour, or other odors, it means that the lychee is not fresh anymore and should not be bought.
6. Pinch it
Good lychees have a moderately soft and hard texture, elastic when pinched, tight and thick flesh, and a smaller core. If the pinch is very soft, the elasticity is poor, the core is large, and the gap between the flesh and the core is large, it is a defective product and should not be purchased.
In fact, bugs also like lychees, and also like to leave a little "mark" after eating, please continue to see lychees have been plagued by insects, what is it like?
After peeling the lychee, the black lychee is worm, and the white is clean! Lychees with insects, of course, some people have made detailed instructions, not all black lychee sprigs are bugs.
In this regard, health experts said that it is not the lychee that grows bugs, but the bugs that burrow into the lychee fruit. This insect is called lychee moth, is a major pest of lychee, the harm of ti borer is to affect the edible value of lychee, but the worm itself is non-toxic,
There is no need to worry about any adverse reactions after accidental ingestion.
However, because the insects on the lychee and their feces are not disinfected and unhygienic, it is necessary to be cautious when eating.
Want to eat more, but afraid of fire, in teaching everyone a trick, how can lychee not eat fire? See if the foodies have the same knowledge as the ones described below?
1. Soak in brine
The shell of the lychee will be peeled off, but do not peel off the white film, rinsed clean, soaked in 30% brine, soaked for an hour to take out, peel off the white film can be eaten, after soaking in brine, the fire of the lychee is greatly reduced. If you soak a lot of lychees at one time, if you want to keep them for a longer time, you can directly peel off the white film together, and then soak the pulp in light salt water, soak it for an hour, and then take it out and put it in the crisper box and put it in the freezer layer of the refrigerator.
2. Eat with fruit film
When we peel the lychee shell, there is a thin white film on the flesh, a little astringent taste, generally we peel it off, but if you want to prevent the fire, it is recommended to eat the film together, and then after eating the lychee, the white stalk part of the flesh that is recessed into the lychee peduncle is also eaten together, which can also prevent the fire.
3. Pair with fire-lowering food
Before eating lychees, you can drink salt water or summer dry grass herbal tea, winter melon soup, mung bean soup and other foods that reduce the fire, which can effectively prevent fire. Or drink it with 20 to 30 grams of raw ground to cook lean meat or pork bone broth, which can effectively prevent lychee disease.
4. Eat after freezing
How can lychees not be eaten on fire? The simplest way is to freeze the lychee and then eat it, put the lychee in ice water or sink in a well or put in a cold spring (water), and eat it overnight, which can reduce the fire, and can dissolve the dry gas and replenish the yin.
