Bayberry fruit has a unique flavor, sweet and sour, rich nutritional value, has an important medical and health care effect on the human body, and is a fresh fruit favored by consumers in early summer. Bayberry contains a variety of organic acids, vitamin C content is also very rich, with a strong antioxidant and anti-aging effect. The health care effect of Yangmei was first recorded in the Northern Wei Dynasty's Qi Min Zhi Shu. Modern biology and medicine have further proved that bayberry has a variety of effects such as digestion, heat dissipation, cold protection, antidiarrhea, diuresis, thirst, stomach and intestines, and cancer prevention.

Some consumers found that the newly bought baybutus was put in the basin, and then poured water into the basin to cover all the bayberry, and then poured salt into the basin, soaking the bayberry in brine for about 20 minutes. So what are the little white worms on the bayberry? In fact, the small white insects hidden inside the bayberry are the larvae of fruit flies. Generally during the breeding season, they are attracted by the sweet smell of bayberry and thus lay eggs on the surface of bayberry.

Fruit flies usually eat honey, fruits, etc., which are relatively clean in themselves, and it is still a high-quality protein, containing antibacterial peptides, and some people will treat this bug as a treasure. It can also be seen that the reason why this small insect is harmless, that is, from the time the fruit fly larvae are born to the time it grows, it will always be in the bayberry, using the flesh of the bayberry as food, so it is basically unpolluted. After naturally growing up, the fruit flies also fly away. Therefore, the bayberry with white insects is harmless to eat, and it will not produce germs that are not good for the human body, and you can eat it with confidence.

There are bugs in the arbutus fruit not because they are not fresh, fresh arbutus will also bubble out of bugs after being soaked in salt water, and the larger the bayberry because of its high sweetness, the easier it is to become a target. In a sense, the bubble of insects can indicate that there are very few pesticide residues in the pulp of the bayberry, or even no pesticides.
