In late spring and early summer, there are many fruits at this time, including apples, pears, grapes, and bananas, which are common in all seasons...... There are also lychees, bayberry, and loquats exclusive to this season...... and the mulberries that I want to share with you today. Compared with other fruits, the taste period of mulberries is really short, only these few days a year, after which they are gone, only green leaves are left, as if nothing has happened, and if you want to eat sweet mulberries, you have to wait for another four seasons.
Mulberry is the fruit of mulberry trees, the mainland has attached great importance to agricultural mulberry since ancient times, and the history of mulberry planting in the mainland has been not less than 5,000 years, as early as the new era people began to plant mulberry trees, and eat mulberries. It is not big, but it is full of taste, chewing in the mouth, as if small blisters explode in the mouth, and instantly the juice is filled between the teeth, full of sweet and sour, comparable to the elixir and jade liquid.
This purple-red "little elf" was known as the "folk holy fruit" in ancient times, which is rich in a variety of fatty acids, vitamin C, B vitamins, fructose, anthocyanins, as well as calcium, iron, selenium, manganese and other ions, which helps to soften blood vessels, nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and calm the nerves, black hair and beauty, etc., which is of great benefit to our body.
When it comes to fruits, many people will be more careless and like to eat them directly, especially when they are outside, and they often can't help but taste them when they buy them. In fact, some fruits cannot be eaten directly, I remember that when I was a child, I often picked mulberries and ate them directly, and I always had diarrhea afterwards. Mulberry belongs to the berry class, its growth structure is relatively special, composed of a number of small achenes together, and there are gaps between them, the peel is soft and delicate. Its taste is sweet, not only we like, but also deeply loved by insects and parasites, and its surface is often sticky, easy to attach bacteria, dirty things, so mulberries are actually very "dirty", never eat directly. Otherwise, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. due to hygiene problems.
In addition, the cleaning of mulberries is also a test of patience, simple washing water is equal to white washing, which can not have the effect of cleaning at all, and the dirty things, insect eggs, and parasites still exist. Let's share with you the correct way to wash mulberries, don't eat them raw in the future.
1. First of all, pick the mulberries, pick out the leaves, cut the stems shorter if the stems are longer, and remove the damaged fruits.
2. Then put the mulberries in a large container, add wide water to fully submerge them, then put in a spoonful of edible alkali in turn, stir well and dissolve, then add two large spoons of starch, continue to stir, so that the starch is dissolved in water. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Mulberries are not resistant to preservation, and fruit farmers will inevitably spray preservatives in order to facilitate storage, and they can be removed to a greater extent by fully soaking in alkaline water. Starch has strong adsorption, which can remove impurities and dirt on the surface of mulberries more thoroughly.
3. Then add another spoonful of salt to it, stir a few times until completely dissolved, and continue to let stand for five minutes. The addition of salt can have a sterilizing effect and at the same time drive out the small insects that may exist in it.
4. Then change the water and rinse until there is no more dirt and the water is clear.
As a rare "health fruit", mulberry can not only be eaten directly like a fruit, but also can be used to cook porridge in soup, after such cooking, the nutrients in it are easier to be absorbed and utilized, and after being cooked at high temperature, it is healthier and more reassuring to eat. Let's share with you how to eat a mulberry porridge, which is delicious and nutritious, you might as well try it.
