The correct way to eat wax apple: Does it need to be peeled?

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Wax apple does not need to be peeled; eating it with the skin gives a crisper texture. Because its base easily traps dirt, it must be washed clean before eating. For soaking, you can choose either plain water soaking or alkaline water washing. There are various ways to eat it: you can wash it and eat it directly, mix it with other cooked foods, or make candied fruit.

1. No need to peel

Wax apple is a fruit eaten with the skin, and it can also be used in cooking as an ingredient in dishes. Eaten with the skin, wax apple has a crisper texture, is juicy and tasty, and is cool and thirst-quenching, but it must be washed clean before eating because its base easily traps dirt.

2. Washing methods

1. Soaking method: First rinse with clean water, then fill a basin with water and soak for 10-15 minutes.

2. Alkaline water soaking: Put a small amount of baking soda or washing soda into a basin filled with water, place it in the basin and soak for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with clean water and it is ready to eat.

3. Eating methods

1. Eat directly: After washing as above, eat it directly with the skin.

2. Mixed eating: Cut the wax apple in half, and place cooked sesame seeds, peanuts, and other nuts on top of the wax apple.

3. Making candied fruit: After washing clean, remove the head and tail, cut into cubes, add granulated sugar and lemon juice and marinate for half an hour. Put it in the refrigerator to chill, and it is ready to eat once taken out.
