How to wash mulberries so they are really clean? Teaching you the correct washing method

How to wash mulberries? After buying mulberries, since they have been sitting for a few hours, proper washing is still necessary. Because the surface of mulberries is uneven, a little too much force will break the skin. When washing mulberries, first rinse the surface continuously under running tap water for a few minutes, then soak them in rice washing water or lightly salted water, and after a while rinse them clean with clear water. It is best to keep the soaking time at around 15 minutes.

1. Put a little salt in a bowl.

2. Add a small amount of boiling water to dissolve the salt.

3. Add more cold water.

4. Pour in the mulberries, soak for 5 minutes, then rinse once more with cold water and they are ready to eat.

Selecting mulberries:

When buying, shoppers should note that the better ones have relatively plump, firm, solid berries that are not leaking juice and are fairly upright. Red mulberries are relatively sour, so purple ones are the sweetest, indicating that they are already ripe.

But when eating mulberries, you really need to be careful about your clothes. If they are stained with mulberry juice, washing powder will not get it out. For mulberry juice on cotton clothing, washing with soap will not only fail to remove the stain, but will instead make its color deeper. You should immediately soak the stained area in white vinegar for several minutes, then rinse clean with clear water. In addition, if it is a fresh stain, you can also sprinkle table salt on the stained area, rub it gently with your hand, moisten it with water, and then soak it in a fruit-juice-removing detergent solution and wash it clean.
