How to choose and eat bayberry

1. How to choose

1. Observe the appearance: When selecting bayberry, you should first observe it with your eyes, look at the color, choose mature bayberry that is bright red, and avoid dark red bayberry. Choose fruits that are dry, plump, and have round thorns on the outside. Such fruits are very sweet and have a very soft texture.

2. Smell: In addition to observing directly with your eyes, you can also smell the smell and choose fruits that smell good and have a light fragrance. This means they are ripe and will taste much better. Do not choose those without odor, which means they are not mature, and do not choose those with a faint smell of wine, which means they have been stored improperly or for too long.

3. Pinch: You can pinch the surface of the bayberry with your hand and judge by the feel. If it feels hard, it means it is not fully ripe. If it feels soft, it proves that it is ripe. If it feels particularly soft, it proves that it is about to deteriorate and it is not recommended to buy it.

4. Taste: If you can taste it, taste it directly and buy the ones that taste good.

2. How to eat
