How to eat loquat

Direct fresh food

1. When loquat is ripe, it is a fruit that can be eaten fresh. However, before eating, it should be washed with clean water to remove all dirt and residual pesticides on its surface. There is also a layer of fine fluff on the surface of loquat, which should also be washed clean.

Soak the white fungus in clean water in advance, wash it and tear it into small pieces. Clean the loquat, take out the flesh and cut it into pieces.

2. After washing the prepared rice, put it in a pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring the water to a boil, and then simmer over medium-low heat for about half an hour.

Take it out and cool it down before eating it directly.
