The reason why snake skin fruit is difficult to clean is mainly because of its rough appearance and thin skin, which will break when washed. Therefore, many people simply rinse it with water to save trouble and eat it. In fact, snake skin fruit is a herbaceous plant with a relatively low plant and tender and juicy fruit, which makes it vulnerable to pests and diseases and microorganisms. Therefore, pesticides should be used frequently in the process of growing snake skin fruit. These pesticides, fertilizers, and pathogens are easy to adhere to the rough surface of snake skin fruit. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, it is likely to cause diarrhea or even pesticide poisoning. To wash the snake skin fruit, it is best to rinse it continuously with tap water. Flowing water can prevent pesticides from penetrating into the fruit. Don't eat the washed snake skin fruit immediately. It is best to soak it in Canjieqing for 5 minutes. Canjieqing can kill harmful microorganisms remaining on the surface of snake skin fruit; Canjieqing water is alkaline, which can promote the degradation of acidic pesticides. When washing snake skin fruit, be careful not to remove the stem of the snake skin fruit. If the stem-removed snake skin fruit is soaked in water, the residual pesticides will enter the fruit with the water, causing more serious pollution. In addition, do not soak the snake skin fruit with detergent or other cleaning agents, as these substances are difficult to clean and are likely to remain in the fruit, causing secondary pollution.
