Soak in Saltwater for 5 Minutes Before Eating
When eating yangmei in summer, besides its ability to stop diarrhea, it can also prevent heatstroke. However, it is best to soak yangmei in saltwater before eating to avoid causing diarrhea. This is because yangmei does not have skin and is artificially picked, so it may have dust and bacteria on its surface, which can cause discomfort after consumption. Therefore, when eating yangmei, it is best to soak it in saltwater for 5-10 minutes, then drain the water. This can not only wash away some dirt but also enhance the flavor of yangmei. In addition, do not eat yangmei that has grown moldy, turned black, or spoiled, as it may cause diarrhea. Some people may experience toothache after eating yangmei. In general, no treatment is needed. Chewing tea leaves after eating yangmei can alleviate toothache.
