Is bayberry a high-sugar fruit?

Bayberry is not a high-sugar fruit, and its sugar content is moderate. 100 grams of bayberry contains about 12 to 15 grams of sugar, that is, the sugar content is about 12-15%. Compared with other high-sugar fruits, it does not belong to the fruit with a particularly high sugar content. It contains a certain amount of glucose and fructose.

Generally speaking, fruits with a sugar content of more than 20% are called high-sugar fruits, and common ones include durian, mango, grapes, lychees, etc. The sugar content of bayberry is not that high.

The organic acid components, pectin components and other nutrients contained in bayberry are all helpful to the human body, so you can eat bayberry in moderation.

The bayberry is juicy, tender and sweet, and there is no residue in the mouth after eating. Some bayberries of lower quality are dry and astringent, with less juice in the mouth and residue after eating.

How to preserve bayberry in summer

1. Keep in refrigerator

In summer, bayberry can be refrigerated. Put the bayberry in a fresh-keeping bag, seal the bag, and then put it in the refrigerator. It can generally be stored for more than five days. Do not wash it before refrigeration to prevent the bayberry from rotting and deterioration.

2. Dry and store

In the summer, you can preserve bayberries by drying them. First, put the bayberries in a basin and soak them in salt water to remove impurities and sourness. Then pour out the salt water and dry the bayberries in the sun. Finally, put the dried bayberries into a plastic bag.

In the summer, you can also preserve bayberries and make bayberry wine. First, wash the bayberries and drain the moisture from them. Then put them in white wine and seal the container. Soak the bayberries in the sealed container for 20 days before you can eat them.

The value and function of bayberry

1. Protect blood vessels

Bayberry is rich in organic acids and vitamin C. After digestion and absorption by the human body, these ingredients will participate in the metabolism and oxidation-reduction processes in the body, which can purify the blood, increase the permeability of blood vessels and protect blood vessels.

2. Improve digestion

Bayberry has a sweet and sour taste. Eating it can promote gastric acid secretion, stimulate the appetite, increase appetite, promote gastrointestinal motility and help digestion.

Bayberry contains a large amount of vitamin C, while cucumber contains a large amount of vitamin-degrading enzyme. If the two are eaten together, the vitamin C in the bayberry will be destroyed, resulting in nutrient loss and reducing food value.

Note:

Bayberry should not be eaten together with green onions. The nutritional components of the two will produce complex biochemical reactions when they meet, which will have adverse effects on human health.

Bayberry should not be eaten with cucumbers, as cucumbers contain a large amount of vitamin C-degrading enzymes, which will destroy the nutrients in bayberry and reduce its edible value.
