What should I do if fruits are too cold to eat in winter?
Fruits can be too cold to eat during winter, so they may be treated by soaking in warm water, steaming or heating, or sun exposure. However, it is recommended to consume fruit in moderation and avoid those with excessively cooling properties. Specific methods are as follows:
1. Soaking in Warm Water
After washing the fruit thoroughly, soak it in slightly warm water to raise the temperature of the flesh, thereby reducing irritation to teeth and the digestive tract.
2. Steaming or Heating
Fruits that maintain good texture after heating, such as yellow peaches and pears, can be steamed or heated before consumption.
3. Sun Exposure
Small-sized fruits with thin skins, such as sugar tangerines and small persimmons, can be placed on sunny balconies or windowsills for moderate sun exposure before eating.
In addition, fruits can also be consumed in the form of dried fruit preserves; however, due to their high sugar content, it is advisable to limit intake.
