This is a super simple appetizer that is very suitable for hot summer. It is sweet and sour and has a bitter taste of bitter gourd. It is guaranteed that people who do not like bitter gourd can eat it. Plum contains a lot of fruit acids, which can break down lactic acid, soothe the intestines and stomach, promote digestion, and increase appetite. The iced bitter gourd is also very crunchy. It is not only appetizing, but also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification.
It is hot in summer, and both fruits and vegetables are prone to spoilage. Momordica charantia should be stored at 7-9°C. The refrigeration temperature should not be lower than 6°C, otherwise it will suffer from cold damage. Bitter gourd is easy to lose water and become soft, and the humidity is required to be maintained at 85-95%. It can be packaged with plastic film to prevent water loss. If you are using a Midea smart refrigerator, you don’t have to be so troublesome. The smart i+ system accurately controls the temperature and also has an independent temperature change zone, which makes it easy to put the bitter gourd in the appropriate temperature zone and humidity.
