Watermelon Seeds —A Humble yet
Complex Snack
Watermelon seeds frequently appear at teas with
friends in the living room and even in holiday gifts. It's a familiar snack,
but how much do you really know about getting the seeds from the watermelon
to the package at the store?
Watermelon seeds don't come from just any watermelon.
The kind with white flesh is best because they have the most seeds. Once the
seeds are separated from the flesh, workers have to wash away the mucus covering
the seeds' surface. To do this, the raw seeds need to soak for a whole day in the
kind of edible lime used in making tofu.
愈平凡愈不簡單——小瓜子大學問
瓜子經常出現在與朋友在客廳茶聚時，甚至在節慶禮品中。這是個為人熟知的零嘴，但你對從西瓜取出種子到變成店內包裝瓜子的過程到底了解多少呢？
並非任何西瓜子都能製成瓜子。有白色果肉的那種最適合，因為它們的種子最多。一旦種子自果肉分離，工人必須洗去包覆在種子表面的黏液。為了做到這點，未經處理的種子需在做豆腐用的那種食用石灰中浸泡一整天。  |
