Features of preparing compote from zherdela
Compote from poles attracts people because of its taste and the presence of nutrients. Most people like these types of rolls more than regular apricots because of the rich taste, which has a characteristic sourness. Such drinks are recommended to be consumed if there is a lack of vitamins in the body, the presence of cardiovascular diseases and if you are on a diet. The resulting drink not only quenches thirst, but also provides a person with a whole list of useful substances and microelements. Before preparing wild apricot compote, you should remember a few rules:
- The kernels of pole seeds contain a toxic substance that can cause severe poisoning. For this reason, it is not recommended to carry out any processing or infusion of seeds for longer than 5 minutes without proper experience and knowledge in this industry.
- Zakatki, which use fruits with whole seeds, should be consumed in the same year, since over time, hydrocyanic acid begins to accumulate in the liquid. It can have a negative impact on human health.
- For overweight people, it is recommended not to prepare winter fruits with a high sugar content - it is better to freeze the fruits and periodically boil the required amount of compote.
- The greatest amount of useful substances in the seaming will be if you peel the apricots and remove the pits.
- To prepare compote, you need to use only ripe, but not overripe fruits, since the latter produces a drink that is cloudy and has a bitter aftertaste.
