Be careful with this fruit.A lady in Kunming China bought 2 kilo of yang-mei (can be bought in Singapore when in season) from a fruit vendor who informed her they are freshly picked. After returning home, she put a portion of the fruit in a bowl of salt water and let it soaked while she watched TV. Some time later, she checked the fruit and was suprised to see something wriggling in the bowl of water. She felt suspicious and decide to experiment by soaking the brightly red unsoaked ones with various level of salted water.

我家买到过这样的杨梅，泡了盐水后冒出来很多虫，吓了一跳！最后只能全扔了，都是很大很紫的那种，ＭＳ很好吃，但真的是没有胆子尝，可惜了的．
