:: body detox ::

I call these fruit enzyme as body detoxing agent. My eldest sis has been making them for years and I manage to make those in this morning. I have to say I spent more time [1.5 day] of washing + air-drying all the materials.



Our definition : Enzymes are vital to metabolism and food digestion. Consuming homemade fruit [or vegetable] enzymes help our bodies digest, absorb and utilize nutrients while delivering oxygen throughout the body-thereby providing energy.

Here's my eldest sis's fruit enzyme recipe ...

Preparation
+ prepare clean, oil-free and air-dry large jar and utensils



































Direction
+ Use 3/4:1:1 ratio. This means three or four [3/4] type of wash and air-dry fruits


































+ Deseeded, cut and layer all the fruits


































+ Add rock sugar [1] and honey [1] to the top of the fruits


+ Allow breathing room at the top of the jar to allow the process of releasing natural gases
















































Fermentation
+ Shake the jar after a week

Preservation
+ Store at cool dry place

Harvesting
+ Pour the enzyme [liquid] into bottles glass bottles for storing using cloth and funnel after a month time

Consumption
+ Ideally taken twice per day on morning and night before sleep; one tablespoon each time

Reminder :

+ A white membrane atop the membrane is normal. It's caused due to bacteria activity during fermentation
+ Leftover fruit can be used in compost or rubbed on your body during showering
+ The enzyme shouldn't smell moldy
+ Don't use the enzyme in dyed hair
+ Don't wash fruit after cutting
+ Try to use glass container
+ Ensure all the utensils and fruits are air-dry and oil-free cause it will spoil the fermentation. A black membrane atop is a shown of damge enzyme
+ Avoid using white sugar as bleaching agent is added
+ And forgetting a clean and dry hand too


Did I mention ... this is also fun to make and watch ferment. I will upload the enzyme when it is ready for consumption.
