Washing palm fruit is not only done using regular water, but also rice washing water. After washing, put the palm fruit into the first rice washing water. Rub it for a while, then let it sit for 2 hours. Once soaked, squeeze the palm fruit so that the slime is further removed. Then drain and wash again twice with clean water so that the palm fruit is really dry.

In addition to removing mucus, the rice washing water can help eliminate the sour smell that sticks strongly to the palm fruit. So the longer it is soaked, the sour smell will usually disappear and the palm fruit will become more dry. If so, the palm fruit is ready to be processed into various delicious food menus.
