Fruit Enzyme - DIY

Easy Steps To Make Fruit Enzyme Do-It-Yourself

1. Materials & Tools:

Fresh fruits
Glass container with cover
Knife and cutting board
Brown sugar, rock sugar or honey


2. Clean Fruits & Type of Fruits

Rinse and air dry fruits. Fruits that are not thoroughly cleaned will cause enzyme to turn moldy.
Fruits may soaked in diluted vinegar for 10 minutes to remove traces of pesticides. Do not soak fruits in salt water as salt water will cause pesticide to penetrate into the fruits.
The skin of fruits may be used if desired. However, fruits with rough/thick skin surface such as pineapple, orange, kiwi, banana must be removed. After fruits are sliced, avoid rinsing fruits to prevent contamination and nutrients being washed away. Peeled bananas should be soaked in lemon juice or cut with a knife smeared with lemon juice to avoid color change.


3. Clean Tools

Clean container and tools (knife and cutting board) using soap. Sterilize with hot water. Allow to air dry. Do not use hair-dryer to blow dry as it may contaminate the container and tools.


4. Fruit:Sugar Ratio

Use a 3:1 ratio (3 parts of fruits and 1 part of sugar/honey). Place the 1st portion of fruits into the container, followed by 1/3 layer of sugar/honey. Repeat the same process in sequence, alternating fruit and sugar. Ensure the final layer is sugar/honey. Cover the container with a lid and keep in a cool, dry place for 2 weeks.


5. Fermentation

2 weeks.
Shake the container every 3-4 days for the first 2 weeks for an even fermentation.
If you plan to use the enzyme for chronic illness, allow the fruits to ferment for at least 1 month to remove any traces of alcohol present, and to bring the pH level to 4-5.


6. Harvesting & Storing

Pour the enzyme into glass bottles using funnel/cheesecloth and refrigerate to maintain freshness. Consume enzyme within 1 month.


7. Consuming

Enzyme residue with fruits and vegetables can also be consumed. Enzyme should ideally be taken 1 hour before or after meals. Place a tablespoon of enzyme under the tongue and swallow slowly. This will stimulate the nerves and promote blood circulation.
For those with stomach ulcer, dilute the enzyme with water and consume after meals.

** I have tried many times ~ it taste good and importantly is good for health. Pictures taken from my experience of making the enzyme.

** This recipe didn't mention about lemon citrus on every layer but other website did. You can put the slice lemon on each layer after the fruits you like and then brown sugar/honey.
