Japanese people use a type of “miracle water” to revive and rejuvenate food, making it fresher, cleaner, and longer-lasting. And you know what? Many people were surprised to learn that this miracle water is simply clean water heated to 50 degrees Celsius. According to Mr. Kazumasa Hirayama, the representative of the Cooking Technology Research Association, washing food in warm water at 50 degrees Celsius will make withered food come back to life.
Dellis Restaurant in Japan has applied this method and achieved surprising results. The restaurant representative confirmed to Yahoo Japan that vegetables will become fresh again after just 3 to 5 minutes of washing in 50-degree Celsius water. When washed with water at this temperature, the cell membranes of green vegetables open up to let the water penetrate, providing moisture for the vegetables to regain their freshness. As for fruits and root vegetables, washing them in 50-degree Celsius water helps them ripen faster and become sweeter in just 2 to 3 days when stored in the refrigerator.

For protein-rich foods such as meat and fish, oxidized fats will be removed, making the food taste better and stay fresh longer. Thanks to 50-degree Celsius water, any dirt and even small insects clinging to the food will be washed away more effectively and easily.
Especially for seafood such as clams, mussels, and snails, 50-degree Celsius water is the secret to cleaning out the sand. This is a method that Japanese people often use because after just 10 minutes of soaking in 50-degree Celsius water, clams, mussels, and snails will be sand-free and incredibly fresh. But that’s not the only use of 50-degree Celsius water, did you know that it’s also the ideal temperature for defrosting frozen foods such as beef, pork, and chicken?

How can you get 50-degree Celsius water to wash vegetables and meat? It’s simple, just mix regular water with boiling water at a 1:1 ratio, and you’ll have 50-degree Celsius water. Remember that the water temperature should not go below 43 degrees Celsius, as that’s when bacteria can develop. So, you should regularly check the water temperature and replace it with fresh water if the temperature has dropped below.
