Try the fruit used has an acidic or neutral taste such as grapes, apples, star fruit, dragon fruit, lime, lemon, cucumber, orange, mango, strawberry. Do not forget to make sure the condition of the fruit must be fresh and optimally ripe, because many nutrients have not been fully formed as long as the fruit is not yet ripe.
