How to keep fruits fresh

Eating more fruits and vegetables is very beneficial to our health. It can help people have smooth bowel movements and achieve the effect of detoxification. As for vegetables, you can basically go to the street and buy enough for one meal. Fruits are harder to estimate, so you will buy more. Although we have refrigerators now, not every kind of fruit can be preserved in the refrigerator. Today I will teach you how to keep several kinds of fruits fresh.

1. Physical cooling method

For products with a short shelf life, easy to spoil, and sensitive to temperature, we can use physical cooling methods to extend their shelf life. We can use cold storage or freezers to lower the temperature to achieve the preservation effect. Fruits such as lychees and bayberries are afraid of water loss, but they also need to breathe. Therefore, they can be wrapped in paper and then put into a plastic bag. The plastic bag prevents the refrigerator from absorbing moisture from the fruit, while the paper helps absorb moisture and prevents condensation from breeding bacteria and mold. Remember to tie the opening of the plastic bag slightly without tying it tightly. Keep it breathable to prevent the fruit from getting spoiled.

2. Fresh-keeping bag method

Some fruits that are afraid of "cold" and air, such as bananas, cannot be kept fresh at low temperatures. If they are placed in the refrigerator, they will easily turn black. We can wrap them in plastic bags, put them in cartons, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place to extend their shelf life.

3. Use plastic wrap to keep fresh

For fruits that are easy to keep fresh, you usually just need to wrap them with plastic wrap and keep them at room temperature. If the store is large enough and the cold storage is large enough, you can also wrap them with plastic wrap and put them in the cold storage, so that the fruits can be kept fresh longer.

4. Edible preservatives

If you don't want to use plastic wrap, then buy some edible preservatives that are harmless to the human body and spray them on the surface of the fruit. This can form a protective film on the surface of the fruit that isolates it from the air and can also achieve the effect of preserving the fruit.
