How to store grapes in the refrigerator

In summer, lying in bed, turning on the air conditioner, and eating a bunch of chilled grapes are the most pleasant things to do in this hot summer. But it would be too troublesome if you buy and eat grapes immediately every time. If grapes are kept in the refrigerator for a long time, many people do not know the correct storage method. If the storage method is improper, the grapes will be damaged. So how should you store grapes in the refrigerator?

1. Grapes can be stored in the refrigerator like other foods. However, since this fruit has high sugar and water content, even if the grapes are stored in the refrigerator, they are not suitable for being placed in the freezer to avoid damaging the texture of the fruit. They cannot be stored in the fresh-keeping layer for a long time, as the grapes will deteriorate and rot if kept in the refrigerator for too long.

2. Grapes themselves have a high water content and are very easy to rot. In addition, there is some fruit powder on the surface of grapes, which has a certain preservative effect. Therefore, grapes should not get wet when placed in the refrigerator. Simply clean the purchased grapes, remove the grapes that are beginning to rot, wrap the grapes with dry paper, and put them in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer to keep them fresh.

3. Grapes can only be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Grapes themselves contain high levels of sugar and water, and are a natural perfect culture medium for fungi. At room temperature, they will spoil in just 2-3 days, and they can only be kept fresh in the refrigerator for a few days. If they are kept for too long, they will also spoil. Therefore, it is best to buy grapes fresh and eat them now.

4. Keep the grapes in the refrigerator without washing them. Before putting grapes in the refrigerator, you should wash them according to how much you eat. Do not wash too many at one time. Leaving them for too long can easily lead to the growth of bacteria. Unwashed grapes can be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their original taste and flavor.
