After buying fresh and delicious apples home, if you don’t eat them for a few days, the apples will easily change color and their appearance will become ugly. Therefore, the preservation method of apples is very critical. Most people may not understand the incorrect preservation method of apples. So how to preserve apples in winter?

Great ways to preserve apples:

First, select the ripe apples without mechanical damage, soak them in 3% salt water for 6 minutes, then take them out to dry, wrap them with soft white paper, and store them according to the following two methods:

1. Water tank storage method: First wash the water tank and dry it, then place it in a cool place, and place a can filled with clean water at the bottom of the tank without covering the bottle cap. In the morning when the temperature is low, put the wrapped apples into the jar layer by layer. When the jar is full, seal the mouth with a piece of plastic film. This storage method can store apples for 5 months with a good quality rate of over 90%.

2. Wooden box storage method: Place several layers of paper on the bottom and around the box, and put 10 wrapped apples into a small plastic bag. In the morning when the temperature is low, place two bags full of apples face to face in the box, fill the box layer by layer, cover it with several layers of paper, then seal it and place it in a cool place. This storage method can generally store apples for 6 months.

Apples are rich in fruit acid and trace elements, so preservation is very important. Fresh and delicious apples cannot be placed in wooden boxes, as this will easily cause the apples to rot. Wrap the apples in plastic wrap and wash them with salt water, which will help preserve the apples. According to the above storage method, apples can be preserved for about 5 months.
