However, although the winter melon is nutritious and delicious, but the winter melon itself is too big after it matures, the large weight can reach 30-40 pounds, and the small one also has 10 pounds, so the winter melon in the general supermarket is cut into large pieces and wrapped in plastic wrap to sell, if you buy less, go home and eat it fresh, it is okay, but many students who love to eat vegetables will definitely buy relatively more winter melon at home at a time, avoid running errands many times, and this preservation of winter melon has become a big problem, because the winter melon itself has more water content, and it is easy to rot and deteriorate if you do not pay attention to it. This makes many students who do not know how to store very nervous and have a lot of headaches.

In fact, the biggest reason why the winter melon has deteriorated is that the cut water is not removed, resulting in the subsequent water breeding bacteria and causing the winter melon to rot, so the simplest and most effective preservation method of winter melon is actually the plastic wrap preservation method:
1. First, the moisture on the surface of the cut winter melon incision is completely dried with kitchen paper by gently pressing;
2, then take the plastic wrap to completely and evenly wrap the winter melon slices;
3, the wrapped winter melon into a cool and ventilated place, generally can be stored for about 10 days without damage.
The principle of the oil preservation method is to isolate the air and avoid bacterial contact reactions, which is equally simple:
1. Dry the surface of the cut winter melon with kitchen paper thoroughly;
2. Take the brush and dip the appropriate amount of cooking oil evenly on the contact surface on both sides of the winter melon, so that it can fully isolate the air;
3, finally wrapped with plastic wrap, for secondary locking, placed in the refrigerator refrigeration, generally can be stored for about a week is not bad.
Soaking preservation method is a relatively common method in restaurants, the storage time is generally about 2-3 days, although the storage time is not long, but it is also very practical, as follows:
1, the fresh winter melon peeled and removed from the winter melon, not washed, directly cut into small pieces;
2: Take a clean and waterless bowl, add all the cut winter melon slices, add a spoonful of salt and enough cool white, mix well;
3, so placed in a cool and ventilated place can be stored for about 3 days fresh and unchanged taste, is a very common practice in restaurants, home on the kitchen counter can be ventilated.
If the winter melon bought outside has been hollowed out at home for a period of time, and many people do not want to throw it away at this time but do not know whether they can eat it, then can the hollow winter melon still be eaten?
The answer is that you can eat, but it is not recommended to eat again, why, because the normal winter melon to be hollow is to be put for a long time, if the winter melon bought home does not take long to cut is hollow, then it is likely to use a ripening agent, so ripening winter melon because the outside is too fast, and the internal pulp can not keep up, resulting in internal hollowness, so such winter melon is not healthy, not recommended to eat.
