#冬日生活打卡季#
In addition to the traditional peanuts, melon seeds, bacon and sausages and other New Year's goods, for many young people, fruits are also indispensable New Year's goods.
Especially some fruits that are usually reluctant to eat, I often buy a little for my family and children to try during the Chinese New Year, such as Internet celebrity fruit cherries.
This year, the price of cherries is more affordable than in previous years, and I went to the wholesale fruit market the other day, and it was full of people, many people went there to buy fruit for the New Year.
When you walk into the fruit market, you can see a large number of cherries placed in front of each store, and fruits such as apples, navel oranges, and mandarins from previous years are placed in the back of the inconspicuous back.
Seeing that the price of cherries is indeed more affordable, I bought a box of 10 catties of cherries, which cost 280 yuan, and then bought fruits such as apples, mandarins, and longans.
After buying the cherries, I encountered a problem: how to store the cherries I bought for the Chinese New Year?
For this reason, I asked my cousin, who grows cherries in Shandong, and my cousin, an old fruit farmer, said: "Teach you 4 skills, and it won't go bad if you leave it for 1 month!"
The first tip: take it in small bites.
The cousin said that the key to the preservation of cherries is not to let too much oxygen into the bag, otherwise the cherries will oxidize quickly, which will lead to internal decay.
So the first storage trick is to open a small opening, don't cut the bag all the way, if there is too much oxygen, you can't save it.
The second tip: pick out the bad ones.
After opening a small opening in the bag, you need to pick out the bad fruit inside, if the bad fruit is not picked out, then it will affect the other fruits, and eventually a large area of bad fruit may be formed.
How do you distinguish between bad fruits?
In fact, it is very simple, put the cherries in a well-lit place, you can clearly see the appearance of each cherry, if you find that the cherries are shriveled, or there are depressions, touch them with your hands, if they are soft, or even water, then the bad fruit is undoubted.
The third trick is to freeze for 1 hour.
After picking out the bad fruits, you can take out the cherries you want to eat, and you can take the amount you want to eat for two or three days at a time, which is more convenient.
After taking out what you want to eat, tie the small bite tightly with a string so that no outside air enters, and then put the cherries in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze them for about 1 hour.
Freezing can quickly cool the cherries, so as to achieve the ideal storage temperature of the cherries, so that the cherries are not easy to oxidize, thus extending their shelf life.
The fourth trick is to put in the fresher layer.
After freezing the cherries for 1 hour, take them out and put them in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator, and the general temperature is set to 0-3 degrees Celsius for storage, if your refrigerator has a "0 degree freshness" function, then you can put it in the zero-degree preservation area.
Or if you store the cherries in a low-humidity storage area, be sure to choose low humidity, not high humidity, which can generally be adjusted by yourself.
After the above 4 tips, it will not be bad to store it in the car for 1 month, you can take a little out when you want to eat it, and then remember to seal it well to prevent it from oxidizing.
If the amount of cherries is smaller, then the storage method is simpler.
You only need to take a box, a plastic box, a take-out carton is OK, and then put some paper towels at the bottom of the box, and the function of putting paper towels is to absorb the moisture of the cherries, so as to prevent oxidation.
Then cover the box and put the cherries in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator for preservation, the fresh-keeping temperature is also set between 0-3 degrees, if possible, it will be better to set it at zero degrees.
The cleaning of cherries is relatively simple, sprinkle a little salt into the car, then add water, clean the surface of the car by hand, and then soak for more than half an hour, the salt water can remove excess pesticide residues, and it is more safe to eat.
Cherries are a very delicious fruit, the Spring Festival is approaching, choose some fruits that your family can't usually eat, and it can better reflect your intentions.
