Don't put the watermelon in the refrigerator if you can't finish eating, the taste is poor and the flavor is crossed, teach you a few local methods, and it will be fresh for a week!
After the summer solstice, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we have continuous high temperatures here, often maintaining above 35 degrees, and everyone turns on the air conditioner and doesn't want to go out anymore. I also basically don't go out anymore except to go out to buy groceries. Today at the gate of the community, I saw a cart of watermelons on sale, 1.5 yuan a catty, or seedless watermelons, looking at the big watermelons, thinking of the sweet and rich juice, I instantly came to my appetite, and bought one to go home to quench my thirst. Walked closer to see, the watermelon is so big, each one costs more than ten pounds, picked for a long time, saw a few smaller ones, and not good, and finally spent 20 yuan, picked a dozen pounds of big watermelon home.
As we all know, the bigger the watermelon, the better, the general first watermelon is not big, the second watermelon is the largest, the taste is also the best, when we buy watermelon, we have to look at the melon vine, the melon vine is fresh, then the watermelon is just picked, and it is particularly fresh, if the melon vine is withered, then this watermelon is not fresh. Secondly, let's look at the texture, the texture of the watermelon is clear, the macula is very small, indicating that the watermelon is ripe, and finally look at the watermelon stem, the small and round watermelon is a good watermelon.
I was recently in my son's house, even the children were only 4 people, buy such a big watermelon, of course I can't finish it, only eat half a watermelon, it's already very full, what to do with half a watermelon, my son said either to eat half a watermelon in the refrigerator, but I remember that a few years ago, when the child was young, he ate ice watermelon, vomited and diarrhea, went to the hospital and hung up water for several days, and the body has refused to recover, so I said: either finish eating, or place it according to the old method, don't put it in the refrigerator, not fresh, poor taste, and flavor, I will have diarrhea after eating.
So what kind of old way is good? Here are 3 old ways to do it.
Method 1: Water Well Preservation Method.
I remember when I was a child, there was no refrigerator at home, but there was a well, and my grandfather would put leftover meals and endless watermelons in a basket and hang them into the well with a rope, so that the basket could touch the water. Because the well water is very cold, it will not break if it is left for a week. Therefore, people who have wells in rural areas can wrap the watermelon that can't be eaten with plastic wrap and put it in the well.
Method 2: Ice water preservation method. Prepare a deep basin slightly larger than the watermelon, add water, add salt, add some ice cubes if possible, and then cover the cut half of the watermelon with plastic wrap, put it in a deep basin, and submerge about two-thirds of the watermelon, so that the water can be changed once a day, and it can also be put for about a week without deterioration. Salt has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, which can avoid the breeding of bacteria after being added, and can also reduce the temperature of the water, which is not easy to deteriorate.
Method 3: Garlic preservation method. Garlic has a sterilizing effect and can help watermelon kill bacteria, thereby delaying the speed of watermelon deterioration. This method is very simple to operate, put a few cut garlic on top of the cut watermelon, and then cover with plastic wrap. But garlic has a special pungent taste, and the watermelon we save with garlic should be cut off the top layer when eating to avoid affecting the taste of the watermelon itself
In fact, how to preserve watermelon, there are pros and cons, the best way is to solve it quickly, don't keep it for too long, if you really can't eat it, it's best not to exceed 24 hours, after all, our health can be more valuable than a watermelon.
