Fruits, when improperly stored, can quickly spoil and become contaminated with harmful pathogens. This article provides valuable guidance on how to safely and conveniently process and preserve fresh fruits.
How to Properly Handle Peeled Fruit
After peeling fruits like apples and pears, they tend to turn dark and unappealing. To prevent this, it’s recommended to prepare a bowl of lightly salted water. Immediately after peeling the fruit, soak it in the salt water. This method helps preserve the fruit’s nutrition while preventing it from browning.
Preserving Jujube with Wine
Apples, if left for a long time, can wither and lose their flavor. To prevent this, you can preserve apples by placing them in wine mixed with boiled sugar. This method not only extends their shelf life but also enhances their taste.
Accelerating Banana Ripening
To quickly ripen bananas, you can place them in a large plastic bag (or any large bag if a plastic bag is not available) along with a cup of sand or kitchen ash. Insert 5 to 10 incense sticks, broken in half, into the bag and burn the incense. Then tightly seal the bag. This simple and cost-effective method will accelerate the ripening process.
Storing Bananas in the Refrigerator
Although bananas stored in the refrigerator may darken, it is actually the best way to preserve them. You will notice that refrigerated bananas stay fresh for a long time and still retain their flavor when consumed.
Quickly Peeling Peaches
If you want to peel peaches easily, you can briefly immerse them in boiling water for 1 minute and then transfer them to cold water. This method softens the skin and makes peeling a simple task.
Extracting More Lemon Juice
To extract more juice from lemons, soak them in water for approximately 2 minutes before squeezing.
Removing Bitterness from Persimmons
– Applying alcohol or spraying alcohol on the surface of persimmons and covering them for 3-5 days can reduce their bitterness.
– Mixing persimmons with pears and allowing them to sit for 3-5 days helps eliminate the bitter taste.
– Placing persimmons in a plastic bag with 1 or 2 apples (preferably large jujube type) and tightly sealing the bag for 2-3 days will also remove the bitterness.
Properly Washing Melons
In the summer when melons are abundant, it is essential to soak them in salt water for 20-30 minutes before peeling and consuming. This helps eliminate any potential toxins and parasites from the peel.
