Preserving fruits during the Tet holiday in Vietnam and Asia is essential. But how can you make sure your fruits stay fresh for longer than a week? Here are three effective methods to preserve fruits and keep them fresh throughout Tet.

1. Preserve juicy fruits

Juicy fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are a must-have during Tet. To keep them fresh, simply rub the stem with lime. This simple trick will help preserve the fruits for the entire holiday season.

2. Preserve cucumbers

Cucumbers are a favorite vegetable that pairs well with many dishes and helps reduce greasiness. During Tet, cucumbers are bought in large quantities, but they tend to wither quickly. However, there’s a simple solution. Place the cucumbers in a small bowl with diluted salty water and insert the stem until it covers 1/3 of the cucumber. Keep the bowl in the refrigerator and remember to change the water daily. This method will keep your cucumbers fresh for weeks.

3. Preserve watermelons

Banh chung and watermelons are staple dishes in every family’s Tet celebration. While watermelons can be stored for a long time, they can become soft and lose their taste. To prevent this, soak the watermelons in a 15% salt solution for half an hour. Afterward, dry them and keep them in a cool place.

These preservation methods can be beneficial not only during Tet but also in your day-to-day life. Now, you know how to keep watermelons fresh even if you accidentally buy too many. Give them a try and experience their effectiveness.
