Many people have the habit of storing fruits in the refrigerator, but there are some tricks to keeping them fresh for longer. These tips will significantly extend the shelf life of your fruits. Here are some useful fruit storage tips for you:
1 Oranges Storage
Use a knife to cut the stem end of the orange, leaving a small portion attached. Apply a small amount of lime to the cut surface. This will prevent bacteria from entering the orange. Then, place the oranges in the refrigerator and cover them with a thin cloth to prolong their freshness.
2 Banana Storage
Ripe bananas, when placed in the refrigerator, tend to turn brown and mushy. Instead, wrap the banana stems with plastic wrap to slow down ripening and enhance sweetness. Store bananas in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight.
3 Apple Storage
Place apples in a basket and cover them with damp paper towels to maintain moisture. Set the refrigerator temperature between -1 and 2 degrees Celsius to keep apples fresh for up to three months.
If you don’t have a refrigerator, wrap each apple in newspaper and store them in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight.
4 Grapes Storage
Line a cardboard box with paper towels and carefully place the grape clusters inside. Cover the box and store it in the refrigerator to keep the grapes fresh for about two weeks.
Remember, to prolong freshness, do not wash the grapes before storing. Washing removes the protective bloom, accelerating the deterioration process.
5 Jackfruit Storage
To keep jackfruit fresh for a day or two, peel and core the fruit, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a container, sprinkle with lemon juice, cover, and store in the refrigerator.
In addition to the fruits mentioned above, you can also explore other fruit storage techniques to keep them fresh for longer.
These are some useful tips for prolonging the freshness of your fruits. Give them a try, and enjoy fresh fruits for a more extended period. Good luck!
