Fruits in the refrigerator are not recommended

　　 unripe fruit

Some fruits, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, will be picked when they are half-ripe, but some fruits must be picked after they are ripe. Whether to wait until they are ripe and then picked depends on whether the fruit itself can release a large amount of ethylene .

　　 Ethylene is the natural ripening agent of some fruits.

　　 Apple, a representative fruit rich in ethylene, must be familiar to everyone. It is a commonly used "sacred fruit" for ripening. Generally, immature fruits purchased, such as kiwi, put an apple in it and store it in a sealed container, and it will mature naturally soon.

　　 However, putting unripe fruits in the refrigerator will affect the production and release of ethylene, which will keep the fruits in an immature state. When they are removed to room temperature, they will not only taste bad, but will also easily become rotten.

　　 Therefore, immature fruits should be kept at room temperature as much as possible, and when they are naturally ripe, put them in the refrigerator or eat directly.

　　Zero fresh-keeping refrigerator is not suitable for tropical fruits

　　 The environmental climate of the fruit producing area determines the suitable storage conditions for it. Just as the southern girl can't stand the dryness of the north, the northern girl can't adapt to the dampness of the south.

　　General tropical fruits are sensitive to low temperature. If they are kept in a refrigerator with low temperature, they will easily frostbite these fruits, causing the peel to appear sunken, dark brown spots, and internal softness.

　　 Not only that, after the fruit frostbite, it also destroys its nutrients and accelerates the rate of deterioration.

　　 The best way to store tropical fruits is to store them in a dark, cool place. If you must put it in the refrigerator, it is recommended to put it in a vegetable and fruit tank with a higher temperature, and it is best not to store it for more than two days.

　　 cut fruit

　　 Many people now buy ready-made fruit cuts directly to save trouble and convenience. But the cut fruit is not suitable for long-term storage. Even if it is stored in the refrigerator, it is easy to oxidize and deteriorate, produce peculiar smell, and breed many bacteria.

　　 If you have to store it in the refrigerator, the editor recommends covering the cut surface of the fruit exposed to the air with plastic wrap to slow down the oxidation of the fruit. Just cut off the surface layer before eating.

　　The law of survival in the refrigerator

　　 The ingredients are put in the refrigerator, too.

　　 Separate raw and cooked; put fruits and vegetables together as much as possible.

　　 If it is packaged in plastic wrap, avoid touching the refrigerator wall to avoid freezing damage; fruits that emit rich odors should be "living alone" with fresh-keeping boxes or vacuum packaging.

　　Tropical fruits are placed in a separate area; all fruits placed in the refrigerator are best to put a piece of kitchen paper in the package to help absorb moisture and prevent mold.

　　 In addition, fragile and soft fruits should be treated differently and placed in a crisper to avoid squeezing.
