Once, I was bothered by this question as well. Sweet potatoes are a regular customer at my family's table, but they tend to spoil every time I buy too much. I tried all sorts of ways to find the right way to preserve it, and finally found one that was both simple and practical. Now, I'm going to share this tip with you, and I hope it can help you.
First, the detailed method introduction.
First of all, we need to understand that the reason why sweet potatoes are easy to sprout and harden during storage is because of moisture. So, the first step we need to do is to dry the sweet potatoes. The specific operation is to do not wash the sweet potatoes you just bought, and put them directly on the balcony to dry for 2-3 days, so that the water on the surface will evaporate naturally, and the soil will naturally fall off in the process.
Then, we need to prepare a cardboard box. Spread a layer of newspaper on the bottom of the carton, and then put the dried sweet potatoes into the carton, and the sweet potatoes are separated by newspaper, and the sweet potatoes are covered with newspaper, which can prevent the sweet potatoes from squeezing each other and maintain the freshness of the sweet potatoes.
Finally, seal the carton well and place it in a cool and ventilated place, so that you can store the sweet potatoes for a long time. This method is simple and practical, and the effect is very good, the sweet potatoes are fresh, not sprouted, not hard core in the first half of the year, and the more you put it, the sweeter it becomes.
2. Explanation of the principle.
Why does this work so well?First of all, drying the sweet potatoes can reduce the moisture on the surface of the sweet potatoes, which slows down the respiration of the sweet potatoes and extends the shelf life of the sweet potatoes. Secondly, the newspaper can absorb the moisture inside the sweet potato and maintain the freshness of the sweet potato. Finally, the light-proof effect of the carton prevents the sweet potatoes from sprouting.
The principle behind this method is actually very simple, which is to extend the shelf life of sweet potatoes by controlling the moisture content of sweet potatoes. Newspapers and cardboard boxes play a role in moisture absorption and protection from light, further ensuring the freshness of sweet potatoes. That's why our sweet potatoes can be fresh, non-sprouting, not hard-core for half a year, and the sweeter they get.
Well, I'm sure you've learned how to preserve sweet potatoes for a long time. This method is simple and practical, and the effect is very good, the sweet potatoes are fresh, not sprouted, not hard core in the first half of the year, and the more you put it, the sweeter it becomes.
