Hello everyone! As a delicious and healthy ingredient, ginkgo seeds can not only satisfy our taste buds, but also help our health. However, how to preserve ginkgo seeds has become a concern for us. Today, I'm going to share with you some tips for preserving ginkgo seeds, keeping them fresh and delicious, and keeping a healthy fruit in your pocket.
First, let's talk about the drying method.
When the ginkgo fruit we buy back is wet, remember not to put it in the refrigerator right away, as this will cause mold. We should put the ginkgo seeds in a ventilated and cool place, turn them once a day, and when the kernels shake, it means that the fruit has been dried, and then collect the ginkgo seeds and put them in the refrigerator. However, it is important not to expose the ginkgo seeds to the sun, as overexposure will cause the fruit to dry out on the outside and wet on the inside, making it more likely to become moldy.
Second, use the refrigeration method.
Storing fresh ginkgo seeds in the refrigerator is the best way to store them. However, if the room temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, placing ginkgo seeds in the refrigerator may not be effective. Because opening the refrigerator door frequently will cause room temperature to enter the refrigerator compartment, which will cause the ginkgo to spoil. Therefore, it is the best option to refrigerate the ginkgo seeds in the freezer so that the kernels can be better preserved.
In addition, there is the canning method.
We can choose several glass bottles with good sealing, pour the ginkgo into the bottle, and then seal the bottle mouth, which can prevent the air and bacteria from coming into contact with the ginkgo seeds, thus prolonging the preservation time of the ginkgo seeds. This method of preservation is also very suitable for long-term storage.
Finally, there is the vacuum bagging method.
If time permits, plastic bags and extraction tubes dedicated to food storage can be purchased. Put the ginkgo seeds in a plastic bag, use a small tube to drain the air in the bag, and then seal the plastic bag, which will ensure that the ginkgo seeds will last longer.
I hope the above preservation methods can help you better preserve the ginkgo seeds and prolong their shelf life. Of course, no matter which preservation method we choose, we need to pay attention to regularly checking the condition of the ginkgo seeds and dealing with the moldy fruits in a timely manner.
Keeping the ginkgo fresh will not only allow us to continue to enjoy the delicious taste, but also to fully enjoy the health benefits of the ginkgo seeds.
Finally, let's learn to store ginkgo seeds correctly, so that healthy and delicious fruits are always in your pocket. I hope you can give full play to your cooking and create more delicious dishes!
