How do you store citrus fresh?
There are several ways to keep and store citrus, and here are some common ones:
1. Refrigerator preservation method: Put the citrus in a plastic bag, and then put it in the fresh-keeping room of the refrigerator, which can be stored for a month.
2. Pine needle preservation method: collect dry and fresh pine needles, after the surface of the citrus is dried and watery, the fruit pedicle is stacked into the carton, and a layer of pine needles is stacked with a layer of citrus, and the carton is covered. After sealing, the box is turned every other month.
3. Baking soda soaking method: Soak the citrus in baking soda for 1 minute, then remove and drain, put it in a plastic bag and tie it tightly, which can be stored for three months, and the taste and color can be kept fresh.
Fourth, the treatment method: the use of low-toxicity or non-toxic agents to soak the fruit and store and preserve. It is advisable to use 1000 mg of 50% methyl tobuzine suspension, plus 2,4-d200 mg, and then use the above method to store and preserve, and the effect is better.
5. Air discharge storage and preservation method: the use of air discharge fresh-keeping machine to produce ozone oxidant in the air, its bactericidal power is 35 times that of chlorine, which can not only kill and inhibit the germs on the surface of citrus, but also purify the entire storage environment. Specifically, the KFB-1 air discharge fresh-keeping machine is used to discharge and ventilate once every 2-3 days in the early stage (first month) of the citrus storage room, and discharge and ventilate once every 5-7 days in the middle and late stages (after two months), and discharge and ventilate once every 5-7 days in the middle and late stages (the last two months), and discharge and ventilate once every half an hour each time.
The above methods are for reference, and you can choose the appropriate preservation method according to the actual situation.
Opinion: While the above methods are all effective ways to preserve and store citrus, I personally prefer to use the natural method of pine needle preservation. Not only is this method more environmentally friendly and does not leave any chemical residues on the fruit itself, but the fragrance of the pine needles also adds a special flavor to the citrus. In this way, every time you open the carton and flip the citrus, you can feel the fragrance of nature, making you feel as if you are in a pine forest, which is a unique preservation experience. Therefore, I recommend that you try this natural way to preserve and store citrus for a different culinary experience.
