Potatoes, wheat, rice, corn, and sorghum are also known as one of the world’s five major crops. A very important kind of food, which plays a huge role and solves the food and clothing problem of people in many places. In our country, we all eat as vegetables. In fact, in many countries, they all eat as staple food. In Europe and America, potatoes have long become their second staple food.
Potatoes are rich in nutrients. Its vitamin C content is very high, 10 times that of apples. Other nutrients are also much higher than ordinary vegetables and grains. Potatoes are good, but when we buy them, they are often wasted because they sprout. Potatoes cannot be eaten if they have sprouted, because they will produce toxins and endanger health.
Potatoes are generally soiled, so they are usually not stored in the refrigerator after they are bought, and potatoes are not suitable for storage in the refrigerator. In fact, the method of preserving potatoes is very simple, there is no need to put them in the refrigerator, and the potatoes will not sprout and do not turn green, and they will not be damaged after half a year.
Let me first show you how farmers save a lot of potatoes.
Farmers all have a cellar, which is specially used to store vegetables and grains. In the cellar, the low temperature is dark and dry, and the potatoes will not go bad if they are left for at least half a year. Put some things to inhibit sprout and spoilage, and the potatoes can be kept fresh and stored for a long time.
So when we preserve potatoes, we can also refer to this method to create an environment similar to a cellar to preserve potatoes. Don't store potatoes at will, because the kitchen is humid and warm, and potatoes will sprout in two or three days. Don't eat them after they have sprouted!
How to preserve potatoes:
1. Wrap the fresh potatoes with paper to prevent moisture, and then wrap them in a black plastic bag to avoid light. Then put it in a cardboard box and put it in a cool and ventilated place, cut off air, sunlight and humidity, and the potatoes can be stored for a long time.
2. When storing potatoes, you can put some apples and bananas together. The ethylene released by these fruits can inhibit the germination of potatoes and extend the preservation time.
Potatoes do not need to be placed in the refrigerator. After all, there will be dirt on the surface of potatoes, so they must be cleaned in the refrigerator. Once they are cleaned, they will sprout and deteriorate more easily if they come in contact with water. Potatoes cannot be eaten when they have sprouted, and cannot be eaten when they turn green. Sometimes potatoes are left for a long time without sprouting, but the surface becomes green and toxins are produced. Do not eat potatoes like this.
You should eat the potatoes you usually buy as soon as possible. Don’t buy too many at a time, so you don’t need to worry about how to save them.
