In May every year, more fruits are listed on the market, such as loquat, cherry, bayberry, lychee, etc. However, like many people, I still like the taste of "lychee" the most. Lychee is known as pineapple, banana, and longan. The "Four Great Fruits of the South", the color is relatively fresh and a little bright, the taste is sweet, the taste is glutinous and juicy, one bite is absolutely addicting.
The ancients said: "If is separated from this branch, the color will change in one day, and the taste will change in three days. Then the name of the branch will be separated, or it may also be ." It is said that this lychee is inseparable from "twigs" and cannot be stored. Until now, lychees are transported from the south to the north. Due to the high storage cost, the price will be very high in the north. The favored concubine smiled and did not hesitate to build a "litchi road", 800 miles to rush to deliver fresh lychees, but unfortunately, the twigs have already left, and the concubine laughed, and they were all talking about it.
In the hottest summer, the purchased lychees will turn black overnight if they are not stored properly, and then there is a danger of deterioration. How to preserve the lychees for a long time? Maybe many friends who have lived in the countryside have used underground well water for preservation, which is really useful, but now it is more convenient to have a refrigerator at home, but you must not put lychees directly in the refrigerator, otherwise it will easily spoil. ,How to do? See the breakdown below.
Two preservation methods of lychees
Refrigeration preservation method
After lychees are picked, if there is still respiration activity in high temperature weather, it will continue to produce the "plant hormone" - ethylene, which accelerates the ripening of the fruit. The best method at this time is The method of low-temperature storage is to stop lychees from releasing "ethylene", but when the temperature is lower than 0 degrees, lychees are prone to frostbite and frostbite, so they must be handled when they are placed in the refrigerator.
First, use scissors to cut off the excess stems of the lychees after buying them. Be careful not to break them with your hands to prevent breaking the nut shell. Carefully check and remove those with worm holes at the bottom, and then soak the lychees in light salt water for about 10 minutes. , use the osmotic pressure of table salt to eliminate the bacteria on the surface of lychee, so as to reduce the possibility of lychee deterioration.
Then take out the lychees and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the surface moisture. Remember to keep the lychees dry when you put them in the refrigerator. Finally, divide the lychees into several equal parts, and each part is enough to eat at one time. Then wrap each serving individually with newspaper, and then pack it in a plastic bag. Try to remove excess air and tie the bag tightly and put it in the refrigerator. When you eat, take only one serving, and don’t return it if you can’t finish it. Refrigerator, otherwise it is easy to damage, so it can be stored for half a month.
The refrigerator here is also very particular. In the hot summer (including the current temperature), it is best to adjust the gear in the refrigerator to between 1 and 4. If it is between 5 and 7, the refrigerator will not start for a long time. Stopping, causing the refrigerated room temperature to be too low or even frost, which is very detrimental to the preservation of lychees.
Watering preservation method
This method is relatively simple and does not require the participation of the refrigerator, but the preservation time is much shorter.
Just lay out the purchased lychees flat to avoid accumulation, and cover them with a wet towel in a cool place, so that you can sprinkle a little cold water on the towel every once in a while to ensure humidity and cooling. About four days, it is relatively troublesome, or the first method is relatively easy and reliable.
——There is something to say——
Lychee has high sugar and protein. Eating it in summer can replenish energy and improve body resistance, but lychee is a hot food. If you eat too much, you may get angry and easily cause physical discomfort. , And don't be greedy when you are fasting, it is easy to suffer from "lychee disease", that is, low blood sugar, so no matter how good things are, don't eat too much, so as to avoid extremes.
