How to store apples? Tips on how to store apples

Apples are common fruits that can be bought in the market all year round, but they are mostly available in large quantities in autumn. At that time, apples sold in the market are not worried about being stale and the price is relatively cheap. Some people want to buy more and store them at home, but what should they do at this time? What are the methods and techniques for storing apples?

1. Keep in refrigerator

Usually, after buying fresh apples, you can refrigerate them directly, but before refrigerating them, you need to select high-quality apples that are free of bruises, scars, and insect bites, and soak them in light salt water for 5 to 10 minutes. After taking them out, dry the moisture on the surface, wrap the apples with soft white paper, and store them directly in the refrigerator. This way, the apples can be stored for several months without deterioration, and they will still taste fresh when taken out and eaten.

2. Water tank storage

Apples purchased in the fall can also be stored directly in a water tank at home. Before storage, you need to wash the water tank with clean water and dry it, then put it in a cool environment, put a glass bottle filled with clean water at the bottom of the water tank, and then put the selected high-quality apples without scars into the water tank one by one. After filling, you can seal the mouth of the tank with plastic wrap. This way, the apples can be stored for 5 to 6 months without deterioration, and the intact rate can be as high as 90%.

3. Wooden box storage

Apple is a kind of fruit that is particularly easy to preserve in life. It has a relatively long shelf life. Ordinary wooden boxes can be used to store apples. Before storage, you need to put a few layers of paper around the wooden box, and then put the selected apples into a plastic bag at a time, ten at a time, seal the bag, and place it directly in the wooden box. After it is full, cover it with a few layers of paper, and then close the lid of the wooden box. Put it in a cool environment so that the apples can be stored for more than six months without deterioration.
