Apples are very complete fruits that we can all eat, including babies, dogs and cats. A tasty and versatile fruit like the pear, which fits perfectly into sweet and savory dishes, but what few people know is that there is a trick to keeping them for up to 10 weeks. We are going to tell you all about this trick, and surely, until today, we were doing it wrong.
Apples are a delicious fruit with broth, juicy, fresh, that hydrate well and that can be mixed with many foods, and are even suitable for animal consumption, as we have already mentioned. Apples are easy to chew, as long as you don’t have to bite into them, because not all dentures are made for that effort.
This versatile fruit is usually stored in the refrigerator and is also usually kept in a fruit bowl at room temperature. There are also those who keep them in plastic bags and even in jars peeled and cut and submerged in water. But today we will clear up doubts, since between one method and another there is a difference of up to 70 days . Everything is to prevent food waste and extra spending money.
If we see that the fruit and vegetables are getting soft, it is best to use it for juices, biscuits, creams, broths, to make them baked, scrambled with eggs, etc. The point is to try to ture as little food as possible. As long as we remove the bad part, and they are well cleaned and peeled, the risks of bacteria will be negligible.
A new study from Wrap has made it clear what the best method is to preserve apples, as well as other fruits and vegetables such as broccoli and cucumber. This study has analyzed 5 fruits and vegetables that are commonly consumed and that, in turn, are the ones that are most discarded, which is why they wanted to investigate and find out the best method to store them.
apples in the fridge
The Charity Wrap study has chosen 5 of the most discarded products in homes such as apples, bananas, broccoli, cucumber and potatoes.
The study has been carried out for 18 months and they have been studied one by one, exposing them to different conservation processes and the conclusions are that, for example, potatoes are best preserved in their original packaging (preferably breathable such as cardon paper and mesh) and at room temperature. environment, while cucumber and broccoli are best kept in the refrigerator at a temperature below 5 degrees.
Above 9 degrees, it is already an inappropriate temperature that will cause the food to start its putrefaction process earlier.
The same thing happens with apples. This versatile fruit keeps for up to 70 more days if we keep it in the fridge at a temperature below 5 degrees. In addition, with this research, the idea of selling fruits and vegetables without plastic packaging and without an expiration date will also be promoted, since that would scare buyers away from the idea of having to throw away food after that date.
