Several methods to extend the shelf life of fruits, most useful for housewives

Most fruits can only be stored for a week, and some will rot in just one or two days. However, for those of us who suffer from "lazy cancer", this is obviously not a good thing. Is there any way to extend the shelf life of fruit?

1. Bananas: If you want bananas to be preserved for a long time, you can choose raw ones. Also, hanging bananas in a cool place can extend their shelf life.

2. Pears: Careful people will find that many pears are wrapped in plastic paper, but we will throw it away when we buy them. Little do people know that this layer of paper can extend the shelf life of the pears. Wrap the pears with this soft paper, put them in a plastic bag and place them on the top shelf of the refrigerator. The temperature is adjusted to around 0℃ and it can generally be stored for two months.

3. Orange: Slice 500 grams of garlic, add water and bring to a boil. After cooling, soak the oranges in water for a few minutes, then take them out and store them. They can stay fresh for 3 months.

4. Kiwi: Kiwi is suitable to be stored in a refrigerator at -0.5℃-0℃, and cannot be stored together with apples and pears. Because apples and pears easily release ethylene, they will accelerate the ripening and rotting of kiwifruit flesh.

5. Apples: Generally speaking, apples have a relatively long shelf life, but if they are exposed to the air for too long, the taste of the apples will deteriorate, so it is best to wrap the apples in paper and put them in a dark place. This way, they will not rot and the taste will not be ruined for ten days or half a month.

6. Strawberries: Strawberries are one of the most perishable fruits. If you want to preserve them for a long time, you can cover and seal them with 0.04 mm thick polyethylene film bags and store them in an environment of 0-0.5℃ and relative humidity of 85%-95%. Under these conditions, strawberries can be stored for more than 2 months.

7. Bayberry: Soak the bayberries in 1000ppm salicylic acid for 2 minutes on the second day after harvesting. This can maintain the good quality and flavor of the fruit and help reduce the rot rate.
