How to keep apples fresh for a long time

If the apples will be eaten within a dozen days, they can be stored directly in the refrigerator. Apples do not like too dry an environment and will shrivel. It is best to put them in plastic bags when the humidity is low. When storing apples in the refrigerator, they should be separated from other vegetables and fruits to prevent mutual influence.

To store apples for a long time, you must first choose high-quality varieties. The apples cannot be damaged or fully ripe. Apple varieties suitable for long-term storage include seasonal Fuji and green apples.

If you want to preserve apples for a longer period of time, you can store them in a water jar. They can be kept for several months. Wrap the apples and put them layer by layer into a clean and dry water jar. After the jar is full, seal the mouth of the jar with a piece of plastic film.

How to store cut apples

If you can't finish the apple after cutting it, you can put it in salt water for half an hour to prevent the apple from oxidizing too quickly. Generally, apples should be eaten on the same day. If you eat them after a while, the nutrients in the apple will be lost and the taste will deteriorate. The cut apples should be wrapped in plastic bags before being put in the refrigerator.

If you can't finish the apple after cutting it, you can put it in the refrigerator for half an hour so that the apple won't change color and oxidize so quickly. Soak the apple in warm water at 50 degrees and then put salt in it, rub it on the surface of the apple a few times, and wash off the salt on the apple when you eat it.

Apples should be eaten on the same day, and it is best not to save them until the next day. If you do not eat the cut apples on the same day, but keep them in the refrigerator and eat them the next day, most of their nutrients will be lost. In addition, apples are easily oxidized. The larger the area in contact with air and the longer the time, the more nutrients the apples will lose.

Cut apples should be stored in a low-temperature, humidified environment. It is best to wrap the apples in a plastic bag when putting them in the refrigerator to prevent oxidation. You can soak them in salt water or drip lemon juice on them to prevent oxidation and discoloration. But it is best to eat them immediately after cutting.

How to store uneaten apples without discoloring

The way to preserve uneaten apples without discoloring is to soak them in salt water for about 15 minutes, or drip lemon juice on the apple slices to prevent the apples from oxidizing and turning brown when exposed to air. From the perspective of preserving the nutrients in the apples, peeled apples should not be soaked for too long. The reason why apples change color is that the apple pulp contains polyphenol enzymes, which will oxidize when exposed to air, and the nutrition and taste will be compromised.
