How to store lychees if you can't finish them

If you have too many lychees to eat, it is recommended to soak them in salt water and refrigerate them. Soak the extra lychees in salt water and then wash them. This way, the lychees treated with salt water will be relatively hygienic and the taste will be preserved as much as possible. Then pack them in bags and put them in the refrigerator. This method is suitable for long-term storage. If you need to store them for a short period of time, it is recommended to put them in the refrigerator directly after a simple wash.

How to store lychees for a longer time

You can put all the lychees into a black plastic bag, tie the bag mouth, and place the plastic bag in a cool and ventilated place. This way, the lychees can be preserved for a few days without going bad. In addition, you should cut off the longer lychee stems. You can also spray the lychees with some water, then put them in a plastic fresh-keeping bag and put them in the refrigerator to preserve them at low temperature and high humidity. Because the edible time of fresh lychees is not very long, you can dry and dehydrate the lychees to make dried lychees, so that you can enjoy them all year round.

How long can lychees be stored at room temperature in summer?

Because the temperature is relatively high in summer, it is easy to breed bacteria, so in order to maintain the taste, it is best to eat litchi within 2-3 days. In fact, the shelf life of litchi is not that short, but it often takes some time for litchi to be picked and then to reach people's hands, so it tastes best if eaten within 2-3 days.

Can lychees be refrigerated?

Generally speaking, lychees can be stored in the refrigerator. When storing lychees in the refrigerator, you need to pay attention to the storage method. First, you need to cut off all the branches, then put them in a fresh-keeping bag and seal them, and then put them in the refrigerator. If you put unprocessed lychees directly in the refrigerator, the skin of the lychees will easily turn black and the deliciousness of the flesh will be lost more easily. It is generally recommended that lychees stored in the refrigerator should be consumed within four or five days.
