How to store fresh peaches

Wash the fresh peaches under running water to remove bacteria on the surface. After washing, wipe them clean with a clean towel and put them in a fresh-keeping bag. Seal the bag and put it in the refrigerator. This method will affect the taste, so eat it as soon as possible.

You can also use chemical preservatives to soak and preserve. During the storage process, fresh peaches often rot due to brown rot. Therefore, you can soak fresh peaches in 0.1% benomyl solution to inactivate the brown rot fungi on the surface of the peaches, reduce the rot of the peaches, and preserve them for a longer time. However, you should pay attention to the fact that chemical substances are slightly harmful to the human body, so you must wash them thoroughly before eating.

How to store peaches when they are soft

When peaches become soft, it means that they are already quite mature. At this time, the peaches are no longer suitable to be placed in a warm environment outside. They can be stored in the refrigerator. This can appropriately extend the shelf life of the peaches and prevent them from rotting. Try to eat them as soon as possible.

Peaches that you can't finish eating can also be made into pickled peaches. Wash the peaches, peel and core them, cut them into two or four pieces, add white sugar or rock sugar, and marinate them overnight before eating. This will improve the taste of the peaches and extend the storage time.

Can peaches be refrigerated?

Peaches can be stored in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator is relatively low, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms, and extend the shelf life of peaches. However, if peaches are kept in the refrigerator for a long time, not only will their sweetness decrease, but their fragrance will also continue to evaporate and become sour. This is because the sweetness of peaches mainly comes from sucrose, and sucrose can only be released at 30°C. If stored in a refrigerator with a relatively low temperature, the sucrose content in the pulp will be relatively low.
