Can I just buy some fruit and put it in the refrigerator? (Down)

As for soft fruits like persimmons, peaches, and avocados, Chen Yingru suggests that you can imitate the vendors and use plastic mesh bags to protect the fruits. Cover the fruits one by one and then put them in a fresh-keeping box to prevent them from colliding with other ingredients. Li Jijin also believes that novices in housework can ask their mothers-in-law or fruit stall owners for advice, or they can observe how fruit shops store fruit for reference.

Apples are fruits that easily release ethylene. If you want to speed up the ripening of refrigerated fruits, you can wrap the fruits and apples together and they will ripen quickly. Rotten fruits also release ethylene. For example, grapes are usually sold in bunches. It is best to cut the grapes one by one and store them in fresh-keeping boxes. If there are rotten fruits, they should be picked up and thrown away as soon as possible to avoid accelerating the decay of other fruits.

The refrigerator is not a storage room. Eat all the food within a week.

Generally, refrigerators are often opened, so the temperature will be unstable. However, as long as the fresh-keeping room is not opened often, the temperature will be relatively stable, so it is a better storage location. Fruit is a living thing that breathes. It will "ripen on its own" whether it is kept at room temperature or refrigerated, so don't buy too much at one time and eat it all within a week. Experts all emphasize that you should not rely too much on the refrigerator, so as not to affect the freshness, taste and sweetness of the fruit.

If you buy too much fruit and can't finish it, you can use freezing to extend its shelf life in the hot summer. Li Jijin said that lychees are sweetest in summer but cannot be stored for long. "You can soak the lychees in salt water, drain and refrigerate them to make them less likely to spoil. If you really can't finish them, cut them one by one and freeze them. Although the skin will dry and brown, the flavor and taste of the flesh will remain unchanged, and they will not go bad even in winter!"

In addition, bananas, which cannot tolerate low temperatures, can be peeled, put into plastic bags or fresh-keeping boxes, and frozen. They can then be made into smoothies or fruit and vegetable juices to cool down in the summer.
