How long can water chestnut last? Water chestnut is the fruit of an aquatic plant, so all the water chestnuts we eat grow in water. There are many people who like to eat water chestnut in life, and there are many ways to eat water chestnut. But how should water chestnut be preserved in general? How long can water chestnut be preserved? Can I put it in the refrigerator?
Keep it dry in the refrigerator.
Raw water chestnuts are generally dirty after they are picked, so the farmer's uncle will wash them and sell them in the market, so the raw water chestnuts we buy are actually wrapped in water, which is actually not easy to preserve at this time, because foods with more water are actually more prone to deterioration. So if we want to put it in the refrigerator, we'd better dry it and keep it dry.
It is generally best to eat as soon as possible.
Generally, if the water chestnut bought back is raw, there will be a lot of water on it, which will easily deteriorate even if it is put in the refrigerator, so it is best to cook it as soon as possible. And if you buy cooked water chestnut, you should eat it as soon as possible, because the shell of cooked water chestnut is softer and easier to absorb water, so it is relatively easy to soften and deteriorate, so you must eat it as soon as possible!
Cook water chestnut and eat it as soon as possible.
Generally, it is best to eat water chestnut cooked at home as soon as possible, not more than 24 hours. Generally, the season to eat water chestnut is late summer and early autumn. The temperature is actually a little high at this time. If you don't eat it in time, it is actually very easy to deteriorate. However, if fried in a shell, it can actually be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two, because it has no shell and does not contain too much water, so it is relatively difficult to deteriorate.
How to store water chestnut? 1. If it is a water chestnut with a shell, it can be directly refrigerated and stored for a long time. There should be a small hole in the plastic bag to keep it ventilated to prevent water from causing water chestnut to mold in the plastic bag. But it is worth noting that the longer it is refrigerated, the worse it will taste!
2. If it is water chestnut with a shell, don't put it in the refrigerator, just put it in a fresh-keeping box and put it in a cool and dry place. It can also be stored for a day or two.
3. If it is water chestnut with shell, we need to seal it with fresh-keeping bag or box before storage, and then store it in a cool place or refrigerator for about two days.
Note: if it is a water chestnut with a shell, it can be directly refrigerated for a long time, but it should be noted that the longer the refrigeration time, the worse the taste will be.
If it is a water chestnut with a shell, it needs to be sealed with a fresh-keeping bag before storage, and then put it in a cool place or refrigerator, which can probably control 1-2 days. ?
