Mangosteen, also called mango, is a tropical fruit. Fresh mangosteen skin is purple, soft and elastic. But after a long time, the mangosteen peel will gradually harden, and if it is not preserved properly, it will also lead to the decay and deterioration of the mangosteen peel.
Because the shell of mangosteen is loose in texture and has many pores, the water and nutrients in mangosteen will be lost after being left for a long time, so that the shell of mangosteen will lose water and become hard, and if bacteria breed, it will directly deteriorate and rot.
What's yellow in mangosteen? Is it bad? The yellow thing in mangosteen is a kind of pulp naturally secreted during the growth of mangosteen, which is harmless to human body and edible, but its taste is not as good as that of fresh mangosteen.
But it does not rule out that the yellow things in mangosteen are rotten. Specifically, it can be comprehensively judged from the state of mangosteen shell and the texture of pulp. A good mangosteen shell is intact and crack-free, and the flesh is crystal clear.
3 how to choose mangosteen delicious? Look at the top of mangosteen with a green fruit pedicle. The darker the fruit pedicle, the fresher the mangosteen will be. If it is black or other colors, don't choose to buy it.
The skin of mangosteen with good shell is purple, the shell is bright and clean without wear, and the shell is soft and elastic, which can be quickly recovered after being pressed by hand.
There is a leaf-like thing at one end of the sepal mangosteen, followed by sepals, and the number of sepals also corresponds to mangosteen, generally between 4-8 petals.
Generally speaking, among two mangosteen of the same size, the heavier mangosteen is better, because the heavier mangosteen means more water and sweeter taste.
How to refrigerate mangosteen for a long time? The shell of mangosteen contains many pore structures, which are easy to dry and deteriorate. Therefore, if you want to preserve it for a long time, you must create a low temperature and low oxygen environment. Generally speaking, it is better to store mangosteen in the refrigerator. Low temperature can reduce the loss of water in mangosteen, reduce the activity of pectinase, delay aging and prolong storage time.
Sealed preservation can also put mangosteen in a fresh-keeping bag, and then tie the bag tightly, but pay attention to leave a small amount of air, which can also extend the preservation time of mangosteen.
