Litchi has a short storage time, so it is usually purchased on the same day and may deteriorate the next day. The common preservation method of fruit shops is to keep fresh litchi in water and occasionally spray water to cool down. This method can also be used for preservation at home. If possible, you can put some ice cubes in the water to reduce the temperature and delay the decay time. However, this method cannot be preserved for a long time. It is suggested that fresh litchi should be eaten in 1-2 days. The nutritional value of fresh litchi is higher.
2. Refrigerator preservation method.
In order to preserve the color and fragrance of litchi, you can spray some water on litchi, then put it into a plastic fresh-keeping bag and put it in the refrigerator, and store it at low temperature and high humidity (2-4 degrees Celsius, humidity 90%-95%). Squeezing out the air in the bag as much as possible can reduce the oxygen ratio to slow down the oxidation speed and improve the preservation effect. You can also remove the stems of fresh litchi and wrap them in groups, usually about 20 in a group. The packaging material is dry newspaper. Tie the packaged small bag tightly and put it in the refrigerator. Be careful not to freeze, or you will freeze the fruit.
3, sealed preservation method.
Fresh litchi fruit can be stored in a relatively sealed container for 30 days at the low temperature of 1-9℃. After 6 days storage at room temperature, the quality changed little.
4. Dehydration preservation method.
The consumption time of fresh litchi is not very long. If you want to eat delicious litchi for a long time, you can dry it and dehydrate it to make dried litchi, which can be eaten all year round.
