1 Peaches in the refrigerator or outside

Peaches can be stored in the refrigerator or outside the refrigerator.

1. If the peaches are still raw and hard, and you want to eat them as soon as possible, then you can put them outside the refrigerator, which will make them ripen and soften slowly.

2. If you want to keep the peaches for a longer period of time, or the peaches are already very ripe, it is recommended to keep them in the refrigerator. Generally use plastic wrap or plastic bags directly to the peaches, directly in the refrigerator can be, do not need to wash beforehand.

2 Peaches can be kept at room temperature for a few days

The amount of time that peaches can be kept at room temperature is related to the ripeness of the peaches.

Peaches generally ripen in the summer, so room temperature is also higher. If the peach picking maturity has been very high, then the fructose concentration of which is high, pectin softened, is more prone to decay, can only be put 1-3 days; but if the peach is still relatively hard, room temperature to put 3-7 days is also possible.

3 Peaches in the refrigerator will rot

Peaches in the refrigerator for a long time will also become rotten.

Peaches release ethylene gas during storage, and even if they are kept in the refrigerator, they will slowly release ethylene to ripen themselves. Therefore, peaches in the refrigerator for a long time will slowly become ripe, soft, and will also rot, just a little slower than the speed of decay at room temperature.

4 Will peaches sweeten after a few days in the refrigerator

There is a high probability that peaches will sweeten after a few days in the refrigerator.

Nowadays, to make transportation easier, many peaches are picked when they are 7 minutes ripe. At this time, the peach sugar content is not high, fruit acid content is more, and pectin is relatively hard, so it is not sweet enough to eat, but also some sour, raw. After a few days, the peaches will slowly ripen themselves, the fruit acid content decreases, the sugar content rises, the pectin softens, and the taste will become sweeter. But there are also some peaches will not become sweet, may be related to varieties, quality.
