Chestnut preservation There are actually many ways to preserve fresh chestnuts for a long time.

Cool and refrigerate in the refrigerator, place in a cloth bag and place in a ventilated place, place in a jar and cover with straw to seal, mix with sand and gravel and put in a container for storage, spread completely and place in a ventilated and cool place, mix with sawdust and put in a container

.

1. Cooling and refrigeration. First of all, the common way we know how to preserve fresh chestnuts is to refrigerate them. Fresh chestnuts can be cleaned and placed outside to dry the moisture on the surface, and then put in a fresh-keeping bag or plastic wrap, and

Seal the mouth of the bag or box and place it in the refrigerated layer of the refrigerator. This method can preserve fresh chestnuts for about a month without deterioration.

2. Preserve fresh chestnuts in a ventilated environment. Due to its growth habits, it is not easy to deteriorate if placed in a relatively ventilated environment.

When storing, we can first place the fresh chestnuts in a relatively ventilated environment to dry.

After two days, find a relatively transparent and breathable cloth bag, put the chestnuts into the bag, and then place the bag in a cooler place to achieve storage.

The storage time can reach about four to five months.

3. Storage in jars You can also place fresh chestnuts in wine jars or clay jars for storage.

First, wash and dry the fresh chestnuts, then put them into a jar that is relatively clean and dry. Then fill it until it is about 70-80% full, then put some straw into it, and then put the jar upside down in a relatively dry place.

This method can only be used to store a small amount of chestnuts on the ground and is not suitable for large quantities.

4. Mix sand and gravel. After drying the fresh chestnuts, place them in a jar-shaped container that can be loaded. Then pour an appropriate amount of relatively dry yellow sand into it. The ratio of yellow sand to chestnuts is 3:

About 1 is enough.

Then sprinkle a little water on the surface of the yellow sand to prevent the water in the fresh chestnuts from completely evaporating.

This can also better achieve the function of storing chestnuts.

5. The method of spreading and storing fresh chestnuts can also be directly placed in a cool, dry and relatively ventilated place. First of all, you only need to spread the fresh chestnuts completely and place them in a ventilated place, and this place needs to be dry, ventilated and ventilated all year round.

Without being exposed to direct sunlight, fresh chestnuts can be stored for up to two months.

6. Mixing wood chips This method is similar to mixing and storing sand and gravel. You need to first mix wood chips and fresh chestnuts and put them into a suitable container.
