How to store raw chestnuts for a long time?

I would like to share with you 4 ways to preserve raw chestnuts that are more suitable for home use. The details are as follows: 1.

Take a dry fresh-keeping bag or fresh-keeping box, seal it tightly, and finally put it in the refrigerator.

This method is the most common method of preserving raw chestnuts at home. The principle is to use salt water to sterilize the bacteria on the chestnut surface, then dry the water to prevent bacteria from surviving, and finally vacuum seal it to isolate bacteria in the air. Three-step isolation

It can be effectively stored for a long time. This method can preserve raw chestnuts without insects for up to 2 months; 2. Ventilation preservation method: wash the fresh chestnuts with concentrated salt water for 3 minutes, and dry them with a towel.

Put it into a sieve basin and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally; then pack it in a dry mesh bag or clean sack and store it in a ventilated place.

This method is suitable for storing small quantities of chestnuts. The principle is to use salt to sterilize and inactivate, then air-dry to reduce the bacteria-producing ability, and finally store them in a dry and ventilated place without water. Since there is still a possibility of contact with air moisture, this method can only be used for a maximum of

Preserve chestnuts for about 1 month; 3. Storage method in earthenware jars: Soak fresh chestnuts in light salt water for 10 minutes to sterilize. At the same time, wash the inside of the earthenware jar and place them together in the sun or a ventilated place to dry; then take a clean and dry part.

Air moisture and bacteria enter, and finally the lid is used to press it for a second time to strengthen the sealing. In this way, chestnuts can be stored in large quantities and for a long time. The principle is similar to storing salt. As long as the jar is large, it can store up to several hundred kilograms at a time.

It can be stored for 8 months without insects; 4. Freeze preservation method: Soak the fresh chestnuts in light salt water for 10 minutes to sterilize, remove the air-dried water; wrap it in a dry, air-tight plastic bag and tie it tightly, add a non-water-proof bag

Seal the crisper box to prevent it from contact with moisture; finally put it in the freezer of the refrigerator and let it sit for storage.

The principle of this method is to first use salt water to sterilize and inactivate, then air-dry the water to remove the possibility of secondary bacteria, and finally use a dry fresh-keeping bag and a water-free fresh-keeping box for secondary packaging to ensure that the final chestnuts are not in contact with outside air and moisture.

Chestnuts can be stored for up to one year.

Important tips for "preserving raw chestnuts": (1) When preserving raw chestnuts, it is better to wash them with salt water than with clean water. There are also many bacteria in the clean water. Washing the chestnuts will also leave a lot of bacteria. After that, whether it is sealed or ventilated, it will

(2) When storing chestnuts in ventilation, the room should not be too humid. It is best to place them in a ventilated room far away from the kitchen and toilet, so that the chestnut storage time is optimal, otherwise the storage time may be greatly shortened.
