Radish has chaff heart because the water in radish has evaporated. When it comes to evaporation, we naturally think of temperature. Yes, because the temperature is too high, it accelerates the aerobic respiration of radish and consumes nutrients in the body. Therefore, radish must pay attention to two points during storage, one is temperature and the other is humidity. Mastering these two points can basically prevent radish chaff.
When storing radishes, many farmers will find that the stored radishes begin to sprout slowly. In fact, this is also caused by high temperature. After the radish germinates, water and nutrients will be transferred from the fleshy roots to the radish. Because it consumes a lot of nutrients and water, it is easy to cause radish chaff, and radish with chaff heart will taste bad.
Cellar 1
The cellar storage method is suitable for friends living in rural areas and is convenient to store. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can be stored in the cellar. Generally, when we pull out radishes, the temperature is higher during the day and lower at night, but the temperature in the cellar is also higher. At this time, if we put the radish directly in the cellar, it will easily lead to radish rot. Therefore, in order to prevent the radish from freezing and rotting, we can bury the radish in the soil first, but not too deep. When the cellar gets cold, we can put the radish in the cellar. Generally, the storage temperature of radish is similar to that of Chinese cabbage, ranging from zero to two degrees. If conditions permit, we can fill sand between neatly packed radishes, which can keep the humidity of radishes well and reduce the aerobic respiration of radishes. You can also dig a deep pit outdoors to store things.
2, plastic bag preservation
In addition to friends living in the countryside who store carrots in winter, many people living in cities also like to eat carrots in winter, because this kind of radish has the reputation of small ginseng. But living in a city without a cellar, I want to buy more radishes when they are cheap. What should I do? Actually, just put it in a plastic bag. We put the radish we bought directly into a plastic bag, tie the mouth tightly, and keep the storage temperature between zero and three degrees. If the temperature is too high and there is a lot of water vapor in it, we should open the bag mouth in time to ventilate and exhaust, so as not to cause radish rot. Generally, it can be kept for about a month.
