It is recommended to store mangosteen in the refrigerator. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit. Although its shell is thick and not easy to rot, the mangosteen shell has many small holes and is prone to drying and deterioration, so it should not be stored at room temperature. After you buy hawthorn, it is recommended to put it in the refrigerator. This can also extend the storage time of the mangosteen and will not cause the mangosteen to harden. If the refrigerator temperature is too short, it will easily cause the mangosteen to freeze or frostbite. It is generally not recommended to put it in the refrigerator.

If the mangosteen you buy at home is stored at room temperature, it can be stored for about five days. If the mangosteen is stored properly, it can generally be stored for about ten days. However, mangosteen is easier to dry. If stored for a long time, the flavor will decrease and the taste will be worse. Some of them will deteriorate and become inedible. So try not to buy too much at one time. It is best to buy as you eat.

Let me introduce to you in detail how to preserve mangosteen: 1. Store it in the refrigerator. Mangosteen itself is a hot fruit. We all know that hot food is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator, but mangosteen is a exception. Mangosteen is better stored in the refrigerator. This reduces the loss of water in the mangosteen, is more conducive to retaining its nutrients, and tastes better. 2. Sealed storage It is better to seal the mangosteen. First put the mangosteen in a plastic bag and then place it in a low-temperature cellar. There is less oxygen in the cellar, which can not only retain the delicious taste of mangosteen, but also better lock in the nutrients of mangosteen, and the storage time will be longer.

By the way, let me explain to you how to choose mangosteen?

1. Look at the appearance of mangosteen. Regardless of the peels of different varieties, a fresh mangosteen is easier to identify based on its appearance. The fresh mangosteen fruit pedicle is green, with a lot of yellow juice on the fruit pedicle. Don't think that juice is dirty. This is a sign of whether the mangosteen is mature. If there is a lot of yellow juice, it means the mangosteen is immature and of poor quality. Not recommended.

2. Look at the sepals of mangosteen. The sepals at the bottom of the mangosteen determine the amount of mangosteen pulp. I think people who often eat mangosteen must know this trick. Because the characteristic of mangosteen is that the number of pulp slices and the number of sepals are 1:1. In other words, if you want to eat more mangosteen pulp, when choosing mangosteen, you must look at the number of sepals at the bottom of the mangosteen. The more the better.

3. Touch the hardness of mangosteen. Judging the quality of mangosteen peel by its hardness is also a practical skill! The mangosteen peel is too hard and too soft to be called high-quality fresh mangosteen. If the mangosteen peel feels soft and elastic when pressed with two fingers, the mangosteen is fresh. If it’s too soft, it’s not fresh enough. If it's too hard, it's probably bad fruit.

4. Look at the eyes of mangosteens

Warm reminder: Although mangosteen is delicious, it can easily deteriorate if stored improperly. In daily life, you can store the purchased mangosteens in the refrigerator, which is very convenient for storage and tastes very good, but it should not be left for too long, otherwise the mangosteens will not taste good.
