How to preserve the picked pitaya is a kind of fruit with low respiration rate. Because of its thick peel and wax protection, it is extremely resistant to storage and transportation. At the low temperature of 5 ~ 9℃, fresh pitaya can be stored for more than one month without extrusion or collision. At room temperature of 25 ~ 30℃, the shelf life can exceed 2 weeks.
It can be stored at room temperature for more than 15 days, and it can be stored for about one month if it is packaged and refrigerated. However, in high temperature season, pitaya must be placed in a cool place to cool down and cool down after harvesting, and stored in cold storage.
Pitaya is a tropical fruit. You'd better buy it now and eat it now. Some friends are used to saving half in the refrigerator. In fact, this preservation method is unscientific. Pitaya grows in tropical and subtropical areas for a long time, so it is afraid of low temperature. After being put into refrigerator, it is easy to get frostbite, its peel will droop and some dark brown spots will appear. Not only are nutrients destroyed, but they are also easy to deteriorate. In a few days, the flesh will turn brown and start to rot.
