1, dark storage method
Plants can't grow without light, temperature and water, and potatoes are no exception, so we should prevent potatoes from sprouting and block these necessary factors. First of all, we can choose to keep potatoes in the dark. First, we put potatoes in plastic bags, tie them tightly and isolate the air. Then we put the plastic bags in a black bag and store them in a cool and ventilated place. Without light, potatoes can't carry out photosynthesis, so they won't sprout.
2. Apple preservation method
Apples can release a substance called ethylene, which can ripen fruits and inhibit the growth of plant buds, so we can use the ethylene released from apples to prevent potatoes from sprouting. We choose a plastic bag, put potatoes and an apple in it at the same time, then tie the plastic bag tightly and store it in a cool, ventilated and dark place. After eating the potatoes, we can eat the apples, and it doesn't matter.
3, baking soda preservation method
Baking soda is a seasoning in our kitchen and is often used in our daily life. Baking soda has a strong adsorption, so we can use this characteristic of baking soda to preserve potatoes.
Take a piece of paper, sprinkle a proper amount of baking soda, then wrap it, put it in a plastic bag with potatoes, and tie it tightly. Baking soda can keep potatoes in a dry environment without water, which can also inhibit potatoes from sprouting. To be on the safe side, we still store potatoes in a cool, ventilated and dark environment.
4, refrigerator preservation method
When it comes to light and moisture, another factor is temperature, and temperature is also an important factor for potato sprouting. Therefore, we can choose to put potatoes in a low temperature environment to inhibit their long buds. In general, our refrigerator has limited space, and this storage method is only suitable for a relatively small amount of potatoes.
5, carton preservation method
Prepare a clean carton, put some newspapers or waste paper on the bottom, and then sprinkle some baking soda to absorb moisture and prevent moisture. Put the potatoes that need to be preserved in a carton and put them in order, then spread newspapers on the surface of the potatoes, sprinkle some baking soda, and stack them, and put all the potatoes that need to be preserved in the carton.
Finally, seal the carton and put it in a ventilated and dry place to preserve the potatoes. Eating and taking them at any time can prevent the potatoes from sprouting and turning green.
