Don't put the moon cakes you can't finish in the refrigerator. I'll teach you a way to put them in the Spring Festival.
Moon cakes are a traditional holiday food in China, symbolizing reunion. So every year on this festival, everyone will buy some or make some more or less. Visiting relatives and friends is also a good gift for each other. With the improvement of people's living standards, there are endless moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and there are various moon cakes on the market. The shelf life of different moon cakes is also different, from 6 days long to more than ten days short. If it is a packaged moon cake, the shelf life is a little longer, because a little preservative is added inside. Nowadays, many people are mooncakes that are processed by cake shops. This kind of mooncake contains no preservatives, and it will be kept for a short time, and if it is not properly kept, it will be very easy to deteriorate. Today, I will talk to you about the tips for preserving moon cakes.
If the mooncakes are individually packaged, they can be stored in a cool and ventilated place. But nowadays, many people make them themselves or process them outside. Such mooncakes are generally not individually packaged, so many people will store them directly in the refrigerator, which is actually wrong. If stored directly in the refrigerator, the oil and sugar on the surface of moon cakes will go bad very easily, because the humidity inside the refrigerator is relatively high, and it will go bad after being stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
We can wrap the moon cakes individually with plastic wrap, then put them in the plastic wrap, seal them and put them in the refrigerator. If possible, you can put a desiccant in the fresh-keeping bag. Some people may say that desiccant can't be bought. In fact, desiccant is very easy to get now. Sometimes there is desiccant in the bagged food we buy in the supermarket. After eating it, we can put it in the fresh-keeping bag of moon cakes, which will last a little longer. In this way, moon cakes can be kept for 2 days. If you want to keep them for a longer time, you can put them in the freezer for freezing, so it is no problem to keep them in the New Year.
Finally, I would like to remind you that there is no way to keep the mooncakes with frosted skin in the refrigerator, because unlike other mooncakes, they are frozen, so we should keep them in the freezer and take them out directly when we eat them.
