After the sweet potato germinates, because its nutrition and water will be consumed in large quantities, it will not only taste bad, but also reduce its nutritional value. Therefore, everyone must eat sweet potatoes in time, and it is a pity to wait until they germinate again.
Matters needing attention in sweet potato storage
It should be noted that in order to better store sweet potatoes, before entering the cellar, sweet potatoes should be inspected one by one, and then some fruits, such as scratches, frostbite, diseases and so on, should be picked out. Put the selected sweet potatoes into the sweet potato cellar in turn. Don't pile the sweet potatoes too high. Generally, the height in the sweet potato cellar is 2/3. Too high height or too much storage will lead to the increase of carbon dioxide in sweet potato cellar, which will lead to the inability of sweet potato to breathe normally.
In order to better store sweet potatoes, the humidity of sweet potato pits is also particularly important. In the early stage of sweet potato storage, the humidity in the cellar should be about 85%. In the middle period of sweet potato storage, the humidity in the cellar is about 90%. After the Spring Festival, the humidity of sweet potato pits should be around 85%.
