Although October is a good season for eating chestnuts, if you buy too many chestnuts at one time or even grow them yourself, you will definitely not be able to finish them all for a while, so at this time we have to think Here are some ways to store chestnuts. This chestnut must not be boiled when stored. The more moisture a boiled chestnut has, the easier it is to spoil. Therefore, it is necessary to store the chestnuts raw. So is there any good way to preserve raw chestnuts for a long time without spoiling? Of course there is an answer, and Lin will share it with you one by one below.

How to store raw chestnuts for a long time?

I would like to share with you 4 methods of preserving raw chestnuts that are more suitable for home operations, as follows:

1. Refrigerated storage method: first soak the fresh chestnuts in light salt water for 10 minutes. Sterilize, then take it out and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally;

Take a dry fresh-keeping bag or fresh-keeping box, seal it tightly, and finally put it in the refrigerator.

This method is the most common method of preserving raw chestnuts at home. The principle is to use salt water to sterilize the chestnut surface to inactivate bacteria, then dry the water to prevent bacteria from surviving, and finally vacuum seal it to isolate the air. Three-step isolation can effectively achieve long-term storage of bacteria. This method can preserve raw chestnuts for up to 2 months without parasites;

2. Ventilation preservation method: put fresh chestnuts in concentrated Wash with salt water for 3 minutes, dry the water with a towel, put it in a sieve basin and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally;

Then put it in a dry mesh bag or clean sack and place it in a ventilated place Just save it anywhere.

This method is suitable for the preservation of small quantities of chestnuts. The principle is to use salt to sterilize and inactivate, then reduce the bacteria-producing ability through air drying, and finally store them in a dry and water-free ventilated place. Since they may still be exposed to air moisture, Therefore, this method can only preserve chestnuts for about 1 month at most;

3. Earthen jar storage method: Soak fresh chestnuts in light salt water for 10 minutes to sterilize, and at the same time clean the inside of the jar and place them in the sun Let the water dry under the ground or in a ventilated place;

Then take a clean dry sack, put all the chestnuts into it and tie it tightly;

Put it into a clay jar, and cover it with a stone Or compress it with heavy objects and save it like this.

This method is suitable for farmers with large quantities to preserve. The principle is to use the bactericidal ability of salt water to first inactivate various bacteria on the surface of chestnuts, then dry all the water so that bacteria have no living conditions, and finally use clean Tie the bag tightly and seal it to ensure that no other air moisture and bacteria enter. Finally, use the lid to press it for a second time to strengthen the sealing. In this way, a large amount of chestnuts can be stored for a long time. The principle is similar to that of salt storage. As long as the jar is large, it can be stored once at most. It can be stored for several hundred kilograms and can be stored for up to 8 months without worms;

4. Freezing preservation method: Soak fresh chestnuts in light salt water for 10 minutes to sterilize, remove and air-dry the water;

Wrap it in a dry airtight plastic bag and tie it tightly, seal it with a water-proof plastic box to prevent it from contact with moisture;

Finally, place it in the freezer of the refrigerator and let it sit for storage.

The principle of this method is to sterilize and inactivate with salt water first, then air-dry the water to remove the possibility of secondary bacteria, and finally use a dry fresh-keeping bag and a non-water-proof fresh-keeping box for secondary packaging to ensure that the final chestnuts are not mixed with The outside air and moisture are in contact, so the chestnuts can be stored for about a year at most.

Important tips for "preserving raw chestnuts":

(1) When preserving raw chestnuts, it is better to wash them with salt water than with clean water. There are also many bacteria in the clean water, and the chestnuts will also be damaged after washing them. A lot of bacteria are left behind, and insects are likely to grow later whether it is sealed or ventilated. Washing with salt water can sterilize, and it is best to boil the water and let it cool down, which is the most secure.

(2) When storing chestnuts in ventilation, the room should not be too humid. It is best to place them in a ventilated room far away from the kitchen and toilet, so that the chestnut storage time is optimal, otherwise the storage time may be greatly shortened.

(3) No matter which method of preserving chestnuts, the core is that the chestnuts should not be stained with water, and the surface should not be too wet. Keeping these two points in mind, the method can be learned and applied more flexibly.
