What a shame to waste the fruit (clementine) rich in vitamins! Fortunately, there are some tips for long-term storage. And how long can you keep it? Here are simple and effective tips to not waste that fruit and save money.
wooden basket
- Perhaps the ideal move would be to place it in a small basket of perforated wood.
- This allows air to pass between the fruits and prevents them from spoiling and rotting too quickly…
- Clementine hates keeping them in an airtight container. Wood is a natural material that does not damage citrus peels like iron.
Avoid direct sunlight and moisture
- Once you find the right basket, you need to find the best place to put it. I will give you my advice: M
- First, you have to stay away from direct sunlight, as it will speed up the ripening of the fruit.
- It is best to keep baskets away from windows. After that, it is preferable to choose a dry and windless place, as the fruits will rot faster if exposed to moist air.
- You must have realized that oranges are best kept in the best conditions in the kitchen.
- Storage period: 8 to 10 days.
Fridge
- We suggest putting it in the vegetable drawer first. Because it’s the coldest place in the fridge, which means the fruit won’t get affected.
- Just avoid taking it out of the fridge and putting it back in every day, because here you will suffer from heat shock.
- Another trick is to store them in a well-ventilated container or perforated nylon bag. This allows for better air circulation. This way the fruits don’t bump into each other and get damaged.
- Storage period: about 12 to 15 days.
Choose fruit that is in good shape
You have to touch and look at each bean before you buy it. This is necessary in order to preserve it in the long run, even if it takes longer.
