In the cold winter, when the wind is biting outside and everything is depressed, there is a lively scene deep in the cold storage. Various vegetables have settled here, sleeping quietly, waiting for them to see the light of day again. moment. Which vegetables can be stored in cold storage for a long time? Let’s find out together.
What I want to talk about is potatoes, the "backbone" in the storage industry. Potatoes have thick skin and flesh, and a low moisture content, so they can be stored in cold storage for up to several months. It is rich in starch and is an excellent choice for storing food in winter and can be used to make staple foods, side dishes and various snacks.
What cannot be ignored are the two "golden partners" of onions and garlic. Their spicy smell not only repels insects and prevents corrosion, but also inhibits the growth of bacteria, so they can be stored in cold storage for a long time. Onions can be used to stir-fry and stew soups, while garlic is a good helper for seasoning. Both are essential seasonings in the kitchen.
Rashes and carrots are also frequent visitors in cold storage. Radish is rich in water and has a crisp and sweet taste. It can be used for cold dressing, pickling or stew. Carrots are rich in carotene, which is good for eye health. They can be used in stir-fry, juiced or eaten raw.
There are many other vegetables that are also suitable for storage in cold storage, such as broccoli, broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, tomatoes, etc. These vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals and are an essential part of a healthy diet. When storing, pay attention to cleaning them and sealing them in fresh-keeping bags or boxes to reduce moisture loss.
It should be noted that not all vegetables are suitable for long-term storage. Some vegetables with high water content, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, etc., are prone to water loss and deterioration in cold storage, so they are not suitable for long-term storage.
In daily life, we can reasonably arrange cold storage storage according to the storage time and eating habits of vegetables to avoid waste. When we need a certain vegetable, we can take it out of the cold storage in advance and leave it at room temperature for a period of time to allow it to defrost naturally before eating. This can not only ensure the freshness of the vegetables, but also retain their nutrients to the maximum extent.
Cold storage is a treasure house for storing vegetables. We can make full use of it to extend the shelf life of vegetables. As long as we master the correct storage methods, we can eat fresh and delicious vegetables in the cold winter, which will protect our health.
