Fruit is one food that we know must be present in our daily diet because it gives us plenty of vitamins and nutrients needed for proper functioning of the body. It is true that when choosing fruit at our disposal different varieties, but one thing we should be clear is that the fruit should be in a good state to be well digested by the body and maximize the nutrient that gives us. Therefore we will see some tips to conserve it.
The fruit is a container of vitamins and minerals, but also has high amounts of fructose, a naturally occurring sugar. These nutrients vary depending on the ripeness of the fruit. At first, the fruit contains less sugar, but as it matures and spending time what happens is that they increase the amounts of sugars and decrease of vitamins. It is therefore necessary to consume when sweet palate, but still retains much of its vitamins.
It is true that when a fruit is greener vitamin content is very good, but is not suitable for human consumption, it is not palatable, as well as being indigestible in most cases, it gives us lots of gas and other intestinal disturbances because of their immaturity. The idea is to eat the fruit in a condition but it is sometimes impossible because we buy too much and just keep going and. This is necessary to present some points that will lengthen the life of the fruit.
First we find the right place to store the fruit. This site must be ventilated and cool site that allows several things at once. First, the ventilation will prevent the accumulation of ethylene and the fruit gets bad before. Ethylene is formed indoors where the air does not circulate, and is the trigger for the fruit to pass. The coolness will help preserve the state of the fruit, as the heat does is hasten the maturation and with it the disappearance of the fruit.
Keep them in a container of natural fibers such as wicker, allowing your perspiration is ideal. To do this we must remove them from the plastic containers that prevent the transpiration of fruits, constantly expel moisture. Containers create a catalyst that accelerates the decomposition process, since not create moisture and mold perspire and thus the premature destruction of the fruit.
Often the fruit we buy is too green and cannot eat, so it is necessary to accelerate the ripening process. To do what we do is mix the green fruit with a mature specimen that produces ethylene and thus accelerates the ripening process of other pieces of fruit.
In the case of wanting to delay the ripening of the fruit to keep it longer so we must do is keep them in the fridge, but sometimes this is not the best solution, since there wet or too cold coolers have just accelerating the process of maturation. It is therefore necessary to control the humidity of the refrigerator and the temperature of the fruit to cold and burned not end without being able to eat it.
