The Vegetable Ice Refrigerator Quickly Rots And Grows Spots? Experts Remind That Green Vegetables That Need To Be Kept Fresh For A Long Time Cannot Be Piled With These Fruits

Why did the green vegetables turn yellow and brown spots soon after being kept in the refrigerator? The nutritionist reminded that vegetables and fruits should not be "sent for piles"! If you don't eat it right away and want to keep it for 2 or 3 days, don't put it together with apples, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables that need to be ripened, otherwise it will quickly turn yellow and rot.

Fruits that need to be ripe will produce ethylene, which can cause brown spots on greens.

Recently, greens are very cheap. Many housewives often like to buy enough vegetables and fruits at a time. It was found that some vegetables had brown spots and turned yellow earlier. Huang Shuhui, a nutritionist at the Post Hospital, reminded that if you want to put green vegetables that are cooked for a few more days, never put them together with apples, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables that need to be ripened. These fruits and vegetables will release ethylene, which will cause the greens to grow brown spots.

Ethylene is a natural ripening agent, which will accelerate ripening

Huang Shuhui said that in the past, fruits that needed post-ripening after picking often required an "electric soil" composed of calcium carbide, adding water to produce acetylene gas to accelerate ripening, or ethylene generation. to dehydrate the alcohol to produce ethylene gas for ripening. Fruits such as apples, bananas, peaches, plums, mangoes, persimmons, papayas, watermelons, tomatoes, blueberries, passion fruits, kiwis, pears, apricots, avocados, figs, chard, durians, etc., will produce ethylene themselves. Like "natural ripening agents", other foods can easily accelerate their ripening when they are placed with them.

Avocados and bananas are too green and want to ripen quickly, so they can be stacked with apples

Generally, if the purchased bananas are too green, but you are in a hurry to eat them, your mother will use the bananas and applesPacking the bag together, the bananas are usually ripe the next morning, or putting greener bananas with already ripe bananas can also speed up the ripening of bananas. The "cream of the forest" avocado that everyone loves to lose weight now is usually green when bought, and it takes many days to eat. But remember that the fruits that need to be ripened should not be put in the refrigerator before they are ripe, otherwise it will affect their after-ripening, and if they are rotten, the pulp will still be green and unpalatable.
