How to keep Myrica rubra fresh for a long time There are many Myrica rubra recently.

Methods of prolonging the fresh-keeping time of waxberry;

1. Refrigerate

In order to ensure the quality and flavor of Myrica rubra and prolong its shelf life, Myrica rubra can be stored in a refrigerator at 0-0.5℃ and relative humidity of 85%-90%.

Reminder: Yangmei must not be cleaned and stored.

Step 2 soak bayberry in wine

After fresh bayberry is washed, wait for water stains to dry naturally, then put the wine and bayberry together in a container according to the ratio of 1 kg bayberry to 4-5 kg white wine, and then seal it. To make white wine of Yangmei wine, it must be highly alcoholic. Generally speaking, the alcohol content should be above 45 degrees.

Myrica rubra and white wine can be eaten in a closed container for about 20 days. Wine can be drunk directly, and bayberry soaked in wine for more than 20 days can also be eaten directly. Yangmei wine tastes better when it is fresh; Chen Yangmei wine, which has been used for more than half a year, has another advantage. Yangmei in Yangmei wine can dispel summer heat and deal with diarrhea.

3。 Frozen bayberry

Wash the fresh bayberry and put it in a food plastic bag. Then seal it and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator. It is best to freeze bayberry into ice.

Sun-dried bayberry

In a big plate or washbasin, put a lot of fine salt and a little sugar, put clean bayberry in it, and keep shaking the plate so that every bayberry is covered with salt and sugar as much as possible.

Then put the bayberry with salt and sugar in a thick food packaging bag and bury it in the soil. As little as 20 days, as much as 30 days, and then take it out and dry it-generally speaking, if the temperature and humidity are high, the time of burying it in the soil can be less.
