Whenever a festival comes, the sales of mooncakes are undoubtedly the highest, and families are faced with the problem of "mooncake disaster". Leftover mooncakes have become a sweet burden after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is a pity to discard them. How can we cope with the problem and turn it into a treasure?

Scientific storage of leftover mooncakes is more conducive to the taste and flavor

Many people will eat the rest of the mooncakes into the refrigerator, thinking that this will allow the mooncakes to remain fresh, in fact, this practice is unscientific. Mooncakes are pastries made with ingredients such as flour, oil, sugar and nuts and baked. Baked goods are not suitable for storage in the refrigerator. Although for some varieties of mooncakes, putting them in the refrigerator can extend their shelf life, it will still affect their flavor. This is because the starch in the mooncake ingredients cooks and becomes soft after baking, and at low temperatures, the cooked starch will precipitate moisture and become aged, making the mooncake hard and less tasty. Storage of moon cakes is best placed indoors in a cool, dry place, be careful not to store too long, bulk moon cakes can be placed three or five days; there are independent small packages, or packages with preservative packets of moon cakes, can be stored for about ten days.
