Durian is loved by many people for its unique flavor and high nutritional value. However, in the hot summer, storing durian needs to be careful to keep it fresh and avoid premature damage.
Store in the refrigerator at the right temperature
storing durian in the refrigerator is an optimal effective method to maintain freshness in the summer. For ripe and peeled durian, it is necessary to store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 2 - 12°C, preferably below 15°C to ensure the same nutritional value.
Housewives should also note not to store durian in the freezer because when eaten, it will lose its original delicious flavor. Regularly controlling the temperature of the refrigerator will also help durian stay fresh and can be stored for 3 - 5 days without damage.
Packaging with film
To preserve fresh durian for longer in the summer, properly packaging is one of the important factors. After separating the durian bag, housewives should put it in an airtight container or vacuum cleaner, then carefully wrap it with a food wrap to avoid contact with air before putting it in the refrigerator.
This storage method not only prevents oxidation but also limits the smell of durian in the refrigerator. Wrapping the food with a film also helps maintain the natural moisture of durian, avoiding dryness or dehydration in the hot summer temperatures.
Separate and store separately
For ripe durian, instead of preserving the whole fruit, separate the bags and store them separately. This method will help better control the storage of durian and make it easier to use the individual parts.
Each durian bag after separation should be put into a plastic container with a cover. Dividing durian bags into big containers will prevent the refrigerator from giving off a characteristic smell.
No exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight
In hot summer, durian storage needs to pay special attention to avoid exposure to high temperatures as well as direct sunlight. Durian, if left in a space that is too hot, will quickly ripen and easily spoil.
Housewives should note to keep durian in a cool place, away from heat sources such as gas stoves, microwaves or sunroofed windows.
