However, many housewives have the habit of keeping butter in the refrigerator for a long time to keep the butter fresh for a long time. In fact, storing avocado in the refrigerator for too long can cause many harmful effects, affecting both the quality and nutritional value of this fruit.
Low temperatures in the refrigerator can disrupt the natural ripening process of avocados. Avocado is a fruit that continues to ripen after harvest thanks to ethylene gas. When placed in a cold environment too early or too long, the butter is cooked unevenly. The outside may be soft but the inside is still stiff, stiff and tasteless.
leaving the butter in the refrigerator for a long time can easily change the texture of the fruit. The avocado meat can become scaly, mushy or darkened due to cell damage under the impact of low temperatures. When used, avocados no longer have their characteristic smoothness and flexibility but tend to be unattractive, making it difficult to process into dishes such as smoothies or salads.
In addition, storing them for too long also reduces the nutritional content of avocados. Vitamins sensitive to temperature and light, such as vitamin C, a part of vitamin B, may be depleted over time. Although avocado still provides good fats, the overall nutritional value is no longer guaranteed as when using fresh, naturally cooked avocado at room temperature.
Another reason that few housewives expect is that butter is very easy to absorb the smell of other foods in the refrigerator. If not covered, avocados can be covered with a fish sauce or a strong smell of cooked food, causing loss of the original flavor. The high humidity in the refrigerator also creates conditions for mold to grow if the butter has been crushed or cracked.
When buying avocados to add to the family diet, in addition to choosing dark green, slightly rough, and yellow-plate spots ( wax butter, sticky rice), housewives should only buy in moderation because leaving avocados in the refrigerator for a long time is not the optimal way to preserve them.
It is best to let the butter cook naturally at room temperature. Only put it in the refrigerator for a short time when the butter is fully cooked and it is necessary to slow down the deterioration process.
