In fact, it does not have to be stored in the refrigerator, but it can be stored. It is also best in the refrigerator. This kind of apple is easy to store. As long as the environment temperature is not very high, it can be stored for about a week, but the longer the process, the nutrient substances of the apple will be lost, and the more water will be Decrease, and may be contaminated by bacteria.

This special quality of apples is particularly easy to react with oxygen in the air, so we can wrap the cut apples in paper or plastic bags. This can effectively isolate the air. It is called the air isolation method, but we can’t use plastic wrap for the things we use to wrap apples, because some materials in the wrap will react with certain substances in the apple to produce toxins. Human body is very harmful. Or we can also put the apples in salt water, the concentration of the salt water should be relatively light, so as to ensure that the rock sugar heart apples do not turn yellow.

Make a bowl of water, drip a few drops of lemon juice, and dip the cut apple in it for a while. It can also be placed in water. Put the apple in the refrigerator and keep it cold. Take care to pack it well and keep it away from the air. In a cold environment, its oxidation rate will be much slower.

But don't leave it for too long. If you leave it for too long, you can't eat it even if it doesn't change color.
