How to store dragon fruit and storage precautions

1. Storage method

1. Place in a cool place: Generally, after buying the dragon fruit, you should place it in a cool place, do not let it see the sun, and the room temperature should not exceed 30℃. This way it can be stored for one to two weeks. If the temperature is relatively high, it is recommended to place it in the refrigerator, otherwise the high temperature will accelerate the deterioration of the fruit.

2. Refrigerate: If you want the dragon fruit to contain more water, you can refrigerate it. The temperature should be between 3-6 degrees. It can be stored for about 1 month.

3. Cut and refrigerate: If you have already cut the dragon fruit and want to preserve it, wrap it with plastic wrap first and then put it in a cool place. You can also wrap it in a plastic bag. But if it is left overnight, it needs to be placed in the refrigerator. If it has been cut, it is best not to store it for more than 2 days.

2. Precautions

1. When refrigerating dragon fruit, the temperature should not be lower than 1 degree. Too low a temperature will freeze it. Also, the dragon fruits should not be squeezed against each other, otherwise they will be more easily damaged.

2. If the dragon fruit you bought is not yet ripe, it is best not to refrigerate it, because it is very afraid of freezing. If it is placed in the refrigerator, black spots will easily appear or it will deteriorate.
