Litchis are everyone’s favourite summer fruit! Though they get spoiled in a few days. Tap to know the five smart hacks to store them right.
Most of the fruits are washed before storing, but litchis are not. Do not wash litchis before storing, as moisture can lead to spoilage. You should only wash litchis before eating.
Do not use a plastic bag or an airtight container to store litchis, as they may spoil faster. Instead, store in a paper bag or a cloth bag made of breathable fabric.
Place the bunch of litchis in the refrigerator. The refrigerator has a cool temperature, which helps to retain the taste and texture of litchis. It keeps them juicy for a week.
You must have noticed that shopkeepers do not break the stems of litchis. After breaking the stem, litchis start to spoil faster than before.
If you also store something and forget it later, don’t do that with litchis. Keep a regular check for spoilage and consume those that are ripe and about to expire.
