How long can snow pear keep after being cut

Snow pear can be stored for about 2 hours at room temperature after being cut, and can be stored for 1-2 days in cold storage. The storage time is affected by the storage environment, section processing method, snow pear maturity and other factors.

snow pear will accelerate oxidative deterioration when exposed to air after being cut. Bacteria multiply rapidly in a normal temperature environment, and the loss of moisture from the cut surface can cause the flesh to become soft and yellow. It is recommended to consume it as soon as possible or seal and refrigerate it. When refrigerating, it is necessary to tightly wrap the cut surface with cling film to reduce contact with air, which can delay oxidation and inhibit microbial growth. If there is obvious discoloration, stickiness or odor on the cut surface, it is not edible.

snow pear with high maturity is more likely to breed bacteria due to its high sugar content, and its storage time is relatively short. The oxidation speed of the immature snow pear is slow after cutting, but the taste is hard. It is recommended to store it in the upper compartment of the refrigerator during refrigeration, with a temperature of around 4 ℃ being more suitable. If the storage time needs to be extended, the cut snow pear can be soaked in light salt water for 10 minutes, drained and refrigerated. This method can slow down browning but may affect the taste.

For daily use, it is recommended to cut snow pear and eat it now to avoid long-term storage. In case of preservation, complete snow pear is preferred for low-temperature storage. The cut snow pear should not be taken out repeatedly for temperature recovery, because temperature fluctuation will accelerate the deterioration. People with spleen and stomach deficiency cold should avoid eating snow pear after cold storage, and can cut it into pieces and warm it slightly before eating. Snow pear is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Eating a proper amount of snow pear will help to moisten the dryness and produce saliva.
