It is difficult to imagine New Year's holidays without the bright aroma of tangerines.
Still, other citrus fruits don't have the same effect on mood.
Some housewives prefer to prepare for events in advance and stock up on tangerines.
But it is important to keep in mind that in this case you need to think about how and where it is best to store fruit before the holidays.
How to store tangerines in an apartment
The fruits will not be able to lie for a long time because they do not tolerate dry winter air. Therefore, it is better to leave only those fruits at room temperature that will soon be on the table.
The optimal storage time under these conditions is 10 days.
How to store tangerines in the cellar
Citrus fruits can be stored in such conditions for up to a month or more.
But you need to remember about additional conditions.
For example, each fruit must first be wrapped in craft paper.
Then they can be placed in a wooden box, but the tangerines should not be packed too tightly.
How to Store Tangerines on the Balcony
You can leave tangerines on the balcony if it is closed and insulated. Snow, additional humidity and frost will only spoil the citrus fruits faster. In addition, the fruits should not be exposed to sunlight.
How to Store Tangerines in the Refrigerator
Fruits should be kept in a special section. However, you cannot use film or a bag, otherwise condensation will accumulate, which will eventually lead to the appearance of mold.
In addition, you should not leave bananas and apples nearby, as they reduce the shelf life of other fruits.
