What is the secret to preserving sweet potatoes from sprouting?

There are three ways to preserve sweet potatoes from sprouting: sealed in a carton, sealed in newspaper, and frozen.

1. Use the carton to seal and store.

Generally, sweet potatoes sprout because the surface of sweet potatoes is too wet, especially some sweet potatoes still have moist soil on the surface, and this kind of sweet potatoes are easier to sprout. Therefore, if we want to make the preserved sweet potatoes not sprout, first we have to put the prepared sweet potatoes under the sun for a few days until the mud on the surface of the sweet potatoes is dry, then we prepare a large carton, and then prepare a few large newspapers, and then spread a newspaper on the bottom layer of the large carton, then put the dried sweet potatoes in it, cover a newspaper, and repeat the previous actions several times in turn until the carton is full, and finally put a newspaper on the top layer, After sealing the carton, it is enough to ventilate it in a dry place so that the sweet potatoes do not sprout.

2. Sealed and stored with newspapers.

Another way to keep sweet potatoes from germinating is to dry the surface of the sweet potatoes first, and then bring some newspapers after the sweet potatoes are dried, take one of the newspapers and spread them on the ground, put two or three sweet potatoes, and then wrap them and put them in a dry place. Repeat this for the other sweet potatoes in turn. Because the newspaper has the function of absorbing moisture, so that the sweet potatoes do not sprout.

Isn't this a simple method?

3. Frozen storage.

If it is a sweet potato that needs to be preserved in the short term, and if you want to make it not sprout, we can wash the sweet potato first, then remove the skin of the sweet potato, and finally cut the sweet potato into pieces, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Such sweet potatoes will not sprout after 3 to 5 days.

The above is the way to preserve sweet potatoes from germinating, either sealed in a carton, sealed with newspaper, or frozen in a refrigerator These methods of preserving sweet potatoes will not sprout. Friends who agree with the above methods can give it a try.

1. Use toilet paper.

Wrap the sweet potatoes.

The first way to preserve sweet potatoes is to wrap them in toilet paper.

Why are you doing this?

This is because toilet paper is dry and absorbs moisture from the air, which prevents the sweet potatoes from being soaked with moisture, thus keeping them fresh and less likely to rot and sprout.

The specific method is to wrap the sweet potato with two pieces of toilet paper, try not to let the skin of the sweet potato contact the air, and then find a clean bag to pack the sweet potato wrapped in toilet paper, discharge the air inside, and then pierce the seal of the bag. In this way, even if you buy a lot of sweet potatoes at one time, you are not afraid of spoiling.

Sweet potato. 2. Store the sweet potatoes in a cardboard box.

The second way is to use cardboard boxes to preserve sweet potatoes. I naturally have my own reasons for doing this, because cartons and toilet paper also have a good moisture-proof effect, and can also keep warm, with cartons can also save more sweet potatoes, put a year and a half is not easy to spoil, sweet potatoes taste more sweet and delicious.

The specific way to do this is to prepare a dry paper box first, then put an old dry towel or paper into the bottom of the box, and then place the sweet potatoes neatly on the dry towel, paying attention to the small pores between the sweet potatoes and trying not to let them clump together.

Once you've done that, place an old towel or paper on top of the sweet potato.

If you have a lot of sweet potatoes at home, you can put them on this towel or paper again.

Then seal the box and store it in a cool, dry place.

Sweet potato. 3. Use plastic wrap.

Wrap the sweet potatoes.

The last method requires the use of plastic wrap, which can be used to wrap the sweet potatoes and then put them in the refrigerator, which can also prevent the water of the sweet potatoes from evaporating, so that the sweet potatoes can stay fresh for a period of time and store them for a longer time.

The specific method is to tear off the plastic wrap and wrap the sweet potatoes one by one, try to wrap the sweet potatoes completely tightly, and also expel the air inside. Then put the sweet potatoes wrapped in plastic wrap in a bag and put them in the refrigerator at home for preservation, this method is suitable for when there are not too many sweet potatoes, if you buy more sweet potatoes, you can use the above two methods.

Sweet potato.

First of all, the temperature should be controlled, the temperature is set at about 23, and photosynthesis is also needed, drainage and ventilation are also needed, and then it is also necessary to loosen the soil in time, maintain the permeability of the soil, spray some pesticides regularly, and remove insect pests in time.

We can choose to put the sweet potatoes in a place where there is no soil, try to be a confined space, so that it will not germinate easily, and it must be a shady place.

In such a situation, I think we should choose high-quality varieties, and then we should also water and fertilize in time, pay attention to the growth cycle, maintain the right temperature, and control the temperature at about 20, and also need to loosen the soil in time, maintain the permeability of the soil, and do a good job of drainage and ventilation.

Storing sweet potatoes in a cool, dry place can generally be stored for a longer period of time without germination. If you want sweet potatoes not to sprout, you need to control the temperature and humidity of the storage environment, if the temperature and high humidity are suitable, sweet potatoes will sprout quickly, it is best to store the temperature at about 15 degrees Celsius, humidity of about 50% in the environment.

If the sweet potato has small sprouts, it is still edible, and it does not produce harmful substances, but its nutrients will be lost in large quantities after germination, and the taste is poor.

Sweet potatoes should also not be placed in a ventilated place, such as a place where there is excessive wind, and if placed in such a place, the water of the sweet potato will be lost a lot.

Try not to buy too many sweet potatoes in spring and summer, sweet potatoes sprout easily because the temperature and humidity are relatively high in spring and summer.

1. It can be stored in a wooden box. Sweet potatoes themselves are very afraid of cold, when the temperature is low, it will be frozen, and then form a hard heart, steamed is not cooked and buried and boiled not rotten, if it is above 18 degrees for a long time, it will sprout again. The room temperature should be set to about 14 degrees.

Also take care to prevent the temperature from suddenly getting high, or suddenly getting low. When sweet potatoes are damp, it is easy to cause germs to attack and cause rot. Therefore, it should be stored in a breathable wooden crate.

2. Sweet potatoes can be dried and preserved. First, the sweet potatoes are steamed, then each piece is cut into three to four slices, and then placed in a sunny place, on the house, ventilated, and dry for drying. After the sweet potato is steamed, the water evaporates slowly, and it takes a long time to dry, so be careful not to be exposed to rain.

After drying, store it indoors in a dry place. Wash with water before eating and steam.

3. Newspaper preservation. You can wrap it in newspaper and put it in a cool place, so that it can be stored for about 3-4 weeks. However, before wrapping it in newspaper, you should also spread the sweet potato on the newspaper to bask in the sun, and then wrap it up for preservation, which can increase the sweetness of the sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are preserved without germination and not rotten method:

The first method: carton preservation method.

First of all, we have to choose sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes in the process of harvesting and transportation will inevitably have bumps, these bumps and broken skin of sweet potatoes do not affect the taste, but when preserving, we must pay attention to this kind of sweet potatoes with broken skin and black spots rotten must be picked out to eat first, because such sweet potatoes are easy to spoil, and will pollute other sweet potatoes, affect the storage time of sweet potatoes, don't let "a stinky fish ruin a pot of soup".

Second, drying, after the sweet potato is selected, do not store it directly, but add one more step to dry, the purpose is to dry the moisture on its surface, so that the sweet potato is not easy to spoil and can be stored for a longer time. In addition, dried sweet potatoes will convert a part of the starch into sugar under the action of amylase, so the taste of dried sweet potatoes will be sweeter.

3. Packing, take a carton, first spread a layer of plastic paper at the bottom, then spread a towel on it, and then put the sweet potatoes on the towel one by one, leave a certain gap between the sweet potatoes and the sweet potatoes, do not crowd too full, and do not stack them to avoid bruises, and finally fold the towel to cover the sweet potatoes, seal the carton and put it in a cool place to store it.

Plastic paper has a moisture-proof effect, paper strips and towels have good moisture absorption, can keep the surface of sweet potatoes dry, sweet potatoes want to germinate, need to be temperature and temperature, conditions can not be reached, naturally will not sprout.

How to put sweet potatoes without sprouting can use soda, because beating is alkaline, and putting it together with sweet potatoes can prevent sweet potatoes from sprouting. The carton can not only protect the sweet potatoes from light, but also absorb moisture and maintain a dry environment for the sweet potatoes, so that when we save the sweet potatoes, we can isolate the water, so that the sweet potatoes will not sprout and mold.
