How to enjoy peaches that soften after 2-3 days on July 10th (Wednesday) and eat them sweeter for a longer time

Peaches are a representative summer fruit. The seasonal peaches, harvested from mid-June to mid-August, are juicy and sweet~~ However, peaches have a drawback in that they produce a aging hormone called ethylene inside, which causes them to soften easily, making long-term storage difficult.

Since peaches are sensitive to moisture, they ripen quickly, spoil easily, and attract insects. Let's learn how to store peaches to keep them delicious for a longer time~^^

Thinking that keeping peaches fresh for a longer time is good, but storing them immediately in the refrigerator is a big no-no!! If you keep peaches cold in the fridge from the start, their sweetness decreases, and the juice dries out, causing them to lose their original flavor and aromaㅠㅠ

To enjoy peaches deliciously, it's best to store them at room temperature in a cool, well-ventilated place. Peaches are a climacteric fruit and should be stored at room temperature to fully enjoy their unique sweetness, but storing them at room temperature can cause them to ripen too quickly or become soft, so it is recommended to consume them within 2-3 days.

If it is difficult to eat within 2-3 days, it is helpful to store it in the refrigerator after blocking moisture, and wrapping the peaches in newspaper or kitchen towels and sealing them in a zipper bag can help preserve them for a longer period.

However, peaches are sensitive to moisture, so they should not be washed before storage.

Peaches stored in the refrigerator should be taken out and left at room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before eating. When peaches are refrigerated, their sweetness decreases, but if left at room temperature before eating, their sweetness can be restored.
