How to keep yam fresh in winter?
Yam is a kind of storable vegetable with physiological dormancy period. It also has the characteristics of low temperature resistance and low humidity storage. However, after storage for a period of time, the dormancy period ended, physiological metabolism became vigorous, and fibrous roots grew on the epidermis of tuberous roots. In this case, improper storage can easily lead to root rot and deterioration. The yam to be stored should be thick and complete, with a head and a tail, and the epidermis should be free of mud, roots, wounds, scars, pests and frostbite. Before storage, it should be spread in a cool place to dry, so that the skin is slightly dry and aging.
bury
Fine mud or river sand should be used for piling and burying on site. The method is as follows: on the ground of well-ventilated rooms, cellars and warehouses with low humidity, build a buried pit with a height of about 1 m with bricks, first spread a layer of dry fine soil or dry sand with a thickness of about 10 cm at the bottom of the pit, and then spread the selected and aired yam on the soil (sand) with a layer of yam and a layer of soil (sand). After burial, samples are usually taken once a month or so. Pay attention to handle with care when flipping, and don't scratch the root epidermis. If lesions are found, they should be picked out in time to prevent spread. If it is found that the water content of mud (sand) is too high, the pile can be turned over in advance.
You can also bury yam in containers such as baskets and crates. The method is as follows: firstly, put disinfection paper on the bottom of the box and around the box basket, then pile a layer of yam and a layer of soil (sand) to about 5 cm away from the mouth, and cover it with soil (sand). The time of checking can be determined according to the change of yam. It is easier to bury in a jar, as long as a layer of sediment is laid on the bottom of the jar first, and then a layer of yam and a layer of soil (sand) are piled 7 ~ 10 cm away from the jar mouth, and sealed with soil (sand).
Basket storage
Spread dried and disinfected rice straw or wheat straw (preferably wheat straw) at the bottom and around the disinfected basket (box) without leaving any gaps. Then, stack the selected yam layer by layer until it is 80% full, cover it with straw to the mouth of the basket (box), and then pile it in a ventilated storage room by riding. Generally, the height is 3 wicker baskets or 4 crates. In order to prevent the influence of ground moisture on the root tuber, bricks or boards can be placed under the bottom basket (box) to keep a distance of about 10 cm from the ground. Keep the warehouse in a cool and dry environment.
During cold storage, the selected yam is put into a crate, surrounded by four or five layers of paper, and the mouth of the crate is sealed with paper. Then put it on the pallet or on the shelf of the cold storage. The storage temperature is controlled at 0 ~ 2℃ and the relative humidity is 80% ~ 85%.
