Yacon is a kind of fruit, which tastes sweet and crisp and has a special fragrance. Yacon is not only delicious, but also good for human health. Eating yacon regularly can reduce fire and relax bowels, promote digestion, regulate blood and improve immunity. And it is not easy to gain weight, which is very suitable for people who lose weight. In other words, the first time I lost weight was when I ate yacon at a classmate's house.
So if you buy a box, you can't finish it in a short time, and it's easy to go bad. So how to store yacon correctly?
First, wash the yacon, but be careful not to peel it. Yacon, once peeled, can't be stored for a long time, so pay more attention when cleaning the soil on the surface. Then wrap the cleaned yacon in a food bag or plastic wrap, and try to squeeze out the air in the bag to make the yacon in a vacuum state. If you can eat it in a short time, you can put it in the freezer, but if you want to keep it for a long time, you can put it in the freezer, but this will have a certain impact on the taste of yacon.
My grandmother used to store fresh chestnuts like this. Every winter when she went to her house, she could eat chestnuts just like fresh chestnuts. But yacon is a parallel product after all, so I think we should eat it as soon as possible.
It is worth noting that if you cut the yacon, its section will be oxidized to brown by air (similar to the feeling of apple section). If you don't eat cut yacon for a while, you can put it in clean water to prevent oxidation (just like cut eggplant floating in water).
