Yanshan red small package chestnut manufacturer takes you to know: how to store chestnuts after harvest?

Chestnuts are harvested in 3-5 batches according to fruit maturity. When the fruit is separated from the involucre (i.e. fried), shake the small tree by hand to make all mature fruits fall. For big trees, climb the tree and shake the mature fruit with branches. Usually, chestnuts are picked once in the morning and at night. This can not only improve the quality and yield of chestnut, but also prevent chestnut from breaking and falling off, which is conducive to high and stable yield of chestnut.

One wet sand mixing storage method is to mix wet medium coarse sand (water content 8%-10%) with more than 2-3 times the weight of chestnut, and then put it into the tank. Put more sand on the bottom and surface of the jar. Seal the bottle mouth with a straw and turn it upside down on the ground. After a while, pour it out and check it. Take out the chestnuts and store them in a jar. If there are many chestnuts, they can be mixed with wet sand in a ventilated place (no more than 60 cm high) and then covered with film or straw. Carefully rotate the stake and moisturize it so that the moisture of the chestnuts can be stored evenly and safely. 2. The sawdust storage method is applicable to fresh sawdust with moisture content of 30% - 35%. If dry sawdust is used, moisten it with water. There are two storage methods: one is to fully mix chestnuts and sawdust, put them into boxes (bags), cover them with 8-10cm thick sawdust, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place. The other is surrounded by bricks with a width of 1 meter. Fill 40 cm square sawdust with 5 cm thick sawdust, then mix chestnuts and sawdust in the ratio of 1:1 into the frame, and cover with about 10 cm thick sawdust. Natural air drying can eliminate diseases and pests and damage fruits. Spray for 1-2 days to let the water evaporate. When the weight of fresh fruit is reduced by about 10%, soak it in a bucket of cold water for 7-8 days, then take it out, put it in bamboo blue, hang it in a ventilated place, and let it dry naturally. Storage for one month is a dangerous period, which requires frequent inspection. Next April, chestnuts are still fresh. 4. When the chestnut pepper slices are separated by about 30%, select the mature yellow shell pepper slices and put them into the container. Cover with a small amount of white grass and let it mature for a period of time in a barn or a dry, ventilated, cool room. Don't eat chestnuts after opening. When you need to eat, remove the thorny buds together to keep them fresh until next spring, but prevent them from sprouting after spring.
