2. Put it with rice husk. If you have rice husk at home, you can also put carambola and rice husk together. Rice husk can help absorb heat and prolong the storage time of carambola.
Can carambola be kept in the refrigerator? Yes, but long-term storage is not recommended.
Putting carambola in the refrigerator is also a common fresh-keeping method, which can keep the freshness of carambola to the greatest extent. However, carambola is a tropical fruit, which is suitable for storage at 9- 12℃, and the temperature in the refrigerator is low, so putting carambola into the refrigerator will speed up its decay, and it can only be stored for about 1-3 days, so it can be stored for a short time.
How long can carambola be preserved at room temperature? 3- 10 days.
The storage time of carambola at room temperature is closely related to its maturity, and the storage time of carambola with different maturity is different. If the carambola is rough, it will be stored for a long time, which can generally be stored for about 7- 10 days. But if the carambola has a high maturity, the storage time will be much shorter, generally only 3-5 days, or even shorter, so if the carambola is mature, it is best to eat it as soon as possible.
4 How to eat carambola Steps:
1. Wash carambola with clear water and drain the surface water slightly.
2. Cut off the hard edges around the carambola. Be careful not to cut it too thick, just a thin layer.
3. Then cut the carambola into thin slices and soak it in salt water for a while to reduce its sour taste.
4. Take out the carambola slices and eat them. If the taste is too sour, you can also eat white sugar.
If you don't like this way of eating, you can also juice carambola and other fruits or make salads.
