Guides to Buying Fresh Fruits新鲜水果购物指南

We need to eat high quality,nutritious fresh produce. At the same time,we need to spend less money,reduce our grocery costs and reduce wasteful spending.So,how we can select high quality fruit in the market,make sure it is ripe,and then keep it fresh at home?There are a few basic rules:

我们希望花最少的钱就能吃到高品质的、有营养的新鲜食物。那么,我们怎样在市场里挑选高品质的水果,确认它是否成熟了并拿回家保鲜呢?以下有几个小提示:

1.Buy fruit when it is in season where you live.Produce can be marked“in season now”when it's imported from another country or location where it is in season,but that doesn't mean it will be ripe and flavorful by the time it arrives in your home.

购买时令的水果。水果上有的标注“时令水果”,也许那是从国外进口或别的地方过来的,并不意味着它们被你买回家时已经是成熟的、可口的。

2.Never seal fruits in an air tight bag.Fruits needs to“breathe”,with air circulation,and air tight containers speed up the decaying process.

不要把水果放袋子里裹得严严实实的,水果也需要靠空气循环来“呼吸”。在密封的容器里,水果更容易变质。

3.Some fruits emit ethylene,a natural gas that speeds ripening.Other fruits may be extremely sensitive to ethylene,and will decay within days if stored together with ethylene-producing fruits.

一些水果会散发乙烯,一种自然催熟的气体。其他的水果可能对这种气体有反应,如果把他们堆放一起,容易变质。
