&; &; &; &; &; &; &; &; in general, when the fruit sprouts, you should try not to eat it. The first taste is not sweet, the second sprouted fruit is more likely to deteriorate, and the nutrients of the third sprouted fruit will also be lost. Let's have a deep understanding with the editor.
Can dragon fruit be eaten after germination
The Pitaya has just sprouted, but it can be eaten if it doesn't go bad.
The seeds of Pitaya are in the inner part of the pulp and have certain activity, while the surrounding environment is rich in water, so when suitable for germination conditions, germination may occur. If the seeds of Pitaya have just germinated, the quality of Pitaya has not changed in any way, and there is no rotten, moldy situation, it can be eaten.
What's the effect of Pitaya after germination
There are three effects after the germination of Pitaya:
1. The germination of Pitaya consumes energy, so the seeds will consume the sugar inside the Pitaya after germination, resulting in the sweetness of Pitaya becoming lighter.
2. In the process of seed germination, a lot of minerals are also consumed, so the mineral content of Pitaya will also be reduced, which is the decrease of Pitaya nutrition.
3. After the seeds of Pitaya are germinated, they will slowly produce metabolic waste and water. At the same time, the increase of volume will affect the tissue integrity of pitaya, making it easier for pitaya to deteriorate.
Why does pitaya sprout
1. The seed of Pitaya is an active seed, and it also retains its activity inside the pitaya, but it has not germinated because the temperature, water and other conditions are not suitable.
2. There is a certain amount of oxygen required for the germination of pitaya, so it is likely that the skin of Pitaya will lose water and the tissue will become loose after long-term storage, which will increase the oxygen entering the inner part of Pitaya and promote the germination of Pitaya seeds.
3. It needs a certain temperature for the germination of Pitaya. Generally, the germination temperature is about 25 ℃, so if the storage temperature of Pitaya is too high, the germination of Pitaya is easy to occur.
How to keep dragon fruit from sprouting
1. In the selection of fresh pitaya, the tissue of Pitaya peel is relatively fine, which is not easy to invade a large amount of oxygen, leading to the germination of Pitaya.
2. Put the selected pitaya in the basket, do not put it too crowded, so as to avoid the temperature rise caused by the breathing effect of pitaya, and maintain the ventilation, dryness and low temperature, which is not easy to reach the germination temperature of Pitaya.
3. If you are not sure, you can put the Pitaya in the cold room to reduce the temperature and respiration.
4. It's not easy to sprout pitaya when it's bought and eaten now, so it's better to choose the right amount of Pitaya according to your own consumption.
Can you still eat pitaya when it's moldy
It is generally not recommended to eat pitaya when it is moldy.
There is a layer of wax on the surface of pitaya fruit, which has a good function of protecting pitaya fruit. If the appearance is complete, it is not easy to get moldy, but if the epidermis is is damaged or traumatized, it is easy to get bacteria growing in the damaged part, so it is not recommended to eat if it gets moldy. If the mildewed part is on the leaves of pitaya fruit and the area is not large, you can remove the peel and continue to eat.
Can I eat the dragon fruit when it's yellow
1. If the appearance of non yellow pitaya is yellow, it is generally bad performance, eating is not conducive to the health of the body, so it is generally not recommended to eat.
2. If the seed of Pitaya is yellow, it can be eaten. Because the seed of Pitaya is slowly changing from white to black, it may turn yellow in the process of transformation. This is the performance that pitaya is not fully mature, but it can also be eaten, but the taste is not so good.
3. Yellow heart fire dragon flesh itself is yellow, is a normal phenomenon, so it is edible.
4. But the flesh of the non yellow heart pitaya fruit turns yellow. It may be bitten or bitten by insects in the process of growth. It is generally not recommended to eat. If the area is very small, it can be eaten after removing the yellow color.
