1、 When will it mature

Snow lotus fruit is usually planted in spring, and it will almost mature in autumn. To judge whether it is mature, you can observe the small yellow flowers on the stem tip. Almost around October, the fascicular small yellow flowers on the top will wither, indicating that the snow lotus fruit below is mature and can be picked at this time. Generally, it will be on the market at the end of October and the beginning of November. Note that the taste of freshly ripened fruits is light, not particularly sweet, and then the sugar content gradually increases. Note that after the snow lotus fruit is dug out, in order to ensure the planting of the next year, the seed ball on the upper part of the fruit needs to be cut off, then the seed ball is placed in a cool place to dry, then soaked in disinfectant water for disinfection, and then stored in a dark and ventilated place. It can be planted in the coming year

2、 How to save

If the snow lotus fruit bought home is cut, in order to prevent oxidation, it can only be soaked in clean water and stored for half a day or a day. If you buy it and eat it soon, it can be preserved in the natural environment and can not be exposed to strong light. In this way, it can be preserved for about 3-7 days. If you want to keep it for a long time, you can refrigerate the snow lotus fruit in the refrigerator. In this way, the storage time will be longer, which can be extended to 1-3 months, and the taste may change
