Pumpkin is a common food in people's daily life, but it is difficult to eat at one time because of its large volume. Therefore, it is very important to keep the remaining pumpkin intact so that it does not deteriorate

1. How to save the cut pumpkin

Stick fresh-keeping film: after the pumpkin is cut, empty its interior with a spoon, and then wrap it completely with fresh-keeping film to prevent bacteria from entering. Then put it in the refrigerator and store it for five or six days. It should be noted that the handle of the pumpkin should be placed upward. If the handle is downward, the pumpkin is more likely to rot

Salt on the cut: after the pumpkin is cut, empty the inside, and then apply a circle of salt along the cut. In this way, the pumpkin will not rot for a week, and the water will not lose too much. When used later, cut off the outermost layer, and the inside is still fresh

Cut sticking paper: stick several pieces of paper on the cross section of the cut pumpkin. After the paper absorbs the juice of the pumpkin, it can ensure the drying of the melon meat and play a certain role in anti-corrosion. This method can keep the pumpkin for half a month without losing too much water

Generally, pumpkins can be kept in a cool place for about a month after they are bought. If they are placed in the freezer of the refrigerator, they can be kept for two to three months. However, if it is a cut pumpkin, the inner flesh must be removed before preservation, otherwise it is easy to rot and deteriorate from the center, and then wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator

2. Can I put it in the fridge

The cut pumpkin can be put in the refrigerator, but the pulp should be dug out first, and then wrap the pumpkin with plastic wrap to avoid water loss
