How should Taitung sugar apples be stored after they ripen?

1. Before the sugar apple softens, it must not be placed in the refrigerator! Otherwise the fruit will be unable to ripen and soften (commonly known as becoming mute) and will be inedible!

2. Gently press the surface of the sugar apple; if it is slightly soft, it is ready to eat! If you want to extend storage, at this point you can wrap it in newspaper and put it in the refrigerator to chill (the lower section, that is) and it can be kept for about another 2-3 days. PS: Personally, I think sugar apples that are too soft are too sweet and too watery, but some people like to eat very soft ones. Everyone can try for themselves and see which degree of ripeness they like.

3. For delicious sugar apples, in summer they soften in about 1-3 days, and in winter in about 2-3 days. After receiving them, open the box as soon as possible and place them in a cool, ventilated spot to let the sugar apples ripen naturally, so they will be chewy, sweet and tasty.

4. Pineapple sugar apples soften in about 2-5 days in winter.

5. Ordinary sugar apples can be peeled open and eaten directly; for pineapple sugar apples, it is more convenient to slice them with a fruit knife.

6. If there are too many sugar apples to finish, you can scoop out the flesh of the softened, ripe sugar apples. It can be stored refrigerated for 5 days or frozen for 20 days. It is cool, sweet and fragrant, and does not stick to your hands.
