What is the shelf life of snow lotus?

The growth environment of snow lotus is very special, and the preservation method of blood lotus is also very demanding. It needs to be stored in a refrigerator. As a health food, snow lotus is welcomed by many people. It can prevent various diseases and supplement the various elements needed by our body. Therefore, in order to better preserve it during the storage process. Let us now find out what is the shelf life of snow lotus.

1. Put it in the refrigerator immediately. Snow lotus fungi should be placed in a low-temperature refrigerator for long-term storage, and never in a freezer. In the freezer, they hardly grow or ferment. When refrigerated, it may become a little smaller due to the cold, but it’s okay, just refrigerate it. When drinking it again, rinse the snow lotus mushrooms first and add a small amount of pure milk, just enough to cover them. Don’t drink the fermented wine on the first day. Drink it the next day.

2. Pour in pure milk and store. If there is no refrigerator, you can find an empty glass bottle and pour in twice as much pure milk as the snow lotus fungus, then add once as much water, and finally cover it with a lid with air holes. It will be no problem to store it for about 20 days. Remember to keep it in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. However, bacteria will emit an unpleasant odor. When drinking it again, wash the snow lotus fungus first, then add a small amount of milk. Do not drink it on the first day. If the bacteria have a strong odor, repeat the first day's method every day until there is no odor on the bacteria before drinking the water. Generally speaking, it can be consumed on the third or fourth day.

3. It must be stored in glass or ceramic products. It is not suitable to use iron or metal containers (except acid-resistant metals such as stainless steel), because after the snow lotus milk is fermented into yogurt, it becomes acidic and has a certain corrosive effect, and will react chemically with active metals. There is no problem with products such as glass and ceramics, but it is best to choose containers that are of good quality and relatively sturdy.

4. Do not store it together with other raw meat, leftovers, etc. If snow lotus fungus is placed together with raw meat or leftover food, it will easily breed bacteria and cause odor contamination. Snow lotus fungus has a relatively weak ability to resist pollution, and any carelessness will affect the normal growth of the fungus.

5. If you are on a business trip or away from home for a long time, it is best to find someone familiar with snow lotus fungus to keep and care for it. Because snow lotus fungi grow faster and ferment faster when the temperature is 30 or 40 degrees, they need to be bathed and the milk changed frequently, preferably once a day. If you don't wash it every day and soak it in fresh milk to moisturize it, the efficacy of the snow lotus fungus will gradually decrease until it dies.

The above are some small methods on how to preserve the shelf life of snow lotus. It is also completely fine to put the snow lotus in the refrigerator. However, do not store other foods in the refrigerator as this may cause the snow lotus to be easily infected by bacteria in other foods. In addition, the use of snow lotus also requires certain methods and techniques. I hope everyone will pay enough attention to it.
