There is a special method to extend the shelf life of palm fruit up to two weeks shared through the YouTube channel Dapur Moochies TV. This method is often used by the owner of the channel because of his love of processing palm fruit into various snacks and fresh drinks. The right storage technique allows palm fruit to stay fresh for a longer time.
First, remove the water from the palm fruit. The palm fruit can then be rinsed using running water two to three times. Next, the palm fruit can be soaked using rice water. Well, this rice water is said to be able to remove the mucus that causes palm fruit to go stale quickly.
"Wait for at least 30 minutes, an hour is also fine. Then it won't be slimy and it won't smell. Don't be surprised if there's something white, that means the slime has been removed by the rice water," explained the YouTube account Dapur Moochies TV.

After soaking, drain the rice water, then wash the palm fruit until there is no remaining rice water and dirt attached. If the palm fruit has been drained, put it in a container and fill it with boiled water until all the palm fruit is completely submerged. The container containing the palm fruit can then be closed and placed in the chiller section of the refrigerator.
"Every two or three days, the water can be changed, even after two weeks it is safe," he added.
