Brilio.net - Fresh fruit is a healthy snack option that is suitable for the whole family. Its sweet and fresh taste makes it popular with both children and adults. In addition, fruit is rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that are good for the body, making it a much healthier alternative to snacks high in sugar or fat.
For a more refreshing sensation, fruit is usually better served cold. Cold temperatures can sharpen the natural sweetness of fruit and provide a refreshing effect in the mouth, especially during hot weather. Storing fruit in the refrigerator before serving or adding ice cubes when serving can be a simple way to increase the pleasure of eating fruit.
But besides adding ice cubes, you can use another more practical way, you know. An Instagram user @nurrin_nurrinawati once shared a trick for serving fresh fruit so that it stays cold even though it's at room temperature all day. Instead of using ice cubes, she just uses plain water.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @nurrin_nurrinawati on Friday (31/1), the water is placed in an aluminum foil pan. It doesn't need to be full, just until the bottom of the pan is filled with water. After that, put it in the refrigerator and freeze it.

Once done, take a new aluminum foil pan. Then arrange the fresh fruit to be served on the pan. Now, the pan containing fresh fruit can then be stacked on top of the pan containing the frozen water.

Basically, aluminum foil is able to keep fruit cool and fresh because of its properties as an effective heat conductor as well as a barrier to air, light, and moisture. Aluminum foil helps reflect heat from the outside so that the stored fruit remains at a cold temperature for longer. In addition, foil also slows the loss of cold temperature from the fruit to the environment, making it more effective in maintaining low temperatures.
On the other hand, aluminum foil creates a tight barrier against air, thus reducing exposure to oxygen which can accelerate the oxidation process of the fruit. This way, the color and texture of the fruit stay fresh longer, and prevent wilting.
Having been viewed more than 47 thousand times, this video about the trick of serving fresh fruit immediately attracted attention. Who would have thought, many other Instagram users then gave direct responses in the comments column. Most netizens even admitted that the trick was very useful to imitate.
