Brilio.net - Lime is one of the cooking ingredients that tastes sour and has a fresh aroma. This ingredient can remove the fishy smell of food such as chicken or fish and give a fresh effect to a dish or chili sauce. Apart from food, lime can also be added to various fresh drinks, you know.
Basically, limes can be easily found and bought in various places, both in traditional markets, grocery stores and supermarkets. Apart from buying, quite a few people also choose to plant their own lime trees so that the fruit can be harvested.
However, when the harvest is abundant, many people are confused about storing lime stock. This is because limes are a fruit that rots easily or even dries. Even if stored in the refrigerator, this lime can usually dry quickly in less than 1 week.
So, to extend its shelf life , some people usually put limes in the freezer. When frozen, limes can last longer and be used for a long time. However, the side effect is that frozen limes will easily become soft after the texture softens.
To prevent this, you can copy the trick shared by Instagram user @intanwisari. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he could store this lime for up to 1 month, you know. However, instead of putting it in the freezer, there are special tricks so that limes don't dry out or turn yellow easily in the refrigerator.
