How to store Chinese cabbage in winter

Cabbage is a kind of vegetable that we eat most in our daily life. There is a very large planting area in our country, and the output of Chinese cabbage is very high. Therefore, after the cabbage harvest, if not all on the market in time, then the storage work is very important. Especially in winter. So how to store Chinese cabbage in winter? Today, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look at it.

1. Outdoor storage

When storing outdoors, we should first harvest Chinese cabbage and dry it for about three days. When the outer side of Chinese cabbage wilts gradually, it is not easy to break. Lower the stack outside, the temperature should be kept at about zero degrees. If the temperature is below five degrees below zero, then an appropriate amount of cold protection items, such as straw, should be covered. When stacking, the ground should be covered with a layer of wood. Then put the bulb outward, the root towards the inside, and reverse it once a week in the early stage. Peel off rotten leaves and pick out diseased plants to avoid decay. If the temperature is too low, for example, most of the northern areas are not suitable for outdoor storage.

2. Storage in vegetable cellar

Compared with outdoor storage, we don't have to worry about temperature. However, as with outdoor storage, we first leave the cabbage outside to dry for about three days, and then remove the rotten yellow leaves from the cabbage. And then a row of neatly placed in the vegetable cellar, the root down, a row of cabbages a row of soil stacking way, it can be stacked. Then the mouth of the vegetable cellar is sealed tightly to avoid biological entry and exit to bite the cabbage and reduce the storage performance.

3. Burial and storage

Burial storage is also a common storage method of Chinese cabbage in winter. Before burying, it is necessary to dig a good burial ditch, and at the same time, the cabbage needs to be dried. Then put the dried and trimmed cabbage upright into the burial ditch. After the row is full, cover the cabbage with a layer of leaves or straw. Then, with the decrease of temperature, the cover can be properly covered with soil for heat preservation. The thickness of the covered soil should be determined according to the change of area and temperature. The main reason is to ensure that the soil cover will not be frozen through in winter, but because it is buried in the ditch, the inspection is more troublesome and will be affected by the ground temperature.

4. Cold storage

Cold storage can effectively control the storage environment, but the cost will be higher than the above three methods. Cold storage can improve efficiency, using the method of basket palletizing. When entering the cold storage, we should pay attention to carry out it in batches to avoid the decrease of storage quality caused by the increase of temperature and soil. There should be sufficient space between each basket and each stack to facilitate inspection during storage. The vegetables should be poured once in about three weeks, and the long-term storage can be achieved if the storage temperature is regulated by prickling method. Although the cost is high, the storage effect is good and the operation is simple.
