Care should not be neglected during the harvest and during the drying phase in the exhibition, ”and recommended that fig warehouses be prepared in accordance with the rules.
Ufresh Sales Manager Üsame Boz stated that preserving and knowing how to store and preserving a healthy and beautiful looking dried fig is vital for both the producer and the consumer and said, “Dried figs, which are a source of healing and a flavor store, are one of the most delicate fruits. As the institution, we buy the figs that we will deliver to the consumer, while examining the gardens where the fig is produced and the warehouses where it is stored. In figs that are not stored in suitable storage, rancidity and black substances occur in the interior. In order to prevent this, our producers should store the figs, which they have harvested and dried, in plastic cases in suitable hygienic warehouses with appropriate air. The humidity, air and temperature of the environment where the fig is located must also comply with the standards. Otherwise, fig will spoil and labor may be lost ”he said.
"There are rules that consumers should also pay attention to"
Stating that the fig producer must pay attention to storage until the product is purchased, the consumer should also store this fruit under appropriate conditions, Boz said, “In order to keep the purchased figs in a healthy way, you first need to calculate how long you can consume. If you think you will consume figs within 10-15 days, you do not need to store it in the refrigerator or deep freezer. You can store and consume in a sunless place. But if you intend to store it for a long time, storing it in the deep freezer is one of the best methods. "If you store it in a deep freezer, you can consume the dried figs for about a year without spoiling them with the breath of the first day."
