Roskachestvo talked about ways to choose nectarines

Nectarines contain dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, but there are several important rules to consider when choosing and storing these fruits. This was reported to Izvestia on July 21 in Roskachestvo.

When buying nectarines, you should pay attention to the appearance of the fruits. High-quality fruits should be of medium size, with a smooth skin without spots and signs of rot. Ripeness can be checked with a light tap: the fruit should be elastic, but not too hard or soft.

If the nectarines are not fully ripe, they can be left at room temperature in a sunny place. Ripe fruits should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of 1 to 5 degrees, using special fruit bags to avoid drying out and absorbing foreign odors.

"Sliced nectarines can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 10 hours. A whole nectarine will last much longer — up to five days," Roskachestvo noted.

"GOST is a voluntary tool"

Nectarines, due to their fiber content, have a positive effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. They promote normal intestinal motility, improve digestion, and can serve as a source of nutrients for the intestinal microflora.

In addition, fruits contain potassium, which is involved in regulating blood pressure and maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system. The flavonoids contained in nectarines have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can positively affect the condition of blood vessels.

However, the use of nectarines is not suitable for everyone. In some people, the fruit can cause an allergic reaction, including itching, redness of the skin, swelling and, in rare cases, severe consequences. It is recommended to limit the consumption of nectarines for children under one year old, people with diabetes and gallbladder diseases.

Experts at Roskachestvo reminded that when choosing products, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the body and follow the rules of storage in order to preserve the beneficial properties of fruits.

Earlier, on July 5, Roskachestvo reported that the cloudy consistency, stratification of the product, odors and tastes unusual for honey, as well as the absence of documents indicate falsification. It was clarified that the aroma of natural honey is light, pleasant, and characteristic of the variety. Counterfeit goods may also have an extraneous odor.
