How to spread peanuts?

Small farmers live in the countryside, and their families also grow peanuts. The number of autumn peanuts planted every year is not much. Generally, I keep it for myself to eat, and keep it as a seed for sowing spring peanuts next spring. Therefore, the recycled autumn peanuts must be very dry, and impurities and incomplete seeds must be removed before they can be put into storage. If the pickled peanuts change color, it means deterioration and affects eating/sowing. Then the autumn peanuts harvested in the countryside are not going to be sold after drying. How can we keep them for a year without discoloration? In fact, if you want to keep peanuts for a long time, you must be extremely dry and keep them in a shell. In addition, you should pick out the impurities, clean the containers containing peanuts and expose them to the sun. Let's talk about it in detail:

First, completely dry the autumn peanuts with shells, and then store them.

Even if peanuts without shells are very dry, they are more likely to get wet or be eaten by insects when they are stored. Therefore, the most basic thing to keep peanuts for one year is to thoroughly dry them with shells. After drying, don't peel them, but keep them with shells.

Autumn peanuts are generally harvested in September and June, 65438+ 10. At that time, the light was still relatively good, and there was still a lot of water in the recycled peanuts. Turn the sun in time. It will be sunny every day until it dries. If the weather is bad on the way and the peanuts are not completely dried, don't pack the peanuts and put them in a place where the rain can't be ventilated, otherwise they will easily go moldy and deteriorate.

How can autumn peanuts be completely dried? The thoroughly dried autumn peanuts are not only dry in the shell, but also dry in the peanuts. Grab a peanut and throw it on the concrete floor. The sound is particularly crisp and loud, and it is particularly easy to break the shell when it is broken. When you point your finger at the peanuts inside, the coat will tear, which shows that the peanuts are dry enough to be sorted and preserved.

Second, remove impurities, classify, and dry again for preservation.

Although autumn peanuts have matured in the harvest season, the particle plumpness of peanuts is not the same. Some grains are not full enough. After drying, the peanut shells and peanuts become smaller and look a little wrinkled. If you shake it casually with a hand with a shell, you can hear a louder sound. If the particles are full, they will shake and make a particularly small sound.

In addition, the recycled peanut shells are stuck with some soil, which will gradually fall off with the sun exposure; These soil impurities and peanuts that are not full should be removed, and peanuts with full particles should be kept. The selected peanuts are usually dried again (usually for one day or half a day) and stored in bags/cans, because the peanut shells may stick to some people's sweat and need to be dried.

Third, the sacks/porcelain jars containing peanuts should be exposed to the sun.

Sun-dried peanuts are usually stored in sacks or large porcelain jars. In order to preserve peanuts for a long time, sacks/porcelain jars should be cleaned and dried, exposed to the sun for half a day, disinfected in the sun, and taken back to cool. This practice is the same as preserving rice, corn and other grains, and it is generally done in rural areas.

4. Peanuts should be stored in a ventilated and dry place.

The discoloration of peanuts is generally caused by moisture. After being completely dried, peanuts can be stored in bags/cans in ventilated and dry places without being affected by moisture. Like the mud tile house where people used to live, it is well ventilated. There are some peanuts on the second floor of the mud tile house. If there is no second floor, put them in sacks and hang them on the beams of the room. If you put it in a porcelain jar, you should put the board on the ground first, and then put the porcelain jar.

After the above four steps, shelled peanuts can be preserved for one year or even longer. For example, in their hometown of Cai Xiao Mountain, people often keep peanuts for more than one year. Autumn peanuts will be planted in the next spring, and the rest will be kept for Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival.

Summary: Autumn peanuts harvested in rural areas are not intended to be sold after drying. If it is to be preserved for one year, it needs to be completely dried and stored in a shell. Before preservation, impurities such as soil and insufficient particles need to be removed. Bags/porcelain jars for storing peanuts should be disinfected in the sun and then placed in a ventilated and dry place to prevent moisture. Hope to adopt!
