How to Keep Fruit
According to
experiments of Max de Nansouty, fruit carefully wrapped in silk paper and
then buried in dry sand will
preserve a fresh appearance with a fresh odor
of flavor, almost indefinitely. It may also be preserved in dry excelsior,
but not nearly so well. In stubble or straw fruit rots very quickly, while
in shavings it mildews quickly. In short, wheat-
straw fruit often takes on a
musty taste and odor, even when perfectly dry. Finally, when placed on
wooden tablets
and exposed to the air, most fruit decays rapidly.
