Experienced housewives use a little trick that works with both store-bought and homemade products.

Mold is not only a nuisance in the bathroom or on the balcony. It also makes food unfit for consumption.

Tomato paste is a popular addition to pasta, potatoes or meat. It adds a piquant flavor to the dish, but it often becomes a breeding ground for mold.

To avoid wasting products, you need to do just one thing. The trick will preserve the preparation and allow you to enjoy it longer.

The lid of the jar in which the tomato paste will be stored should be coated with a thin layer of mustard. This product is considered a preservative that prevents the development of mold.

The trick works with store-bought paste that hasn't been used in a short period of time. The mustard will extend its shelf life after opening the jar.

To increase the reliability of the trick, they coat not only the inside of the lid, but also the upper part of the walls of the neck.
