It's a shame when your favorite loaf of bread becomes moldy and is no longer fit to eat.

Some might say that such bread can simply be thrown in the trash and a new one bought, but another housewife might call such behavior wasteful.

Note that mold begins after air gets onto the surface of the product.

We suggest considering several life hacks that will help prevent this process.

How to keep bread from molding

Here are 4 tips.

  1. If there is a lot of moisture in the bread, then the mold will develop faster. Therefore, the product should be kept in a dry place.
  2. Less oxygen. Spores need air to grow. Keep bread in a package.
  3. Temperature. This is one of the reasons why some housewives put bread in the refrigerator. At room temperature, it molds faster.
  4. Time. It is better not to store bread for a long time. It will get moldy anyway if it is left for a month.
