Bread is one of the top products that spoil quickly, but at the same time it occupies the first lines on the shopping list.

There is one action that can increase the shelf life of bread six times.

And we're not talking about the refrigerator. Here it goes stale several times faster.

The reason is that at lower temperatures starch tends to crystallize. In the refrigerator this process accelerates approximately 6 times than at kitchen temperatures.

The freezer is suitable for long-term storage of bread. To begin with, the bread is cut so that the whole loaf does not have to be defrosted later.

Before placing the bread in the freezer, if it is freshly baked, it should cool down so that it does not become soggy or moldy.

The pieces are wrapped in cling film, and then in foil or freezer paper. Two layers will help to better preserve the freshness of the product.

You can use a toaster to defrost. In this case, you just need to set the power higher than usual. In sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to store the product for no more than 6 months.
