Buckwheat, rice and pearl barley have a long shelf life.
In a dry and cool place, these products can be stored for up to one and a half to two years.
However, sometimes cereals become unfit for consumption much earlier.
We are talking about such a common situation as the appearance of food moths.
To prevent dangerous insects from affecting your food, use one popular spice.
What to put next to cereals
You need to leave a few bags of ground cloves next to the bags of cereal.
The additive has a very strong smell. In addition, it contains compounds that are actually insecticides. For example, eugenol.
The spice can be found either in a cloth bag or in a paper package.
The presence of such a protective agent is a guarantee that food moths will not appear in the cupboard and “attack” food for quite a long time.
The effect of using ground cloves will last for at least 3 months. But usually cereals acquire protection for 6 months.
