A bread bin is a very important and easy to use device.

It helps to keep baked goods fresh and soft.

This is why many housewives put loaves in a bread bin rather than a cupboard.

But even storing it in a special box does not always help protect bread from mold for a very long time.

The most common salt helps to enhance the “protective properties” of the device.

A small amount of sodium chloride is enough to keep bread from going moldy for a long time.

This life hack will clearly be useful for people who do not eat baked goods often.

In what cases the trick may not work

If for some reason the bread bin does not close tightly, then adding salt to it is pointless: the spice will not extend the shelf life of the product.

The whole point is that air gets into the box. As a result, the positive effect of using sodium chloride is nullified.

Too much salt can also make the life hack useless. There should be very little spice, otherwise the bread will spoil even faster.
