A favorite spice for many, which is added to dishes for flavor, will help solve an acute problem in the kitchen.
Far-sighted housewives and housewives are accustomed to making at least a small stock of various cereals. Pasta and flour are also added to them.
During long-term storage of these products, a problem may arise. No one is immune from the appearance of bugs in the kitchen, so wise housewives take measures in advance.
Bay leaf and cereal
This spice is found in almost every kitchen. But not all housewives know that bay leaf prevents the appearance of cereal bugs.
One or more leaves are placed in the cereal - depending on the size of the container. The smell of laurel repels pests, but does not affect the taste of the cereal.
The spice also helps protect flour from "uninvited guests". The principle is the same - the leaves are placed in the packaging or container in which the product is stored.
