This is an old life hack that helped our ancestors store cereals for a long time.
To do this, you need to put clean nails in a container with cereal. They will save you from several problems at once, and not only extend the shelf life.
It is believed that in this case bugs will definitely not appear.
After all, it is difficult to get rid of parasites, and the porridge they were in is no longer suitable for cooking.
In this case, insects can quickly spread and penetrate into other packages with bulk products.
If you don’t want to put nails in, you can use any other metal object, but it’s important that it doesn’t accidentally fall into the pan during cooking.
For example, you can put a tablespoon in a jar or bag.
In extreme cases, as experienced housewives note, you can put a few balls of foil into the cereal.
It is worth noting that this advice works not only with semolina, but also with flour, as well as with any other cereals.
