Some housewives regularly place newspaper, previously moistened with clean water, on the shelf or in the lower compartment of the refrigerator.
This action may seem strange, but it produces an interesting result.
Thus, wet newspaper has a positive effect on the condition of some food products stored in the refrigerator.
Food will be stored much longer due to the appearance of the necessary “microclimate” in the device.
Benefits of Wet Newspaper
If such paper is kept in the refrigerator, the humidity inside the household appliance will increase.
It is precisely this condition that is needed to preserve the freshness of some food products, MOS SMI reports.
We are talking about the following types of food:
- vegetables;
- fruits;
- green;
- flour products.
The above products will not face moisture deficiency. This means that the food will not dry out and spoil prematurely.
Fruits, herbs and baked goods will stay fresh for a long time without darkening, becoming stained, wilted or crusty.
