Food spoils more slowly in the refrigerator, but its shelf life can be extended.
It is important to understand that even the freezer is not a “permanent” way to preserve freshness.
Let's figure out how to properly store food.
Let's look at the recommendations of experienced housewives.
What to look for when storing food
Here are these tips.
- Ethylene. Berries and fruits release ethylene gas when ripening, which accelerates the ripening process in their neighbors. This must be taken into account.
- Greens. It is better to store them in a plastic bag or damp gauze.
- Fruits. They can be left to ripen, provided that the chamber has a positive temperature.
- Dairy and fermented milk products. Do not store them on the doors, as this is the warmest zone.
- Meat and fish. Put them in the freezer only if they have a long shelf life.
- Cereals and bread. Keep them in a cool, dry place. Flour and cereals retain their properties perfectly in their original packaging.
