During storage, bugs may appear in flour, which spoil the taste and cause enormous damage.
Solving the problem of bugs is quite simple, because there are several items that can be placed inside the jar.
What to put in flour to keep bugs away
It is important to note that the appearance of bugs in flour is always a matter of time. A simple example: even trying to store flour in a closed container, sooner or later bugs may appear there. The following ingredients can help deal with their appearance:
1) Garlic.
2) Bay leaves.
3) Hot pepper.
You can also try using different herbs. The most popular ones include:
• calendula;
• thyme;
• wormwood.
Herbs with a strong aroma repel bugs. They should be placed in a cloth bag directly into the flour.
The peculiarity of this method is that the effect of adding herbs to flour will be temporary, so it needs to be changed occasionally.
What to do if bugs appear in flour
When they appear, most people don’t even know what to do. It seems that you can throw away the bugs and continue using the flour, but this is a serious mistake. If bugs appear inside, it is no longer suitable for use. And trying to cook something from it, you will hardly be able to achieve the desired taste. But the key danger is the health risk.
