Many people store food in open jars in the refrigerator without even thinking about the danger.

Such storage is definitely unacceptable, and the harm that can occur should be examined in a little more detail.

Interaction of iron and moisture

Tin cans contain iron, which can react with moisture in the refrigerator.

This interaction can lead to corrosion and rust formation on the inside and outside of the can.

Of course, many may say that tin cans are not subject to corrosion, but this is not entirely true.

Loss of taste and aroma

Open jars placed in the refrigerator can leak odors and flavors from other foods.

This may result in the loss of the characteristic taste and aroma of the products stored inside.

Some foods may change texture when exposed to refrigeration temperatures, especially if they are in cans.

For example, oils and syrups can harden, making them difficult to use.

How to store correctly

For storing open products, it is preferable to use dense containers made of glass or plastic. This will help prevent the penetration of odors and preserve the quality of the products.
