To keep food items bought in bulk safe for a long time, it is necessary to store them properly. So let’s know the right way to store these food items.

Year-round food storage when needed

– If you are storing wheat, rice, pulses etc. for the whole year, then store them only after exposing them to sunlight.

– It is very important to protect grains from moisture while storing them. That’s why keep them in canisters and before keeping them, spread newspaper on the bottom and top of the canisters. Newspaper absorbs moisture.

Clean the rice thoroughly before filling it in canisters, then sprinkle boric powder on it. By doing this, insects do not get in the rice.

First dry the wheat and pulses thoroughly in the sun. Then while storing put knuckle pills in it. This will not make them bad. Knuckle pills are easily available in the market.

Always keep the pickle in a glass jar or bottle. This does not make them bad.

Monthly Food Storage

Store salt and sugar by filling them in a plastic bag. This will save them from moisture and ants.

– Do not keep salt in a metal container/jar for a long time, because salt reacts with metal and becomes poisonous.

– Keep all the spices in separate plastic transparent boxes. If possible, stick labels on all, so that there is no problem in finding spices while cooking.

deli food storage

– Keep the remaining vegetables, chutney and other food items in a bowl or transparent container with a lid. Keep it in front of the fridge, so that you can use it the next day.

You can store food items used daily in the kitchen by buying them at wholesale rates.

Instead of storing the eggs in the egg-designed shelf on the upper surface of the refrigerator door, keep the eggs in their curtains in the refrigerator. This keeps them fresh for longer, but use them within 3 weeks.

– Clean meat, chicken, chicken chops, fish etc. thoroughly and then put them in a container and keep them in the fridge. Do not keep them in plastic bags, otherwise they will spoil. Use it within three days of storing.

– Do not wash vegetables while storing them. Wash only if there is excess soil and after washing wipe it dry. Because vegetables get spoiled due to excess moisture.

– Clean the green leafy vegetables and wrap them in newspaper and put them in plastic bags and keep them in the fridge. Vegetables will remain fresh for a long time.

Fill other vegetables in plastic bags and store them in the fridge. Vegetables remain fresh due to moisture in plastic bags.

– Keep checking the fridge at intervals of a few days and remove the spoiled vegetables and fruits, otherwise other fresh vegetables and fruits will also start rotting.

– Hard things can be kept safe in the fridge for two months. While soft things should be used within five to seven days and should be kept in the freezer.

– Store strawberries, kiwi and cherries in the deep freezer.

– Close the lid of the bottle kept in the fridge tightly, so that the thing kept inside does not spoil.

– Keep water cooler or water dispenser separately. So that you do not have to open the fridge again and again. Frequent opening of the fridge allows hot air from outside to enter, which increases the risk of spoilage of food items, and also requires more energy to be used to maintain the temperature of the fridge. It would be better to choose the new model fridges of today, in which the water dispenser is fixed on the door of the fridge.

Label the jars of food items kept in the fridge. So that you don’t have to keep the fridge door open for a long time while searching for them.

Before cooking, think in advance about the things to be taken out of the fridge and take out all the things at once. Do not open the fridge again and again.

– Onions, garlic, potatoes and vegetables that do not need to be kept in the fridge, keep them in cans or plastic baskets and keep them on top of the cabinets. Keep cleaning these baskets from time to time.

– Keep snacks like biscuits, namkeen, cookies, chips and homemade dry snacks in a transparent airtight plastic jar or container. Due to this, they remain crunchy for a long time. There is no need to level them.
