The best way to keep food fresh for a long time

This is an automatically translated article.

Improper food storage can be one of the causes of food poisoning, leaving you and your family members unknowingly exposed to many other health risks without your knowledge.

1. Bananas

If you put bananas in the refrigerator, the bananas will turn black within a day or two. The same thing happens if you put bananas in the freezer.
To keep bananas fresher for longer, peel the bananas, dip the banana pulp in lemon juice (to preserve color and texture), and place them in the freezer. This way the bananas will keep for a month or so.

2. Tomato

Putting tomatoes in a bag will help prevent bacteria from spoiling the tomatoes.

3. Honey

Honey will not spoil when refrigerated, but it will thicken and be difficult to pour.
Alternatively, you can protect honey by keeping it in a cool place in the room.

4. Potatoes

Keep your potatoes on the shelves of the kitchen - an area used to store food or somewhere cool and low-light.
If the potatoes have sprouted green shoots, it means it's time to throw them away.

5. Bread

Bread after being out of the oven only lasts about 2-4 days. If you put them in the refrigerator, the dry air in the refrigerator can make the bread very difficult to eat and no longer delicious.
If you are worried about mold or you want to store it for a long time, then you can keep the bread in the freezer.
If wrapped well before placing in the freezer, bread can be stored for 2-3 months. After taking it out of the freezer, you can place the cake on the shelf to defrost naturally or use a toaster with a defrost setting.

6. Cheese

Cheese tastes best if kept at room temperature. But like all foods made from animals cheese should be stored in the refrigerator.
You should wrap cheese in foil or waxed paper before placing them in the refrigerator to retain the best flavor. Remove the cheese about an hour before you want to eat it for the best flavor.

7. Butter

Avocados will keep well for 1 to 3 months. Take out the amount you plan to use and let the butter soften for about 30 minutes before cooking. You can also keep avocados in the freezer for 6 to 9 months.

8. Coffee

Store your beans in an airtight container, in a cool, dark place in your kitchen.

9. Spaghetti Sauce

A jar of spaghetti sauce can be stored at room temperature for 18 months or more. Once opened, it will keep fresh in the refrigerator for about 4 days.

10. Olive oil

Olive oil can be stored at room temperature for 3 to 6 months after you open the lid.
Olive oil can become thicker if refrigerated. The best olive oil storage temperature is between 18 and 24 degrees.

11. Dry seasoning

It is best to store these dried spices in a cool, dark place and in sealed containers. With this storage method, dried spices can be stored for at least a year.

12. Herbs

Put these herbs right in the fridge when you buy them from the store. Cut away crushed parts of the stem or leaves.

13. Canned Tuna or Salmon

These canned products, if unopened, can be stored for a year or longer at room temperature. Please check the expiry date before using them. If you have opened the lid, canned products should be used and kept for a day or two in the refrigerator.

14. Cold meat

Cold cuts such as pre-boiled chicken, smoked ham, and sausages can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days. Prepackaged deli meats can be stored for a few weeks. Once you open the package, try to use it up within 3 to 5 days. Unopened packages of deli meats can be stored for up to a few months in the freezer.

15. Dry cereals

Dry cereal can be stored at room temperature for at least 2 to 3 months. To keep these cereals crispy, place them in an airtight container to prevent moist air from entering to moisten the cereal and lead to faster spoilage.
