How to safely keep dry food in the fridge

Dry food is a type of food used by many families, but how to preserve dry food for a long time without mold is one of the things that people are concerned about as whether dry food can store in the refrigerator? That is the question many homemakers are wondering.

The first rule of storing dry food is to keep it in a cool, dry place. However, depending on the type of food, we will have many ways to preserve it properly.

1. Dried seafood:

- After buying dried seafood products, you should let them dry for 2-3 hours. If you do not eat it right away but need to preserve it, put it in a glass jar or wrap it with 2-3 layers of paper. Wrap the outside of the plastic layer to prevent the smell from spreading to other foods. Then put it in the refrigerator and adjust the temperature to about -18 degrees Celsius.

- Keeping dried seafood in the refrigerator's freezer compartment will not freeze because dry foods contain very little water. However, even dry food will become more delicious and pliable when refrigerated.

- Do not store it in the refrigerator because the temperature in the fridge will not preserve it for a long time.

- However, you should only store dry food in the refrigerator for 3–4 weeks, bring it out to dry, and then put it back in the fridge again.

2. Dry mushrooms:

- With foods like shiitake, if you want to keep the mushrooms fragrant and not moldy, put them in a plastic box or paper bag and keep them on the side of the refrigerator door.

3. Bread:

- Bread and starchy foods should not be kept in the refrigerator.

- The reason is that when the dough is put in the refrigerator, the dough will be "raw."

- Therefore, bread or any other flour-based product should not be put in the refrigerator because the dough will lose moisture and become dry and hard, so there is a phenomenon like "raw" or tough dough.

4. Cheese:

- Slice cheese just enough to use and cut through the outer layer of glossy paper. Remove the cheese and use the parchment paper to cover the top of the unused cheese.

- Only store cheese in the refrigerator compartment, and buy just enough to eat. Do not store it in the freezer. It will reduce the quality and taste of the cheese.

- When storing cheese, you should wrap it in parchment paper. Do not use cling film to wrap it tightly. Since cheese needs to "breathe," wrapping cheese isn't too tight to help keep it flavorful.

- If possible, keep them in sealed food containers and keep them in the refrigerator.

5. Cereals and rice:

- Rice after milling. Milling has dry characteristics, not water-resistant. Therefore, to preserve rice without mold and loss of nutrients, it should keep in glass jars with tight lids or metal lids.

- Or you can use specialized food storage boxes specially designed with a rubber ring around the lid to ensure airtightness.

- To extend the "use time" of rice and cereals to several months, housewives can store them in the refrigerator. However, large quantities of food should not keep for longer than a year.

6. Ginger:

- The most common mistake made by homemakers is storing fresh ginger roots in the refrigerator right after buying them without wrapping them. This will cause the ginger to lose its aroma.

- To fix this problem, cover the ginger root with a layer of foil or wrap it in a towel and place it in an airtight plastic bag and keep it in the fridge.

- This way, the ginger can stay fresh for about three months.

Depending on the type of food, we will consider the most reasonable and effective way to preserve it. E.g.:

• To keep dry foods in the refrigerator, mothers should wrap the product with newspaper or desiccant paper or a sealed plastic bag.
• But if the food is moldy, then throw it away. Don't regret it. It will affect your health.
