Food Saving Tips

Because the technique is not proper storage, waste is estimated to each family for more than 50 pounds of food each month and spend approximately USD 400 thousand for food that eventually rot and must be discarded.

Raw foods such as vegetables, fruits, milk, until the spices are included in the goods that could not last long and easily rot. Therefore, the appropriate storage system is essential to the food not wasted.

Consider the following storage tips:

1. Eggs
Store eggs in the egg-like containers that are sold in the market and then stored in the refrigerator shelves. In this way the eggs can survive up to 4 weeks from date of purchase.

2. Meat
Keep the meat in a special container in the refrigerator closed to be used up to 3-4 days. If the new will be processed in a time long enough to freeze the meat in the freezer.

3. Hard cheese
Cheese in plastic wrap or airtight foil so the cheese can be used 2-4 months from the date of purchase.

4. Milk and yoghurt
Store yogurt in the refrigerator to keep the good bacteria remain alive until they reach the digestive tract and can consume up to 2 weeks post-purchase. In the meantime, you should not store milk in the fridge because the air temperature here tends to be warmer. This will shorten the life of milk.

5. Vegetables
Make sure the vegetables dry when stored. The remaining water in the stems or leaves can be speed up decay. You can also wrap the vegetables with dry paper.

6. Fruits
We recommend that you keep the fruit in a plastic container with ventilation. Separate the fruit that was rotten with the conditions. Especially for a peeled apple, you can sprinkle a little lemon juice to prevent rust. Avoid storing near vegetable apple because apple produces ethylene, a chemical compound that can make quick vegetable rot.
