Monsoon Food Storage: Best Practices for Keeping Foods Fresh

The cool rain of the monsoon brings relief from the sweltering heat. However, it also brings higher humidity and dampness, which can spoil food and cause illness. At such times, it becomes crucial to store edible items properly so that they stay fresh and safe. This article will take you through monsoon healthy tips for food storage.

Best Practices for Keeping Different Types of Food in Monsoon

Here are some habits to embrace to protect edible items during the rainy season:

1. Use Airtight Containers

Imagine superheroes in your kitchen ensuring that your food is safe from the reach of moisture. Airtight containers can be invisible shields to save all your beloved snacks and munchies during the monsoon season.  They will lock in flavours and textures at the click of a button or twist, preventing your food from getting soggy. The best way to store vegetables in the fridge is in these containers. They will keep the items fresh and also prevent your refrigerator from emitting any odour.  

2. Divide Your Food in the Fridge

The concept of keeping your fridge as organised as a pantry can help. You would never put your spices alongside your grains. Give each food group their own little piece of the room. This way, you won't inadvertently come upon mushy tomatoes while looking for a slice of cheese. Again, use air-tight containers here.

3. Use Plastic Sheets

Whether it is an assortment of chopped fruits or remnants from yesterday's meal left within a serving dish, securely envelop them with plastic wrap or aluminium foil. This protective shield not only maintains their freshness but also safeguards their nourishing worth. Likewise, preserve your leafy greens by wrapping them in damp paper towels or storing them in permeable plastic bags. This guarantees that they stay crunchy and prepared to uplift your salads and other cuisine.
