How to Keep Your Food Fresh for Longer

As countries around the world go into lockdown, people face challenges in getting food and especially during Ramadan. In order to ensure availability of necessities for everyone, each household gets limited purchase, making it extremely important not to waste it. Hence, here are some tips to keep your food fresh for longer.

Wrapping

Using premium wrapping to protect your food can make them last longer. They can be found in the variety of PVDC Cling film, PVC or PE cling film and are considered ideal for storing raw vegetables, fruits, poultry, seafood, tortilla dough without any fear of discoloration or oxidization and thus eliminates any wastage of food.

Different fridge shelves for different food

Different food products have different requirements and some get damaged more quickly. It is important that ready to eat foods such as dairy, cooked meats, raw meat, poultry and fish, salad, fruit and vegetables are stored in different shelves of the freezer.

Separate fruits and vegetables

It is important to store fruits and vegetables separately because some fruits give off a gas called ethylene glycol which quickens ripening and may cause spoilage in some vegetables. Also, some fruits absorb odors from vegetables making them unpalatable.

Swipe lemon juice

The acid from citrus fruits can help preserve other fruits such as avocado slices. By swiping a little lemon juice on it, it helps prevent premature browning and keeps your fruits fresh for longer.
