Refrigerator is really convenient, ice watermelon, ice drinks, frozen popsicles …… but the refrigerator is not a safe, not all food is suitable to put into it. Nutritional loss, taste deterioration, bacterial multiplication, some food, although stored in the refrigerator, but can not avoid these changes. What is the correct use of the refrigerator rules? Let’s listen to what the authoritative experts say. Six kinds of food afraid to enter the refrigerator The weather is getting hotter and hotter, in order to let the food safety over the summer, many people will “invite” them into the refrigerator. But do you know, the following kinds of food is actually not suitable for the refrigerator. 1, sealed leafy greens vegetables with water storage is easy to breed bacteria, especially leafy vegetables physiological activity is high, sealed too tightly, too much water, more likely to rot and deterioration, drop leaves. Suggestion: dry the water on the surface first, then put them into special food bags in the refrigerator. Before storage, first tie the bag a few permeable holes to ensure that its breathability is good. 2, tomatoes, unripe fruit in the low temperature, tomatoes and the production of aromatic substances related to the gene is like “frozen”, resulting in its flavor is greatly reduced. Fruits that are not yet ripe are put in the refrigerator and will continue to be unripe because of the low-temperature chill, and even if they are moved to room temperature, they will soon rot. Suggestion: tomatoes can be stored at room temperature. After the fruit is bought home, it should be restored to the state it was in when it was purchased as early as possible. For example, if the fruit is frozen when it was purchased, it means it has been refrigerated and should be put in the refrigerator as early as possible after it is bought home; if it is purchased at room temperature, it should be cooled and ripened before it is refrigerated. 3, naked leftovers, cut fruit Food is easy to string taste, but also increase the risk of bacterial cross-contamination. Hot meals directly into the refrigerator, will cause water vapor condensation, prompting mold growth, leading to mold in the refrigerator other food. Suggestions: leftover food should be cooled and wrapped in a clean container such as a plastic box or plastic bag before putting it in the refrigerator, and it must be fully heated before eating. Cut fruit should be covered with clean plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator, you can cut off the surface layer before eating. 4, honey honey put in the refrigerator, will accelerate the speed of its sugar crystallization, prone to precipitation, thus becoming difficult to scoop out, but also affect the taste. However, it should be noted that this change does not affect the safety of honey, nor its nutritional value, but only affects the uniformity of taste. Suggestions: Honey has a high sugar concentration, relatively high osmotic pressure, very little free water, and microorganisms are unable to multiply. It can be stored in a cool place at room temperature, without refrigeration. 5.Chocolate After putting the chocolate into the refrigerator, it will cause the frosting on the surface of the chocolate or cause the anti-frosting phenomenon due to the oil, and the taste will become rough. After chocolate is frozen or refrigerated, the condensed water on the surface is conducive to the reproduction and growth of bacteria, which may cause mold on the surface. Suggestion: The best storage temperature for chocolate is 5℃~18℃, and it is best not to store in the refrigerator. 6, powdered and dry food If the seal is not tight, but will make the refrigerator taste and moisture into the food, both affect the flavor, but also easy to mold. Take out, because of the temperature difference, the surface is easy to condensation and become wet, thus more likely to deteriorate. Suggestion: this kind of food does not need to put into the refrigerator, put in a cool dry place can. These foods should be put in the refrigerator Milk becomes bitter, grain grows worms, shrimp tastes …… sweltering summer, everything is messed up, many of the usual food can be kept at room temperature also began to deteriorate. The following types of food are best refrigerated in the summer. 1, nuts More nut oil composition, under the influence of ultraviolet light, oxygen and moisture, fat oxidation will occur, leading to rancidity, deterioration, producing a pungent and unpleasant smell. Summer weather is humid, nuts are easy to absorb the moisture in the air to soften, and even by mold. Suggestions: after buying nuts home, it is recommended that the first time while dry divided into an amount that can be eaten, sealed and put into the freezer. 2, dried fruit, dried mushrooms, shrimp and other dried products This type of food in the hot and humid summer is prone to mold, insects or moisture absorption and softening. Suggestion: If you don’t finish eating after opening the bag, it is recommended to expose it to the sun or heat it in the microwave oven to ensure that the moisture is removed and the insect eggs are killed. After cooling, use sealed containers to store in the refrigerator freezer. 3. Rice, beans and other grains In summer, beans and rice are prone to worm growth. If they are divided in advance into small packages that can be eaten at a time, packaged tightly and placed in the freezer, frozen for two or three weeks, the eggs can not be properly “sprouted”. Suggestions: You can give priority to buying vacuum-packed food, because corn and rice, etc. are the food that mold likes, but under vacuum conditions, mold is difficult to move. 4, steamed buns, bread and other starchy food This type of food if storage time of more than three days, should be divided into plastic bags into a time to finish the independent packaging, sealed tightly into the refrigerator freezer, eat before full heating can be. 5, bean paste, sesame paste and other sauces condiments high summer temperatures, sauce food will slowly fat oxidation reaction, and the flavor deterioration. If you can’t finish it in two or three weeks after opening, it’s best to put it in the refrigerator.
