As most of us are spending our days at home (we all should if we can), I‘m hoping this post about storing pantry items comes in handy 🤍 Stay safe and healthy my loves, we’re in this together! x . What I store in my pantry vs fridge varies on how fast I move through the items and quantities I have at the time. I typically buy nuts, seeds, beans, grains, etc. in bulk. I store what I’ll eat in the upcoming weeks or months in the pantry and the rest in the fridge/freezer. If they’re not stored properly, they‘ll go rancid or stale quickly. ↡ General rules I follow for storing nuts: • Use air-tight glass containers. • Whole nuts keep better than chopped or ground nuts. • Roasted nuts turn rancid quicker than raw nuts. • Shelled nuts have shorter shelf life than nuts in the shell. • Nuts absorb odors, keep them away from smelly foods like onions. • Light, heat, humidity and excess moisture cause nuts to spoil faster. • Store at room temp for 3 months, fridge for 6 months and freezer for a year. • Label containers with the date of purchase to keep track of which to consume first. ↡ If you have enough fridge or freezer space I would recommend popping them in there right away to keep everything fresh — you don’t have to worry about any food going to waste🌿 ↡ Full post is up on my blog (link in bio @raw_manda) and for those asking it includes what jars and label maker I use🙂 If you have any super rad storage tips or just want to show some love, leave your comments below💛 posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/39ekhcD
