Put garlic in rice

Garlic is a common food in our lives. Some people are very sensitive to the taste of garlic and do not like to eat it, but many cold dishes cannot do without garlic, which can enhance the flavor and is good for health. Since garlic has a strong smell, many people put garlic in rice. This can effectively prevent rice from being infested with insects. This method is simple and effective.

When garlic and rice are eaten together, the starch in the rice will wrap the garlic. After entering the stomach, the irritation of the garlic is not felt to be strong because the irritating components of the garlic do not directly contact the stomach wall. At the same time, rice can also reduce the smell of garlic.

Putting garlic in rice is an insect-proof technique

Method 1: Put one or two cloves of garlic (or star anise) in the box where rice is stored to avoid the trouble of insects.

Method 2: Divide 50g of Sichuan pepper evenly into 4 parts, wrap each part with gauze and tie it tightly with cotton thread. Put 10kg of rice in a covered rice jar, place the gauze-wrapped peppercorns into the four corners of the jar, and bury them in the rice. This can effectively prevent rice from becoming an adult insect.

Pest-proof storage of other grains

1. Put the purchased rice in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it for four hours to kill the insect eggs.

2. Wash and dry the empty plastic oil barrel, put the frozen rice in the dry plastic oil barrel, and cover it.

Keep flying insects out.

In addition, grains that are not seriously infested with insects should also be placed in the freezer of the refrigerator and frozen for four hours to kill the insect eggs. Then they can be stored according to the above method.

Usually you should pay attention to:

(1) Rice should not be stored together with fish, meat, vegetables and other foods with high moisture content, otherwise the rice will absorb moisture and become moldy.

(2) Rice should not be stored in the kitchen because the temperature and humidity in the kitchen are high, which greatly affects the quality of rice.

(3) Rice should not be placed against the wall. It is usually placed on a pad. The purpose is also to prevent the rice from getting moldy or infested with insects.

(4) Rice should not be placed near the stove. If the rice is too close to a heat source, it will heat up and cause quality changes.

Rice pest prevention methods:

1. Put the rice in a clean container, fill each wine bottle with 50-100 grams of white wine, bury the opening in the rice, and make sure the bottle mouth is slightly higher than the rice surface. Seal the container. However, this storage method should not be used later than late spring or early summer, and the container mouth must be sealed tightly.

2. Put a piece of garlic or chili wrapped in cloth in the rice jar, one in the middle of the bottom of the jar and one on the rice surface;

3. Put the dried rice into a rice jar, put a layer of paper on the mouth of the jar, and then cover it with a layer of straw ash 2-3 cm thick.

4. Put the dried rice into a cloth bag first, and then into a polyethylene plastic bag. Squeeze out the air with your hands, tie it tightly with a rope close to the rice, and place it in a cool and dry place to prevent mildew and borers.
