Dried fruits should be some common snacks in everyone's home, and there are rich and varied types of dried fruits, and each type of dried fruit has a different taste. When buying dried fruits at home, you must pay attention to the storage method, otherwise the dried fruits will easily spoil if they are not stored properly. The storage methods of dried fruits are different for different seasons. So how to store dried fruits in summer?

How to store nuts better

1. It is best to place it in a dry environment to avoid moisture, and a well-ventilated place is generally better. It is better to put it in a sunny room. Wrap it in plastic bags before storing.

2. Place it in a sealed container. Glass bottles are better than plastic bottles. Glass is stable and will not volatilize harmful substances. Make sure the glass bottle is dry and clean before putting dried fruits in it.

3. If you are worried, you can put some tea leaves when storing them. Tea leaves can absorb moisture to ensure that the nuts will not be affected by moisture. Don't put too much tea, just put some according to the number of dried fruits.

4. If you store a lot of nuts, use some desiccant appropriately to achieve the best storage effect of dried fruits. But do not eat the desiccant, especially keep it out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

5. The main problems with nuts are moisture and oxidation. If you open a bag of nuts on a rainy day, you will find that they become soft and "skinny" within a few hours. This is because they have absorbed water. Once the moisture level rises, mold will come knocking and aflatoxin will be easily produced. Therefore, you must be careful to package it while it is dry, or package it after baking. Seal each bag tightly with at least one tight clip. If the weather is humid, it is best to eat it within one hour after opening the bag. If you find that it has a slight musty smell or a stale smell, you must discard it.

6. Nuts must be kept away from moisture, otherwise they will easily deteriorate. But it can't be too dry, and pay attention to heat insulation, otherwise the dried fruit will easily release oil, which will change the taste.
