Question

make a note of what method have been used to store food in your home for a long times.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Year-long supplies of fresh food have been made possible by improvements in controlled storage

conditions, shipping and importing. A fresh weekly food supply at the local supermarket has eliminated the

need for the home preservation and food processing of earlier days. Today, we may choose to preserve and

process food for reasons besides availability such as the price of food, quality and nutrition. For these

reasons, gardeners who find themselves with a surplus of fresh produce at the end of the season may

decide to store and preserve.

There are five methods of storing vegetables and fruit: drying, canning, curing and salting, freezing and

common storage. Which method is chosen depends upon the type of produce, the quality desired and the

facilities available for storage.

Regardless of the method chosen, some general rules should be followed:

1. Use only fresh produce.

2. Begin the preservation process immediately after harvest.

3. Avoid damaged, cut, bruised and pest or disease infested produce.

4. Use all preserved produce within one year of storage.
