Expert Yulia Limisheva announced that proper preservation and storage of food helps to lengthen its shelf life and quality. Limisheva, in a conversation with the Russian agency Prime, points out that correctly storing products and foods in the refrigerator according to the temperature of each shelf increases their shelf life and maintains their quality.
According to her, it is important to note that the temperature in the refrigerator varies from shelf to shelf. She says, "For example, the refrigerator door is suitable for storing sauces, drinks, and jams. The upper shelves of the refrigerator are suitable for perishable foods such as meats and various dairy products. The lower shelves and drawers are suitable for storing fruits and vegetables."
The expert emphasizes that it is essential to store fruits, vegetables, and dairy products separately, and it is better for them to be wrapped, but not in plastic bags, rather in paper bags or cardboard boxes. She adds that it is preferable to store ready-made foods on the middle shelves of the refrigerator in containers or boxes. She also advises against placing hot foods in the refrigerator.
