We often throw away food items just because the 'best before date' is written on them, and after that date is over, they are no longer usable. But do you know that 'best before' is applicable only when we store the food items according to the instructions written on the box? So, for example, please keep it in a dry, cool place or keep it in the fridge. But do you know several substances will not make you sick even after the expiry date? These products are honey, jam etc. At the same time, having raw seafood after the expiry date can be harmful. So, as a vigilant consumer, you must always see the best before date. But today we are telling you about some such foods that you can use for many months or even years. But to keep them edible for a long time, you also have to take care of some things; only then their nutritional value will not deteriorate with time.
White rice does not spoil for a long time
The nutrients and taste of polished rice are retained for about thirty years. But keep in mind that rice should always be stored in an oxygen-free container at a temperature below forty degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, brown rice maintains its flavour and nutritional value for only six months because of the natural oil found under its bran layer.
Pure maple syrup lasts longer
This syrup does not spoil for years and is entirely safe from mold, so its shelf life is also uncertain. Moreover, if you see mold on the top of the bottle, boil the unopened maple syrup to remove it. Then, please put it again in the bottle and store it in the fridge.
Dry beans do not spoil quickly
Research conducted by Brigham Young University has found that kidney beans do not spoil for thirty years. As a result, the power of their protein digestion remains the same. At the same time, other dry beans also last for years.
Pure vanilla extract
Pure vanilla extract contains a shelf life of 3 years, but it can last more than that. After storing it beyond three years, you may feel it's thick or has some grains in it, but if you shake it, then it will be okay again.
Keep in mind that awareness of food ingredients always keeps us healthy. Keep reading Slurrp to get more such information.
