Solution
Five factors to be kept in mind in storing semi-perishable products:
- Processed cereal products develop an off flavour or are infested by insects very easily if not taken care of. Therefore, it should be sieved and cleaned of all such contamination/exposed to sun for a few hours/allowed to cool and then stored in air-tight containers.
- Onions, garlic and potatoes should be stored in cool, dark, dry and airy places.
- Nuts should be bought in small quantities as they turn rancid and should be stored in air-tight containers.
- Suji and Dalia should be dry roasted before storing.
- Spices in dry, air-tight containers to maintain the flavour.
- Ghee and oil in an air-tight container as they turn rancid.
