Today's Assignment
Create a storage area in your home that is an ideal area for your food supply
A storage room or area need not be large, but it should be well-organized and up-to-date. It should be easy to get into, and provide easy access to every product. Try to keep foods off the floor, leave some in boxes, and leave room for air to circulate among boxes and products.
The temperature should be fairly constant, with little or no humidity. Generally, foods store best at temperatures between 40 and 60 degrees. The lower the temperature, without freezing, the longer the life. Shelf life diminishes at higher temperatures
Car ports are sometimes too cold unless food is well protected in teh winter, and too hot in the summer. In apartments and homes without a basement, keep as cool as possible and keep a good rotation. Do not store in utility rooms or by a furnace.
Temperature is so vitally important to the success of food storage, it should be carefully considered when choosing the storage area.
