Improper storage is one of the main reasons grains lose flavor or get infested. Here’s how to keep your staples fresh for longer:
• **Rice**
•- Store in airtight containers to prevent moisture.
•- Add a few dried red chilies or bay leaves to keep insects away.
• **Pulses**
•- Keep them in airtight glass or plastic jars.
•- Sun-dry them once every few months to retain freshness.
• **Flour**
•- Always store in a cool, dry place.
•- Add a little neem leaf or dry turmeric stick to prevent bugs.
• **Pro Tip:** Use transparent containers — it helps you keep track of quantity and
condition at a glance.
