Tips for storing food for a long time in the refrigerator.

According to nutritionists, food should be soaked in diluted salt water, drained, and then stored in the refrigerator to preserve its nutrients.

Due to work schedules, many housewives don't have time to go to the market regularly, so they often have to buy meat/fish/shrimp to last them the whole week.

In this case, according to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thi Lam, Deputy Director of the Institute of Nutrition, to better preserve food, housewives should: After washing, soak the food in a diluted salt solution of about 2-3g salt/1 liter of clean water for 5 minutes, allowing the salt water to penetrate evenly into the surfaces of the meat/fish.

Afterward, remove from the water, drain, place in a clean plastic bag (the kind specifically for food), and then freeze. It's best to use within a week. Fish and meat can be frozen for up to a month without spoiling, but some of the fat may have oxidized, so they won't taste as good anymore.
