Dry fruits get spoiled in this many days..
Ramesh Gupta says that if you have bought dry fruits like cashews, almonds, walnut kernels from the open market and kept them in the kitchen, then rest assured that they will start getting spoiled within a month. Even if you have stored them in an airtight container, they will still start getting spoiled. You may not be able to see this. You may think that it is fine but in reality, changes will start taking place in them.
The worm gets bitten..
Especially cashew nuts get infested with worms. Its husk starts flying off. Many times, when we buy cashew nuts from the market, they have husks in the packet. Do not buy such cashew nuts at all. Within a month, the taste of almonds also starts changing or its skin starts peeling off. The colour of raisins, munakka etc. starts changing. Sometimes stickiness also increases. In such a situation, it should be assumed that these are getting spoiled.
Dry fruits need to be deep frozen
Gupta says that 90 percent of the people who buy dry nuts and store them in boxes in the kitchen and keep eating them for many months are eating bad cashews and almonds. In fact, whenever you buy dry fruits, keep them in a deep fridge. Take them out only when you want to use them. By doing this, there is no spoilage in dry fruits for 3-4 months.
It does not spoil quickly in the peel.
The right way to store dry fruits is to store them in cold storage. In cold storage at a temperature of minus 3-4 degrees, they can last up to one and a half years. However, it is important to note that in cold storage, they are kept on the shelf i.e. in a thick peel. For example, almonds are kept with their peels and remain intact. Dry fruits with their peels have a longer shelf life. Therefore, if you are buying dry fruits with peels, they can last a few days longer. You can also keep them outside for a few days.
Whenever you buy, keep these 3 things in mind
Ramesh Gupta says that whenever you buy almonds, cashews, raisins, walnuts or any dry fruits, keep one thing in mind that its packing should be air tight. Do not buy dry fruits with loose packing. Such dry fruits get spoiled quickly.
. Do not buy dry fruits sold in the open. If you are buying them, store them in a deep fridge. Or consume them within 1 month.
. Always check the manufacturing date of dry fruits and do not buy loose stored cashews and almonds whose manufacturing date is more than two months old.
