Use dry spoons
Use clean, dry spoons for scooping spices, sugar, and salt to prevent dampness. These powdered ingredients can absorb moisture quickly and thus dry spoons are a must.
3
Proper ventilation
Ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen. Allow fresh air to come in by opening windows. Store food away from moisture-prone areas.
4
Dry them before storing
Wash and dry fruits and vegetables before storing them separately in permeable containers. Regularly check the stored items for any symptoms of mold or spoiling.
5
Use blotting paper
Place absorbent materials like paper towels or napkins in vegetable drawers or containers to soak up excess moisture, while preserving the quality of products.
