Can I use plastic bags? The flour factory teaches that there is only one way to store flour

Megan Steintrager, editor of Simply Recipes, asks flour manufacturer King Arthur Baking Company to store flour to best preserve flour. This flour company sells more than a dozen kinds of flour and various baking ingredients, and has a long history of preserving flour.

Sealed containers can be anti-humidity, anti-heat, and anti-odor

Frank Tegethoff, an expert in the R&D department of Yasse King Baking Company, said that no matter what kind of flour, whole-meal flour, gluten-free or vitiligo powder are used, they must be installed in a sealed container. The material of the container is not about plastic, glass, metal or silicone, as long as it is not air-tight, the focus is on anti-humidity, anti-heat and anti-odor.

Tejitov said that if you use plastic bags to disguise flour, you must use a sealable ice bag. The tight metal silk is definitely not good. After packaging, label the outer surface, mark the contents, which day it will be distributed, and the "validity period" on the original packaging, and put it in the container/disk bag.

Flour is stored in a dry place. The refrigeration is better.

Sealing and marking are completed. How to store it? All flour and fine grinding flour can be placed in a cool, dry, dark space, such as in a cupboard for a period of time. All marinade flour and vegetarian powder should be placed in an ice cabinet or a cucumber to prevent the oil from becoming acidic. If you are not commonly used in general flour and ferment powder, it is best to have ice-fill; if the cold storage space is not enough, it is also possible to refrigerate it in the refrigerator, but it should be kept fresh, or cool.

The flour has passed its shelf life and can still be eaten without any strange taste! However, some types of flours are marked as "best use" period except

. For example, "best if used by " or "best if used before "). This is the "best quality" guarantee date recommended by the manufacturer, not the safe use date. As long as the refrigerator is properly stored, there will be no safety problems after passing the "best use" date.

The finely ground flour, whether it is white flour, versatile flour, high-gluten flour or naked marinade powder, can be used safely as long as it looks and sounds the same as when it was first divided.

Asser King Company said that all-meal flour, black marinade bread flour, ginger flour, etc. are more likely to change the taste because of their high fat content and are easy to change the taste. After the "best use" period, it is best to lose it. The same goes for Porcelain powder.

Also note that for pastry or bread recipes that require noodles, use self-produced flour. If the best service life is over, it may not be good or even unable to be distributed, then it will be useless.
