Dried fruits are a common food in our daily life, and they are loved by everyone because of their unique taste and rich nutrition. However, once the dried fruit is wet, it will not only affect the taste, but may also cause spoilage and mold. What to do with dried fruits when they get wet? How do dried fruits protect from moisture? Let's find out!
Causes and solutions:
Dried fruits are damp mainly because the ambient humidity is too high, causing the dried fruits to absorb too much water. In the south, moisture is more common for dried fruits due to the humid climate.
Method 1: Drying method
Dry the dried fruits in a ventilated and dry place, taking care not to expose them directly to the sun so as not to affect the taste. During the drying process, it is necessary to turn frequently to ensure that the dried fruits are evenly dried. Generally, after a few days of drying, the dried fruit can regain its original taste and quality.
Method 2: Oven drying method
If the amount of dried fruit that is damp is large, or if it is not convenient to dry, consider using an oven to dry it. Preheat the oven to low and place the damp dried fruits in a baking dish, taking care not to accumulate too thickly, so as not to affect the drying effect. During the baking process, turn the dried fruits frequently and pay attention to the humidity in the oven to avoid burning. Generally, after baking for a few minutes to ten minutes, the dried fruit can restore its original taste and quality.
1 Sealed and stored:
Putting dried fruits in a sealed bag or sealed jar and expelling air as much as possible can effectively prevent moisture from entering. At the same time, pay attention to the storage location and avoid contact with wet items.
2. Place the desiccant:
Putting an appropriate amount of desiccant in the container where the dried fruits are stored can effectively absorb excess water and keep the dried fruits dry. However, it should be noted that the desiccant should not be in direct contact with food, so as not to cause effects on human health.
3. Dehumidification of hygroscopic agent:
The use of hygroscopic agents can adsorb and remove moisture in the air, commonly used hygroscopic agents are limestone, calcium chloride, etc. Placing the moisture absorber near the container where the dried fruits are stored can effectively reduce the humidity of the air and prevent the dried fruits from getting wet. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequency and amount of moisture absorbent replacement to avoid affecting human health.
The cold and wet weather in the south is difficult for many northerners to adapt to, because the dry air and warm heating in the north contrast with the cold and wet weather in the south. In the south, winter not only has to endure low temperatures, but also humid air and clothing. In order to cope with the wet and cold weather in the south, we can take the following measures:
1. Use a dehumidifier:
Using a dehumidifier indoors can effectively reduce the humidity of the air and reduce the humidity of clothes and items. Small items such as dehumidification bags or dehumidification boxes can also be used to help reduce the humidity of the air.
2. Drying laundry:
In the southern region, drying laundry is a good way to keep out moisture. Drying clothes in a ventilated and dry place can effectively remove moisture from the clothes and keep them dry and comfortable.
3. Keep the room ventilated:
Frequent opening of windows for ventilation can effectively reduce indoor humidity and remove indoor dirty air. But be careful to close windows in case of haze or poor air quality.
4. Use a stove or air conditioner:
Using a stove or air conditioner can effectively raise the indoor temperature and reduce the humidity of clothing and items. You can also use the blower function to speed up the drying of clothes.
The wet and cold weather in the south is really difficult, but as long as we take appropriate measures, we can effectively reduce indoor humidity and keep clothes dry and comfortable. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to moisture-proof treatment when storing dried fruits and other foods, so as not to affect the quality and taste of food. I hope my introduction was helpful to you.
