13 In some cases, buying products in stock can be a good option. But not all provisions can be stored for a long time. We have prepared a list of products that do not lose their quality for several months and even years.
Honey
Honey is considered the only product that does not have an expiration date. Over time, it may crystallize, but it does not lose its initial nutritional value.
Sugar
Sugar retains its properties best when stored in a dry and cool place. Moisture can make it very hard, but even then the product will be edible.
Salt
Salt storage conditions are the same. The container in which it is stored must be sealed so that moisture and foreign odors are not absorbed. Ordinary salt can retain its taste indefinitely.
Vinegar
Vinegar also refers to products that can be bought in stock. It does not lose its properties, even if it has become less transparent and changed color during long storage. Vinegar can be stored for a very long time if the right conditions are provided: in a sealed glass bottle in a dry, dark place.
Dry milk
Milk and most products made from it have a short shelf life. However, powdered milk is an exception. In a closed jar, it can be stored in the cupboard for several years and not lose its nutritional value.
Macaroni
Dry pasta in a closed container or package also retains its properties for years. The main thing is a dry room without access to moisture.
Beans
Beans, lentils, peas and other legumes may slightly lose their shape during long-term storage, but their nutritional value and taste will remain unchanged. True, dishes from them will have to be prepared, most likely, a little longer.
White rice
White polished rice is a long-life product that can be stored for several decades. At the same time, it will not lose color, taste, or nutritional value. During storage, it is important not to allow sudden temperature jumps.
