What happens during rainy season?
With the arrival of monsoon, along with greenery all around, the humidity in the environment also increases, due to which many things start getting spoiled. Especially, the vegetables kept in the fridge start getting spoiled quickly due to moisture. The life of vegetables decreases, and they start smelling bad. Many times, fruits, spices also start getting spoiled. They look wet. The biggest problem is of sugar getting moist.
These factors lead to the refrigerators emanating foul smell as the food items get rotten. In fact, it gets so bad that you don’t feel like opening the refrigerator’s door or keep anything in it.
What is the use of salt in these situations?
You have been adding salt to food for years, but have you ever tried keeping salt in the fridge? During the rainy season, keep a bowl full of salt in the fridge. Here is how keeping salt in the fridge helps. When you open the fridge again and again, the vegetables, fruits, cooked food inside lead to accumulation of moisture inside. When the humidity increases, all the food items start rotting quickly. Many times, bacteria get a chance to grow due to moisture.
By keeping salt in a bowl, it will absorb the moisture in the fridge since salt naturally absorbs moisture. Hence, the moisture inside the fridge will be reduced and it will remain dry and clean.
What else does putting salt in fridge do?
When you keep salt in the fridge, it will remove the stench due to moisture. Fruits, vegetables, cooked food, milk, curd, butter etc. kept in the fridge start releasing gases, due to which the fridge starts smelling bad. In such a situation, keep a bowl of salt in any part of the fridge. It can absorb moisture as well as smell.
You just have to put 3-4 spoons of salt in a small bowl and place it in any part of the fridge. If the salt is coarse and coarse grained, it will be more effective. After 5-6 days, replace it with fresh salt. After absorbing moisture and smell, the properties of salt become ineffective.
