The sanctions imposed by Russia against a number of food products produced in Western countries may well cause an increase in food prices. However, stocking up on cheese, fish and milk is not worth it - after all, such goods are stored for a very short time.
For those who wish to replenish their own stocks, we offer Top 10 products you can buy for future use.
10. Tea and coffee
The shelf life of these products is from 1 to 3 years. For lovers of natural coffee for long-term storage, it is better to purchase it in beans sealed in vacuum packaging. But tea and coffee, purchased by weight, should be stored in a tightly closed container in a dark and certainly dry place for no more than six months.
9. Grocery (sugar, salt, pasta and cereals)
Such products can be bought at wholesale warehouses and bases. Thus, you can save 10-25% of the cost. It is important to set aside a dry, dry place for storing groceries. It should be remembered. That whole grains are stored much longer than cereals.
8. Drinks
Bottled water, juices in tetra-pack packaging, carbonated drinks can be safely purchased for 6 months. The purchase of beverages in bulk can save up to 15% of their cost.
7. Canned food
Green peas, olives, fruits in syrup, stew - all these products, canned in tin and glass jars, can be stored for up to two years. But it is important to remember that there are very few useful substances in canned food.
6. Honey
In a cool and dark place, honey can retain all the beneficial properties for several years. Only storage containers should be made of glass or ceramic and have a tight lid.
5. Jamon
Jamon bought in a single piece on the bone can be stored for about a year. Typically, for such long-term storage, manufacturers pack the famous delicacy in a vacuum film. However, Spanish housewives often cover the entire leg with a layer of fat. But the shelf life of chopped jamon is no more than 4-6 months.
4. Potatoes, onions, pumpkin
If there is a dry and cool place to store potatoes and onions, you can buy for 5-6 months. However, in the conditions of a city apartment, creating ideal conditions for root crops and bulbs is practically unrealistic.
3. Cookies and chocolate
The shelf life of these treats is 6-12 months. By the way, chocolate should not be stored in the refrigerator, because of this an unpleasant white coating appears on its surface. It is enough to choose a place with an air temperature of no more than 25 degrees.
2. Alcohol
Tinctures on herbs, berries, flavored drinks are stored for no more than one year. But the shelf life of pure vodka is practically unlimited. Contrary to popular belief, bottled wine cannot be stored for decades. Noble drink will be kept only in barrels.
1. Nuts, candied fruits and dried fruits
With a shelf life of 6 months, such products can be an excellent source of vitamins, for example, in the cold winter months, when fresh fruits are expensive and not as useful as in high season.
