Many times we end up throwing away expired or poorly preserved food, a waste which is definitely unnecessary. Whether it is a long shelf life or a short one, every food can be stored taking full advantage of its shelf life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two favorite foods that we always have in our kitchen are the potato and the sweet potato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The potato has a long shelf life, where under the right conditions, it can last a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it is a very good practice to store in a shady, dry but well ventilated environment, covered with burlap or other cotton cloth. The cover protects from light and dust, but also allows the root to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way you will have potatoes in excellent condition, even for 2 months without lime of course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
