Humidity affects flour quality and shelf life
As the monsoon season gradually retreats, it leaves behind a significant increase in humidity that can impact the quality and shelf life of stored food items, especially flour. Flour, a staple in many kitchens, is highly susceptible to moisture absorption, leading to clumping, mold growth, and pest infestations. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt effective storage strategies to keep your flour dry and fresh during this transitional period.
