Can Xiaomi be put in the fridge

Spicy millet can be stored in the refrigerator for refrigeration, but freezing may cause a decrease in taste. Short term refrigeration can delay spoilage, while long-term storage is more suitable for drying or pickling.

Fresh spicy rice contains a high amount of moisture, and it is recommended to seal it in a fresh-keeping bag when refrigerating to prevent moisture loss. Keeping the temperature between 4-8 degrees Celsius can store for about two weeks. After refrigeration, there may be slight wrinkling of the skin, but it does not affect consumption. Be careful to avoid mixing with cooked food to prevent cross contamination of flavors and bacteria. If mold or softening is found, it should be discarded immediately. Although freezing can extend the storage time to several months, the texture will become soft and lose its original brittleness after thawing. The ice crystals formed during the freezing process can damage the cell structure, leading to juice leakage and flavor loss. If long-term storage is required, it can be considered to dry chili peppers by sun drying, or to chop them and mix them with salt and oil to make chili sauce, which can be sealed and refrigerated.

It is recommended to choose the appropriate method based on the frequency of use when storing chili peppers in daily life. A small amount for short-term use can be refrigerated and stored, pay attention to checking the freshness. When making pickled or oil chili peppers, natural antibacterial ingredients such as garlic and Sichuan peppercorns can be added. gastrointestinal sensitive individuals should pay attention to controlling their food intake and avoid consuming on an empty stomach that may irritate the mucous membranes. The storage container needs to be disinfected regularly. Chili peppers in humid environments are prone to mold growth, and any abnormalities should be dealt with promptly.
