Most of the food we buy ends up in the garbage, either because we buy more than we need, or because we do not store them in the best way for them to be better preserved. To avoid this food and economic mess, here are 10 tips to keep your food as long as possible.
Tips To Keep Your Healthy Food Fresh Longer:
1 - The eggs:
If you have a stock of raw eggs at home, which you will not be able to use on time, you can still freeze them. Yes, it is possible to freeze the eggs. All you have to do is put them in ice cube trays! Beat them so they have a liquid texture and place them in the freezer. If you are to separate the whites and yellow from the egg, this tip is also convenient for that. However, add a pinch of salt or sugar to keep the egg yolks well and prevent them from becoming gelatinous.
Eggs can be stored up to 4 months in the freezer.
2 - The milk:

3 - Onions:
