How to store pork at home?
How to store bee bread? This question is asked by many people who first happened to meet with this product. In fact, such a case must be treated with special attention. After all, how the bee bread will be stored depends on its quality.
Perga, or bee bread, is a beekeeping product. Bees collect pollen, then they process it with their enzymes and place them in cells, and cover with wax from above. When the honeycomb is in the hive, oxygen does not enter into them, and fermentation occurs inside. So the bee bread is enriched with lactic acid, which makes it a unique product. Bee bread is indispensable due to its composition. It is used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases. But for this product to remain useful, it must be properly stored.
Terms and conditions of storage
How long bee bread will be stored depends on the conditions in which it is located. Corked in a natural way (namely by bees), this product lasts no more than one year. Indeed, thanks to the wax, which insects seal the honeycombs, air does not enter the perge.
In the process of extracting bee bread, its beneficial properties are lost for several days. This product is very sensitive to temperature extremes. For him, the temperature is considered to be ideal 0–12 ° C (it all depends on the storage method). Perga does not like moisture. If she lies for a day or two in damp, then she can be thrown away. Achieving suitable conditions is very difficult.
How to create good storage conditions for bee bread? The first rule is the use of sealed containers of small size. It will provide protection against mold. It can be containers or jars (it is advisable to choose containers with dark walls). Do not take too much capacity. After all, it will often have to be opened, and this threatens that the product will deteriorate.
Dealt with the container! But with the temperature regime it is more difficult if there is no special equipment. Many people use an ordinary refrigerator, in which there is a regulator of cold. But you should be aware that each shelf has a different temperature. Therefore, before you put the beef in the refrigerator, you need to play it safe and find the perfect place for bee bread.
Sometimes beekeepers store their products in the basement. After all, there are many of her, and she does not fit in an ordinary refrigerator. But for this product, the basement is not a good option. In such rooms the humidity is too high, which is dangerous for the pork. In addition, in winter there is a risk that the temperature drops below 0 ° C, and there is usually no heating. But if the basement is heated, then this also becomes a problem. A sharp temperature drop and overheating of bee bread - this is death for him. Therefore, do not store such valuable products in the basement.
Tip
Extraneous odors should be avoided at the storage site.
The main ways
At home, it is difficult to achieve an ideal climate for bee bread, so that it retains its beneficial qualities for as long as possible. From year to year, beekeepers sophisticated themselves and invented new methods, but in the end they came to the conclusion that there are only three ways to store this product. It all depends on what form the bee bread is in: granules, honeycombs or ground.
- Granules.
Purga in granules is considered the highest quality of all three, as it undergoes thorough cleaning. Bee bread in a special way gets from honeycombs. In appearance, it resembles granules that are cleaned of wax and merva, and then well dried. This type is considered the most convenient for storage at home. It is recommended to place the granulated beef in bags or glass jars of dark glass. In this form, bee bread can be stored even at room temperature.He is not very picky. Do not screw the main cover all the way until it is slightly ajar. So air will flow to the product. Do not refrigerate granular beef. Humidity will cause mold growth.
- Honeycombs.
This is the most natural kind of bee bread. It is necessary for him to choose a place where it will be dry, and the temperature will not exceed 5 ° C. Also, check the humidity level (maximum - 75%). Perga in honeycombs is not stored for long, because it lends itself to mold. Experienced beekeepers have found a way that will help the honeycombs survive a little longer: it is necessary to pour honey in the honeycomb. So there will be no air access to bee bread. After all, bees do not always seal her with wax. To prevent spoilage of the product with wax moth, it is necessary to put a bowl of vinegar in the room where the bee bread is stored.
- Parmig pasta.
Sometimes this type is called ground bee bread. It is obtained as follows: the bee bread in honeycombs is crushed, and then honey is added to it, the proportion of which should not exceed 1/3 of the total mass. The paste should be stored in a clean dish in a cool, dry place (2–4 ° C). Do not allow the sun to fall on it.
Now it is known how to store pork at home. It will take a lot of effort, but it's worth it. Indeed, beehive is an excellent tool for the treatment of many diseases.
