Sources and Food Preservation

1.Why Do We Store Fish and Vegetables in Refrigerators?

  • The temperature inside a refrigerator does not allow the microbes to grow on food.
  • Hence food can be kept fresh for 4-6 days inside a refrigerator.
  • On the other hand, if kept outside, the food will be deteriorated by the growth of microbes on it.

2.What Is Searing?

  • Searing is a process of cooking. It is a slow cooking process hence do not destroy the nutrients of food items due to heating or cooking.
  • This process cooks meat or fish on a grill or fry pan.
  • The outer layer of the food is lightly fried until a brown crust appears.
  • Mostly meat and fish are seared and eaten with grilled vegetables.
