Keeping Food For Years
Just in case, you know...
This is from ScienceDaily.com:
"The next time you find forgotten food in the pantry, don't just toss it. Keeping food past its expiration date may not seem like a good idea, but certain foods last a lot longer than you think -- years longer.
Food scientists now know that, when properly sealed, some dried food that's been sitting on shelves for years, could still be OK to eat.
'It lasts a lot longer than we thought,' Oscar Pike a food scientist at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, tells DBIS."
