Read to the end to get the most useful information.
1. Linen bag
A decade ago, freshly baked bread was wrapped in linen. The material was meant to keep the bread crisp and fresh. Forgotten for many years, such packaging is now returning to use. On the shelves of large chain stores, you can already find baked goods packed in linen bags. Nothing prevents you from sewing them yourself to store your own bread.
Flax protects bread from mold, provides air circulation. It is an absolutely safe and natural material that does not interact with the product. The bag itself is easy to keep clean. When it gets dirty, just wash it in the washing machine and dry well.
2. Cotton bag
Good quality cotton is also an excellent material for storing bread. You can sew the bag yourself or buy it. This is not an expensive investment, especially considering the quality of the stored product.
Cotton bread bags are an ecological alternative to plastic bags. They allow air to circulate so that the bread does not grow moldy or spoil. Particles of such material also do not penetrate into the product.
Cotton bread bags have another advantage: they look aesthetically pleasing - they are not only used for storing food, but also as a decorative element of the kitchen.
How to store bread?
Most of us eat bread every day. Unfortunately, this product deteriorates very quickly. Mold appears on its surface, which means that it was poorly stored. A plastic bag creates excellent conditions for the development of fungi, which quickly multiply and grow in size. Such bread is no longer suitable for anything, it also cannot be given to animals.
It should also be remembered that bread should be stored in a dry place at room temperature; storage of bread in the refrigerator is not recommended.
