Farming in Ghana happens to be one lucrative means, boosting the country’s economy and financial standing to other continents.
Apart from these, there can be other great benefits like getting access to foodstuffs, animal products and many more.
Yet, farm produces are very fresh and need to tended with care so that they can be healthy enough to be used for cooking.
To be able to achieve this feat, a research has been conducted on some of the ways to protect fresh foods from going bad.
You can try these four methods and save yourself the stress of having to throw away your fresh farm products all the time.
Four Ways Of Preserving Fresh Farm Produce
1. By freezing :
If you have had a lot of fresh produce delivered to you from the farm, it is important to wash them with salty water before freezing them till you need to use any. Foods like pepper, onions, eggs and cucumbers can be freezed.
2. By canning :
This preservatory method is mostly common in factories. Fresh products like tomatoes, fruit juice, dairy milk and beans can be canned and stored for a long time.
3. By fermenting :
Fresh farm produces can also be fermented, grinded, mixed with water and covered for a couple of days till ready for use. You can ferment cassava and corn for banku, churned milk for cheese and yoghurt.
4. By drying :
Although drying is not a common preservative method, it can be perfect for farm produces like potatoes, carrots, gingers or garlics.
Any of these methods can help you to preserve your farm products for a long time and even develop a business strategy out of it.
