Nowadays, the living standards of individuals and families are improving. Almost every family has a refrigerator in which all kinds of food are stored. Especially in summer, refrigerators have become electronic devices in our lives. Whether you buy a lot of meat or not, vegetables and fruits will be kept in the refrigerator to prevent them from rotting. Many people will also store some longan and ice cream in the refrigerator for heatstroke prevention and cooling.
But how long can the frozen meat at home be kept in the refrigerator? Maybe the length of time between summer and winter may be different. Let's discuss and answer related questions, and for the sake of health, let's get to know it.
1. How long can I keep the frozen meat in the refrigerator at home? You should know about the shelf life.
Just because food is kept in the refrigerator doesn't mean it is indefinite. Whether it is frozen or refrigerated, it will have its shelf life. The storage time and shelf life of each food are different. Let's look at the specific situation.
Red meat
This kind of meat mainly includes some high-quality foods such as pork, beef and mutton, which can be frozen in the refrigerator for about 10~ 12 months. Among them, the freezing time of beef is longer, and the shelf life of lean meat is relatively longer than that of fat meat.
poultry
The so-called poultry meat refers to chickens, ducks and geese. These are tired and cold, and the storage time is generally slightly shorter than that of red meat, about 8~ 10 month.
seafood
Whether it is seafood or the contents, it is generally fish, shrimp, turtle and shellfish. The freezing time of this kind of food is not long, generally not more than 6 months. So I suggest that even if you freeze them in the refrigerator, you should make sure to eat them within 4 months.
For frozen foods, some related important treatments must be done before freezing, otherwise the frozen shelf life of foods such as meat will be affected, so the internal organs of foods should be cleaned before freezing, which may extend the frozen shelf life. In addition, avoid using frozen food for a long time, because eating frozen food for a long time may lead to poisoning, accelerate aging and reduce the immune function of the body. So everyone must pay attention to it, and don't freeze it for too long in the future. When you buy food, you'd better buy it now, and eat it for a week at most. This will not only keep the food fresh, but also help your health.
No matter what ingredients or food, it is best to put them in the refrigerator for a while before taking them out, not for too long.
