name 3 traditional methods of preserving foods and give an example for each methods?

Answer 1

1. Canning..this is preserving fruits and vegetables in jars for later use. the fruits or veggies are cooked and them placed in sterilized jars and sealed. ie.. jams and jellies
2. Blanching. this is dipping veggies in boiling water and partially cooking them and then plunging them in cold water to stop the cooking process, and then freezing them. ie Frozen vegetables.
3. Curing or Smoking Meats. Lots of meats are cured and preserved with just salt and left to sit for anywhere from 3 months to 18months as is done with the Spanish Serrano Ham.Or you can dry and preserve by smoking them in a smoke house... same can be done for fish.

4 Dehydration.. You can see examples of this with dried fruits like banana chips or cherries.. the fruits are preserved by taking out the moisture, and then storing until needed.

Traditional Methods Of Food Preservation

Answer 3

Pickling: Pickled Eggs - for a common reference, Kim Chee - for a traditional one (Kim Chee is an ancient Korean Pickled spicy cabbage dish, that's used as a side dish/condiment... sort of like sauerkraut (another example)

Smoking: Bacon - which will last almost forever if you do it right (modern store-bought bacon is not properly smoked to last for much longer than a few months in the fridge, but do it yourself correctly, and you can leave bacon in a cool dark place, wrapped in cloth (like a basement/cellar) and it will last for years.

Salt-Curing: Country Ham (again, will last almost forever if done correctly)... for a more traditional example, Gravlax - it's a salt/sugar-cured salmon that's been around the Scandinavian region for centuries.

Dehydrating: Rasins, Beef Jerky, Powdered Milk, Space Food, Army Rations (the older ones, not MREs)...

Answer 6

1. If it is a meat kind you can corn it, (this means you put a whole lot of salt on it) The salt will kill bacteria. 2. You can freeze your food also ( people always do this to ackee). 3. Some people also pickle their food.

Answer 7

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
