Can candy be stored in the refrigerator? How to store candy in summer?
Can candy be stored in the refrigerator? The refrigerator is not a good place to store candy. Many people like to keep candy in the fridge, but while candy is sensitive to high temperatures, storing it in the fridge for a long time can cause it to absorb the flavors of other foods, altering its taste, which is not a long-term solution. Here are two methods for storing candy that you can try. Candy Storage Methods: Iron Box Storage: Regular candy can be stored in an iron box for no more than six months, while candies that contain more fat and protein can be stored in an iron box for no more than three months. If there are signs of moisture or spoilage, be sure to throw them away. Glass Jar Low-Temperature Storage: Candy is sensitive to heat and moisture, so it can be placed in a glass jar and stored in a cool, dry place indoors. Tip: Candy should not be placed in direct sunlight and should not be stored with foods that have high moisture content. Whether using an iron box or glass storage, these points need to be noted. Candy Shelf Life: The shelf life of candy is generally six months, which may be shorter by 1-2 months in summer. During the summer and autumn seasons, when the average temperature is above 30°C and humidity is high, the shelf life of various gel candies does not exceed 12 months, and hard candies also do not exceed 12 months. The shelf life of pressed/polished candies is mainly affected by humidity, and if well-sealed, it can last 18 to 24 months.
