If it comes in a great bag, just pressing all the air out and clipping the top would be enough. Even if you use a Rubbermaid container, the container must not be too big for the food, because two inches of air on top of the food makes it go stale fast. You can also use zip lock freezer bags, and very little extra air would be in them, remember it's the moisture in the air that makes food go bad, that's why those vacuumed sealed bags stay fresh so long, all the air is sucked out. Keeping the food in the coolest place possible helps with freshness too. |
