Food that is not a normal part of the diet will most likely not be used and will result in waste. Rotation is easily achieved when families adhere to the old adage. Properly storing and rotating food will maximize nutritional quality and eating quality and eliminate waste. Non-fat dried milk is often a food item that gets old and takes on off flavors before it is used. If the milk is mixed in a blender and is cold, most people find the blend very acceptable.
Honey stored for long periods tend to sugar or crystallize.
Before storing the honey, heat 8 cups of honey and 8 teaspoons of lemon juice to a rolling boil and add 1 ounce of liquid pectin. Continue to boil for one minute and then put into your storage containers. The jellied honey will not crystallize and has a consistency that is easy to spread. If the honey is easier to use it will more likely be rotated properly. Because dried beans take time to process, they are not used as frequently as they need to be to create proper rotation and avoid the hard bean problem.
