If you can invest in a small vacuum sealer, it will really help with sealing dry foods and spices for much longer. This is to bring the risk of oxidation to the very minimum.
Also, some foods do not last well when you keep refreezing and defrosting or opening and closing the container. So sealing them in smaller single-use portions will be better.
Thank you for this added tip.

This is awesome
I have learnt alot of lessons here as well. Iâm based in Nigeria for now but I preserve moi moi leave up to 1month in my freezer i just wrap it in a nylon and lay it flat in my freezer not placing anything on it. It stays fresh till any day i desire to use it. I preserve it that way because moi moi leaves are something scarce in lekki and when you see it jakande market most times theyâre not very fresh so i buy from Oyingbo market and preserve it
very educative/informative
Yesss.
I wash clean and label date. freeze
You are the best. I am secret viewer but today I must comment that you are the big deal. I am from Nibo by the way. You took me to Eke Nibo in one of your christmass videos
Thank you Ada Nibo. đđđ
You are just amazing,canât even keep my eyes off your videos even when it makes me akpiri ogologo đđđ since 3yrs+ l havenât had a proper Nigerian food,l live in Dominican Republic,no African store here,sometimes l buy from the US but the last one l bought,they trashed it before it could get here,saying that my package smells so much đđđđđit had Stockfish/dry fish,when l watch your videos,l just swallow my saliva in peace & move on đđđ
Awww! I'm so sorry to read that. This is the toughest part of living outside Nigeria especially where one can't buy these foods even if it's expensive.
HAiy ya Kelechi It is well one day you will get the ingredientes you need, I hardly get ingredientes,vwatching all these delicious đ meal does look good.
This video is so nostalgic for me. I miss my fresh oha soup and fresh Uziza leaves đ đđ„Č
Awww. :)
Thanks nne đ€
Nne that udara tips na safer ooo dalu biko â€
@Asa, my sentiments. It is a pity we cannot get the fresh veggies. But I use some of the alternatives Flo advises on đ„°đđ.
Yes, the alternatives saving lives while we wait to travel home. I'm sure this video made Asa ask herself what she is doing in obodo oyibo. đ
You're amazing ma. I have seen some one that packages more than me. Thank you for the udara storage idea. I live in Nigeria ooođbut my friends wow! with the way I store food stuffs.
đđđ "packages more than me"
Definitely these tips can serve someone in Nigeria that has 24/7 electricity. Imagine whipping out your udara in the month of July? Show me your magic wand Lady! Enjoy. :) Thank you.
Nicely done Flo. Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks Chibuike. :)

This is my first time seeing this method of preserving beans inside the freezer wow
Glad you learnt something new from the video. :)
I always keep my Beans in the Freezer even when I was in Nigeria to prevent weevils getting into them.
You can also keep in a container and put ungrounded 6 Hot peppers đ¶ in it.
The insects will not go near.
I always enjoy your videos aunty flo
I'm glad. :)
Nice job flo.
Thanks Benny. :)
Weldone, Aunty Flo
Daalu Ăulis. :)
Another great video
Thank you. :)
Packing those items is where the work is especially when there is no more space to store then. And you know the stock fish cannot just be kept anyhow because of fish ants. Fresh Ora soup loading, am so coming over. đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
Yes, my saving grace is that it's still winter so for now they can stay in my balcony. By summer, there will be more space in the freezer. đ The struggle is real o.
Ngwanu, come over. :)
nice video thanks for sharing itđ
đ
Nne ehh! The oha, Uzuza, and Shonwu entered my eyes well well. Chai! God, when ooooo!

Thanks for all you do ma'am,pls how do you preserve afang leaves
If it's the sliced one, apply the same method as I did with the leafy vegetables. If it's the ground one, watch this video: czcams.com/video/2UOUEqN_iWY/video.html
Love your videos and ideas pls flo what is Tom brown

I put my udara and garden egg in the freezer....i never thought of putting beans in the freezer
Thank you for the tips đ
I use soap to wash the uma leaf đ
What is udara
AJ NATURALS check out this video: czcams.com/video/x3NWp6-Qz84/video.html
Have you have you have yoooouuuuđ
Thats exactly what I do at prep and storing foodsđ
â€â€â€
Lol your amazing
Nwanyi a, how many boxes did you drag with you? đ . What I miss most is that fresh mmi li akwu. What we have in the UK here is not pure at all. Well, we can't have it all no? Well-done for always showing us how to manage our food out here.
4 of us with 8 boxes. đ
I was laughing when you were complaining about hubby picking the leaves in a way you don't like đ€Łđđ I understand we can be very grounded in our ways đ. Great tips, I use vinegar for the moi moi leaves and a little bit of washing up liquid, now I think of all those moi moi I've eaten outside scary world đłđ€đĄ
Lol. If I think too hard I don't buy food on the outside.....lol....the things we ate....God protected us đđŸ
đđđthat sharp sharp method of picking veggies darkens it.
This is why I'm so put off eating out because I know they can never have the time to clean these like this. Yes to washing up liquid. đ
â€
Thank u so muchđđœđđœpls how can one preserve fresh tomatoes?
It depends, if you need them whole then the only way to preserve fresh tomatoes so they remain fresh and whole is in the FRIDGE. It does not last long though. If you put whole tomatoes in the freezer, they won't come out the same. But if you don't need them whole, you blend them, boil down, even fry and put in the freezer.
Flo baby đđđâ€ïžđ
Hello sweets. :)
Thank you for the shopping & storing video. Very valuable information. Please, what is the best way to bring Kola Nut to the USA? Multiple times, it ended up molded. I think it was because moisture was in the zip lock bag. Any special way to transport and store them. Thanks in advance. đđșđČ
Yes, moisture will contribute to going moldy but I wonder why that is so though. The USA takes no more than 24 hours travel time including transit time. Were they fresh at the time of purchase and packing? I have brought kolanut here several times (less travel time but they shouldn't go moldy within 24 hours) and they were fine.
Next time, try wrapping them with leaves such as uma leaves or cocoyam leaves, any natural bold leaf so they can still "breathe" while on transit. Then later wrap with newspapers and cellotape the package so they don't break into pieces.
@Flo Chinyere Thank You Sooooooo Much!!!! They were fresh from Edo State. I think, he received them, they were closed and started to sweat, before he left the airport. I'll pass your guidance along next time to receive them better. I was able to roast a few that survived in Convection Oven, then I ground them to use in tea... of course, he's African and like to bite themđ€.
Blessings to you and your family for all the wonderful instructions on Cooking Native Meals. We both watched your shopping videos.đ€
What is Tom brown and I really enjoyed your video
Here: czcams.com/video/EXWGpim6SNk/video.html
Thanks for the good tips. Please how can I best store ogbono?
In the freezer, both the ground and unground ones.
@@FloChinyere you are very much appreciatedđ
Okay Aunty Flo this is my cue to go clean my freezer and start labelling items. Pretty sure I have food items there from pre-pandemic era đđđđ€Ł. Please what is your experience with transporting dried vegetables like bitter leaf? Would you advice to store in the freezer or shelf ?
Welldone mađ€
Pre-pandemic era??? đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Someone please call the HAZMAT group on Ms Ify oooo!
Back in the day when I still used dry bitter leaves, I kept them in a cupboard like that place I kept Abacha. But before using it, I would first of all soften it, watch: czcams.com/video/ikSdTPbXncU/video.html Because I do the softening in large batches, I store those ones in the freezer afterwards.
Just started watching and I already love the video because I have been waiting for it. However, please what is Tom Brown ?

Sister Flo please is Ogiri the same as locust beans or Iru
Nice video but what is Tom brown?
