What to Do When Raisins Get Bugs? Here's the Right Way to Handle It

Raisins are a popular dried fruit, and many people like to buy some raisins to eat at home. But raisins are not easy to store and easily get bugs. So what should you do when raisins get bugs?

1. What to do when raisins get bugs?

1. If it is not very serious, the raisins are still edible; just drive away the small bugs on the surface.

2. You can wash the raisins clean and use them for steaming, making snacks, cakes, steamed rice; the steamed raisins are also very tasty.

3. You can find the merchant who sold the raisins for a return or exchange, because bugs growing due to poor raisin quality means you can ask the merchant for a return or exchange.

4. Wash the raisins; you can rinse the bugs and dirt off the surface with clean water, then dry them in the sun.

5. You can expose them to the sun to drive away the bugs, and letting the raisins dry out will prevent bugs from growing.

6. If the raisins already have a lot of bugs, do not eat them; too many bugs have already made the raisins spoil, and eating them may cause diarrhea.

2. How to store raisins?

Generally speaking, if you want raisins to keep their original taste, the best storage temperature is 7-12°C or lower; only under such temperature conditions can raisins be stored for a longer time. If the raisins have been opened, it is best to keep them in the refrigerator and eat them as soon as possible.
