My rehydrated perewinkles after 6months of storage……. The whole process of dehydrating and rehydrating periwinkles is very systematic but one i have come to understand over the years by experience. So it starts from properly draining the moisture content in the periwinkles in a slow and watchful method using salt. This method is effective when wanting to store the perewinkles fresh for a long time in the freezer without oven drying them. This is my method i use to preserve for up to a year:-1, pour the perewinkles in a large deep sieve or basket.2, pour in a large amount of salt (1kg of perewinkle to 50grams salt ratio). The salt is what drains the moisture off and firms up the perewinkle and also serves as first stage preservative.3, mix in the salt properly by flipping the perewinkles in the basket every other hour.4, place this basket in an airy dust free place and not too sunny.5, let the water drain off completely for about 20-24hrs depending on the quantity of the perewinkles.6, now portion the perewinkles and store in the freezer.7, note that when it is to be used, only defrost the portion needed (that is why portioning is very advisable) and soak in cold water for 15-20mins for the salt to come off. And rinse properly in cold water until salt is out completely. Kindly note: do not use hot or warm water to soak the perewinkles as this would limp the perewinkles and make them look overcooked.
I usually prefer basmati rice for stir fried rice. But this rice is big bull product and it was not bad at all! Really came out well, both in taste and texture. Do you have a recommended brand that comes out well for fried rice too?
Adding some lemon juice and coconut oil to your basmati rice while cooking can elevate the taste and aroma ✔️👍🏼

Dear Nigerian cornflour producers, what is your aim of always using this massive container to package tiny amount of corn flour? Unless there is a logical reason behind it which includes cost effectiveness, if not this is waste and not environment friendly. A smaller container or a hard paper packaging would do just fine please. I usually do not have use for these container after making use of the contents (which last me 4 days tops) so i feel uneasy trashing this plastic in their quantities always. In the past it made a bit of sense as the content was way above half of the container but as the economy keeps getting unstable and the quantity decreased over time, there should be no need to keep using same big packaging.
