Brilio.net - Biscuits , a favorite snack that is enticing with a sweet taste and crunchy texture, are perfect as a loyal friend during leisure time. However, maintaining the crunchiness of biscuits can be a challenge. If not stored properly, biscuits will quickly become soft because they absorb moisture from the air. This process can damage the texture and taste of the biscuits themselves, thus reducing their enjoyment.
Well, it is important to know how to store biscuits properly so that they stay crispy and delicious for a longer period of time.
Luckily, there are a few simple tricks that can help keep your cookies crispy. One way is to store them in an airtight container to prevent direct contact with moisture. Adding silica gel to the storage container can also help absorb any moisture that may be present. Additionally, storing your cookies in a cool, dry place, away from sources of moisture, can help maintain their crispiness. By following these tips, you can ensure that your favorite cookies stay delicious and crunchy every time you want to enjoy them.
Not only that, you can also add one food ingredient to the jar containing biscuits. Just like what Instagram user @ummubalqishaura did. Instead of putting in silica gel, this netizen only relies on one food ingredient as a natural preservative for biscuits.
Curious about how?

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Sunday (1/9), one of the food ingredients in question is granulated sugar. At the beginning of the video, this netizen shows the condition of his biscuits which have become soft after being left for a while in the jar.

He also deliberately sprinkles granulated sugar into the jar when storing biscuits. He doesn't need much, he only relies on 1/2 tbsp of granulated sugar for one jar of biscuits.
According to him, this method is quite effective. This is because sugar is a hygroscopic material that can attract water vapor from the air, which affects the moisture content of the material. That way, the air in the jar is trapped and does not make the biscuits soft.
