Traditional Food Preservation Methods Without Refrigeration

Before refrigerators, people used clever ways to keep food fresh!

They used underground cellars in cold places, like a natural fridge.

In hot areas, they used clay pots called Zeer pots, which cooled food through evaporation.

People also dried food in the sun with salt.

Other methods include storing food in clay pots, ash, or cool mountain streams.

These methods prevent food from spoiling for longer, keeping it safe to eat!
