Lesson Content

Methods Of Farm Produce Preservation: Bagging And Bottling

Farm produce, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables, needs to be preserved to prevent spoilage and ensure they last longer. There are various methods of preservation, such as bagging and bottling.

  1. Bagging:
    Bagging is a method of preservation in which farm produce like grains (rice, beans, maize) is placed in sacks or bags. These bags protect the produce from moisture and pests. Bagging is an easy and effective way to store dry farm produce, ensuring it stays fresh for months or even years.
  2. Bottling:
    Bottling is another method used to preserve farm produce, especially fruits and vegetables. In bottling, farm produce is placed in glass or plastic bottles, often after being treated or cooked. The sealed bottle prevents air from entering, which helps keep the produce fresh for a long time. Bottled items can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated.

Lesson Evaluation:

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

  1. What is the importance of bagging as a method of preserving farm produce?
  2. Explain the process of bottling in farm produce preservation.
  3. Why do we need to preserve farm produce?
  4. Mention two examples of farm produce that can be preserved through bagging.
  5. Describe how bottling preserves food and prevents spoilage
