<bot>: Properly storing food for long term requires taking the necessary steps to ensure that the food does not spoil or become unsafe to eat. This includes using an appropriate container to store the food, checking for expiration dates, and if necessary, freezing or refrigerating the food. Additionally, you should also adjust the temperature and humidity of the storage environment if necessary. Furthermore, it is important to keep the containers or bags that contain the food closed tightly or sealed properly and to avoid contaminating the food with other food items.
