Salt, sugar, oil, and vinegar are the four basic preservatives all kitchens should have for storing food. Salt reduces water content, sugar helps to prevent bacterial growth, oil smothers bacteria, and vinegar creates a hostile environment for them. These ingredients can help extend the shelf life of food and prevent spoilage.
