We are all familiar with such concepts as a grocery store, groceries and groceries in general, but who really knows what they mean? Often, this group means the entire range of retail outlets, regardless of the product range of a particular store. Although the list of groceries includes a long and varied list of foodstuffs, it is still not endless, and the assortment of groceries can be classified.

What is a grocery?

The buyer, having come to any grocery store, simply cannot help but buy something from the category of groceries. Goods falling under this category make up the lion's share of the entire range of counters. Of course, among other departments, the store will have a confectionery, and a dairy, and a gastronomy, and a showcase with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, but still, groceries are the foundation of any retail or wholesale store.

In dictionaries and manuals on the organization of outlets, it appears that groceries are the assortment of food products that do not require the creation of special conditions for their sale and storage. Mostly it is a "dry" product with a long shelf life.

The very word "groceries" came to us from overseas Turkey (bakkal - the original, in some sources it is interpreted literally as "goods on the face - look and take"). Grocers were those sellers in whose windows you could buy whatever your heart desires. It can be concluded that the once food group called “grocery” presented on store shelves was even more diverse than it is now, but this is most likely not an omission and a shortcoming of the modern market, but an exaggeration of past years.

List of goods

At the moment, a much wider range of products is available to customers than several centuries ago, and it would be ridiculous to compare the variety of even the largest shop of the nineteenth century with a modern supermarket. In addition, the current sanitary and hygienic standards and requirements for sellers have become incomparably stricter, so the classification of the assortment in retail outlets has become more regulated and unambiguous.

The grocery group of goods is rich in such positions:

• coffee, tea, cocoa, including packaged and instant concentrates;
• all kinds of cereals, pasta and their derivatives (mixtures, cereals, muesli, cereals,;
• flour from different types of grain, pancake mixtures;
• spices and seasonings, also salt and sugar;
• nutritional supplements such as gelatin, citric acid, dried yeast, etc.;
• hermetically sealed dressings (sauces, ketchups, mustard, horseradish, tomato paste);
• vegetable oils;
• soups, potatoes, cereals and vermicelli fast food.

Stitch and "loose"

As you can see, grocery is a rather diverse concept. However, it can be classified according to another principle. Most of the groceries are piece units, already packaged in small packages of food portions. Manufacturers offer their customers the most optimal and convenient pack weight, in addition to speeding up the sales process, because the seller does not need to use scales every time and make complex calculations, each packaging has its own price and mass justification.

Expensive spices and seasonings are sold in small portions of 5-15 grams, but you can always buy large packages if necessary. Cereals, sugar and flour are another matter - often in each package there is a standard portion of one kilogram, but the constant increase in prices makes manufacturers go for a trick and a large number of packaged cereals and other bulk goods presented on the windows of supermarkets and shops can weigh 750 or 900 grams .

Despite the large spread of self-service stores, in which it is much more convenient for customers to buy packaged goods. Many stores still sell bulk goods, and in the markets you can even buy vegetable oil on tap, coffee, teas and spices are also weighed and sold by the seller in the quantity that the buyer needs. This method of selling groceries has a great advantage, because the customer can always reliably assess the quality of the purchase by its appearance, texture and smell.

Grocery store or just the department?

Despite the wide range of groceries in the store, it is simply impossible to find a retail outlet that would not sell products that do not fall under the category of groceries. Discerning shoppers want to go to one store and buy whatever they need without having to go from one vendor to another.

Modern conditions of trade are formed in such a way that the owners of food pavilions are forced to give consumers all the variety of requested products, so groceries in the store are sold only in one of the departments, along with other groups of goods.

Note to the grocery seller

The big advantage of selling groceries is that products from this group have a long shelf life, do not require the creation special conditions for their storage, and also do not force sellers to equip technologically sophisticated storage facilities.

Storage of groceries should take place in a cool room (not higher than 18 degrees Celsius), with low humidity. If the warehouse is damp, then the products will become unusable, because cereals, spices and coffee tea absorb moisture from the atmosphere, in addition, they can be saturated with foreign aromas, which will also greatly damage their quality. An important requirement for groceries intended for storage is that the racks on which the goods will be laid out should not touch the walls.

Often in everyday life one has to hear such a word as groceries, but not everyone is familiar with what is meant by it. This term refers to gastronomy. There are several theories regarding its origin. According to one of them, this name came from the Turkish language - from the word "bakkal" (bakkal), the translation of which means a vegetable merchant. According to another, this term is of Arabic origin and is translated as greens, vegetables.

What is a grocery

Grocery is a whole group of food products that have undergone special culinary processing, due to which they are subject to long-term storage under certain conditions. Products in this category are sold both in packaged form and by weight. In addition to food products, including a variety of canned and semi-finished products, this groceries even include some basic household goods, such as matches, washing powder, and soap.

Compared to other food products, grocery products boast a long shelf life and unpretentious storage. In terms of organizing food retailing, groceries are opposed to deli products. The latter, as a rule, are already ready for use, are expensive and require special storage conditions. A significant part of the products in this category may be required in restaurants, snack bars, barbecue, etc. Cafes, bistros and fast food establishments are limited to a minimum set of groceries.

Special conditions for the storage of such products are not required, but there are several features of preserving the presentation and freshness of dry products that are important to take into account:

• Grocery products do not really like high air temperatures, especially cereals, pasta, flour. The ideal temperature is considered to be no more than 8 degrees Celsius. In practice, it is difficult to maintain this parameter in the pantry of a diner or restaurant, so a simpler rule must be observed - the temperature should not exceed +18 degrees. To maintain it, a regular air conditioner is quite suitable.
• For proper storage low air humidity is required, the indicator of which should not be higher than 60-70%. Dry foods that are not hermetically sealed can absorb a lot of moisture, which will significantly shorten the shelf life of some foods. There are exceptions to this rule, for example, salt and sugar will lose their presentation in the absence of the proper level of humidity, but at the same time they will retain their taste and physical qualities. Flour, coffee, tea, in addition to being afraid of moisture, are also sensitive to pungent odors - if they are opened or left in leaky sealed packages, then these products are more likely to have an unpleasant odor and change their taste.
• The grocery group of goods requires a good ventilation system, or at least frequent airing of the room. Access fresh air will help fight odors, dampness, insect pests of grain stocks.
• Products located on the racks should not come into contact with the ceiling or walls, and the minimum distance from the floor to the first shelf should be about 20 cm, but not less. At the same time, attention should be paid to the observance sanitary norms, i.e. the room should be regularly cleaned, animals and pests should be fought.

Who is a grocer

If you go into history, then in pre-revolutionary Russia, groceries denoted a group of dry edible goods: first dried fruits, smoked meats, and then it was replenished with flour, coffee, sugar, tea, cereals, spices. Later, the term grocery store appeared, and the seller who was engaged in the sale of groceries, kept a grocery store, was called a grocer. These were respected people who laid the foundation for modern retailing.

In the USSR, Glavbakaleya has been engaged in the sale of groceries since the 1950s. The legislation of the Soviet Union established special requirements for inventory packaging, the workplace of a grocery employee and other aspects of trade. Additionally, it was prescribed to conduct a systematic fight against various kinds of pests. Thanks to the availability of refrigeration equipment, almost every modern grocery department or store can sell both groceries and deli products, including fresh vegetables, fruits.

Groceries

Due to the wide variety of products that are included in the grocery category, it is very difficult to clearly classify them. In most cases, they are divided into the following three groups of what relates to groceries:

• bulk products;
• obtained by the conservation method;
• liquid products.

Bulk products

This group of grocery products is the widest. It includes a large number of products that are used by many consumers daily. For example, cereals, soups are made from buckwheat and rice, flour is used to make bakery products, spices are used to give the dish a certain taste, etc. The main bulk food products include:

• All types of flour (rye, wheat, corn, etc.) and special mixtures made from it, which are used for baking: pancakes, muffins, pancakes, etc.
• Different varieties of tea, instant and natural coffee, cocoa. Often, for the convenience of classification, this range of products is separated into a separate subgroup - this is due to the large variety of varieties.
• Cereals. A sub-group consisting of a large number of products that are included in the daily diet of most consumers. This type of groceries consists of such cereals as wheat (polished, flakes), barley, semolina, buckwheat (prodel, flakes, unground), oatmeal (including rolled oats), corn.
• Bean cultures. Groceries in this category include peas, soybeans, lentils, beans, and chickpeas.
• Food additives consisting of gelatin, yeast, baking powder and other dry concentrates.
• Spices. An extensive subgroup that includes products that are used to give dishes a certain taste and smell. Her list includes saffron, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, ground pepper, coriander and other products that can spice up food with a special piquancy.
• Spices. This subgroup consists of sugar, salt, citric acid, vanillin.
• Instant drinks in powder form (milk, cream, concentrate for making jelly), packaged fast food, the so-called "dry breakfasts", which include cereals, muesli.
• Food in snack packs, such as dried small fish, chips, crackers, popcorn, crackers, etc.
• Pasta of different varieties: horns, noodles, vermicelli, spaghetti, etc.
• In a separate subgroup, nuts, seeds, dried vegetables, dried fruits can be distinguished.

Conservation

Grocery, which was prepared for long-term storage by conservation, has gained considerable distribution. The essence of this method lies in the technical processing of food in order to suppress the vital activity of microorganisms that spoil the product. The following items fall under this category:

• All types of canned food: meat (stewed beef, pork, turkey meat pate), vegetables (olives, olives, caviar, green peas, pickled tomatoes, cucumbers), fish (mackerel, sprats, sprat, tuna, saury), fruit and berry ( orange, raspberry, strawberry jam, pineapple pieces, peach halves) and others.
• Ready canned meals such as navy pasta, buckwheat porridge, ham, stir-fries, vegetable appetizers and more.
• Ready seasonings, for example, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, adjika. This also includes all kinds of sauces.

Grocery- this is the name of a group of food products, which currently include a wide range of different types of food products. The word groceries is borrowed from the Turkish language, where a vegetable merchant is called nothing other than bakkal. Initially, groceries were understood as dry food products, such as nuts, dried fruits, and smoked meats.

Over time, other goods began to be classified as groceries, such as flour, tea and coffee, as well as spices, spices, sugar, salt and other food products. Grocery is understood not only as food, but also as a store where they are sold to the consumer. A vendor who deals in groceries is called a grocer. In a broad sense, groceries are a group of food products that have undergone preliminary culinary processing and can be eaten or used as an ingredient in the preparation of other culinary products.

Grocery products differ from other food products by a fairly long shelf life. There are several food groups that can be distinguished among groceries. The widest range of products can boast of such a group of grocery products as legumes and grains. This group includes such food products as: all kinds of cereals, as well as flour and pasta.

The composition of the second large group of goods that belong to groceries includes different kinds culinary vegetable oils (olive, sunflower, rapeseed, corn, butter, etc.), as well as fats (fat, duck, goose, beef and others) and their substitutes (margarine, spread). Sauces also belong to groceries and constitute another large group of food products with a fairly impressive shelf life and shelf life.

Spices and spices by their characteristics fall under the concept of groceries. In addition, all dry ingredients necessary for the preparation of culinary products and baking, such as baker's yeast and baking powder, various types of ready-made confectionery and culinary mixtures, are classified as groceries. Fast food products (soups, cereals, muesli, cereals) are also included in groceries.

Snacks, dry concentrated drinks, various dried fruits, nuts, seeds, dried and dried fish, and meat are groceries. In a word, grocery in modern trade is understood as a wide range of food products that are sold through a trading network.
