If I leave the bread out on the counter (no package of any kind) , it will start getting hard .If I leave out chips , they will start to soften (they lose the crunchiness) and that happens with other foods as well.Like cakes , pastries, bagels vs pretzels, and any other crunchy snack.
Wouldn’t it make sense that the same conditions would bring them to the same (or at least, similar) states?
In: Chemistry
The water in soft foods will evaporate because the air is more dry, so as the water particles move to the air the food starts to dry up and get crunchy. The opposite happens with really dry foods: the food is more dry than the air and gradually sucks water particles out of the air.
