I cibi deperibili sono quelli che possono deteriorarsi facilmente, come carne fresca, pesce, frutta, verdura, latte e burro. Possono essere conservati nel congelatore o nel frigorifero, ma la conservazione prolungata può alterarne il gusto e il valore nutritivo.
I cibi non deperibili, come riso, fagioli, farine e zucchero, non si deteriorano facilmente e possono essere conservati a lungo se tenuti in contenitori asciutti e ben coperti, lontano da insetti come i tonchi.
