Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is a must when you want a healthy body and sound mind. But sometimes, we can’t avoid not encountering rotten fruits and veggies on our kitchen. Why is that so? Mainly because we store them incorrectly, so there’s a big chance of getting them spoil.
So, if you want to spend less money in buying your fruits and veggies, here are ways to make them lasts longer than you expected.
1. Put your ripened bananas in the fridge.
2. Make Apples last longer in the crisper drawer
3. Keep your oranges in refrigerator
4. Keep Potatoes In A Dark Environment
5. Keep lemons in a plastic bag in the fridge
6. Store garlic in a dark, cool place
7. Tomatoes are meant to be out on the counter
8. Separate your fruits and vegetables
9. Keep your mushrooms pristine in the fridge
10. Slice peppers and place in freezer
11. Practice food-timing
It’s just plain fact that not all fruits and vegetables have the same lifespan. Thus, every week when you buy your groceries, plan ahead and think about which fruits and veggies you’ll need to worry about most and which you can afford to leave on the counter or in the fridge. Broccoli, bananas, strawberries, and mushrooms are among top priority, while oranges, tomatoes and spinach can afford to wait.
12. Keep berries sealed in a plastic container
13. Wrap veggies like celery, broccoli and lettuce in foil before storing it in the fridge
