Storing fresh fruits and vegetables can be hard as they have a short shelf life. Here are some ways you can store fresh produce to make them last longer:
Do not cut lemons into halves as they dry quickly when kept in the fridge. Instead, use a fork to poke a hole into it to squeeze the juice to prevent it from drying.
Store carrots in a container filled with water and cover it with plastic wrap. This helps retain the freshness and prevent them from drying.
Store potatoes with apples to keep the potatoes fresh for a long time. The ethylene gas released by the apples can help preserve them for longer.
Wash berries with vinegar-infused water, then rinse with water and dry them before keeping them in the fridge to prevent them from spoiling.
To ensure tomatoes retain their flavour and freshness, do not store them in the cold environment of the fridge. Store them at room temperature with the stem facing down.
Store lettuce in a container and cover it with a paper towel. Seal it with a plastic wrap to prevent moisture from getting inside and keep it fresh.
