Store it in a cloth or paper bag in a dry place, never in the refrigerator (because it hardens). To keep it longer, cut it into slices and freeze it.
5. Don’t wash fruits and vegetables until you’re ready to use them
Excess humidity accelerates the appearance of mold. Store them dry and wash them just before consuming them.
6. Lemon to prevent cut fruits from oxidizing
If you cut apples, avocados or bananas and want to store them for a while, sprinkle them with a few drops of lemon juice so that they do not darken.
7. Onions and potatoes, separated and in a dark place
Store them in mesh bags or cardboard boxes with good ventilation. Never put them together, as they rot faster.
8. Freeze blanched vegetables
Before freezing vegetables such as broccoli, peas, or spinach, boil them for 2-3 minutes and then cool them in ice water. This maintains its color, texture, and nutrients.
9. Organize your freezer with FIFO system
Use the First In, First Out method to avoid forgetting food at the bottom of the freezer.
With small changes in your storage habits, you will keep your food fresh, safe and tasty for much longer. This way you not only reduce waste, but also gain in organization and savings.
