Some fruits, like apples and pears, should be stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and maintain a consistent temperature to keep them fresh longer.
Fruits like berries, grapes, and cherries stay fresh when refrigerated. Store them in perforated plastic bags or containers to allow airflow and prevent mold growth.
To keep fruits like apples, pears, and bananas from browning, sprinkle them with lemon or lime juice. The citric acid acts as a natural preservative.
Store ethylene-sensitive fruits and vegetables, like berries and leafy greens, separately to prevent premature ripening.
Freezing fruits like berries, mangoes, and peaches can preserve them for months. Wash, dry, and slice the fruits before placing them in airtight containers or freezer bags.
Wrap fruits like lettuce and herbs in paper towels before placing them in plastic bags or containers. This absorbs excess moisture and keeps the fruits crisp and fresh.
Mix one part vinegar with three parts water, rinse the berries, and let them dry completely before storing in the fridge.
