Do you have the problem of always throwing away your fruits and vegetables because they turn bad before you can even use them? After doing a thorough research, I realized the problem lies with how I was storing it. Storing your fruits and vegetables properly can help to maximize their shelf life while minimizing waste. So what is the best way to store fruit? Let’s look into the things that we should take note of and our recommedation on some ideas to store them.
1. Air Circulation. Look for storage that allows the gases from the fruits to escape into the air, rather than getting trapped and causing the fruit to age more rapidly.
2. Visibility. Most of the time we forgot about the fruits that are tucked in the refrigerator so storing them open with a good view of what fruits you have inside, you’re much more likely to eat it while it’s still fresh!
3. Room Temperature. Your fruits can sit out on the countertop in a basket without requiring refrigeration. The only fruits that need to be refrigerated are berries and fruits that have been cut.
