Proper storage temperatures can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Keep berries and leafy greens in the fridge, and store items like potatoes at room temperature.
Using breathable containers or perforated plastic bags helps extend fruits & vegetable shelf life by allowing air circulation. It reduces moisture buildup and prevents mold growth.
Keep fruits like apples and bananas away from other edibles. They release ethylene gas, which makes everything ripen faster. Their separation helps extend freshness and shelf life.
Wash fruits and vegetables right before eating to keep them fresh longer. Moisture from washing before storing can cause mold and spoilage.
Using a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) helps kill mold spores on fruits and vegetables, keeping them fresh longer by preventing spoilage.
Regularly check stored produce and remove any items that show signs of spoilage to prevent them from affecting others.
