How you stock your fridge can help your produce last longer. Try these organizational hacks after your next grocery run.
Extend the shelf life of leafy greens by enveloping them in a wet paper towel and placing them in a container where they’ll retain moisture.
Hang onto odds and ends — potato skins, onion layers, and carrot stubs — in a bag or bin to be transformed into flavourful homemade broth.
Don't Scrap the Scraps
When placed in a water-filled container and set in the fridge, ripe avocados will stay fresh (instead of over ripening in your fruit bowl overnight).
Fresh Avocados Only
Place herbs, like cilantro and parsley, in an inch or two of water to keep them fresh longer — it's like a bouquet for your fridge.
