With prices climbing out of
control these days, you want
to get the most from your
grocery purchases. Produce
especially doesn’t last as long
as it should.
Try these tips & you may be surprised….
– Store celery in aluminum foil. I don’t know why, but it lasts up to a month when stored this way.
– For iceberg lettuce, simply remove the core & wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Believe it or not, it will last 3x as long if stored this way.
– Store all other produce in “Ziploc Fresh Produce Bags” (the green box). It is this cooks experience, that your produce will last much longer using this brand versus others.
– Once peppers, zucchini, cucumbers & squash are cut, store in foil. This helps prevent them from getting “slimy.”
– Onions & potatoes should be stored @ room temperature in a dark, cool place for best longevity. However, shallots, if not going to be used right away, should be refrigerated.
