Storing food and preserving their freshness can be prolonged if you put a little care and thought into it
Garlic and onions decay easily in damp environments. Store your garlic and onions outside the refrigerator in well-ventilated wooden containers or an open three-tier hanging basket.
Long-term exposure to cold temperatures can cause pitting, wilting, and decay in cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants. To increase their shelf life, store them at room temperature on the countertop!
Produce such as apples, pears, plums, avocados, kiwis, mangoes, and pineapples are best kept out of the refrigerator, either on the counter or in a pantry.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes should not be refrigerated. Store them in a cool, dark place with relatively high humidity. Allow air circulation.
Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, tangerines, and limes last longer than other fruits. Store them in perforated plastic bags in a cool dark place to extend their shelf life.
Berries and grapes should be kept in a clean dry place like a basket and cleaned until you are ready to eat them.
Store every fruit and vegetable in its own container. It's a good idea to have different bags for each type of produce and to store them in bags that are slightly aerated and sealed tightly.
