Food Storage


Food is expensive enough and you don’t want to throw away money because of rotten produce or wasted ingredients (which is completely preventable with some simple tricks). Here you’ll find tips for storing and organizing your fridge and pantry and hacks for making fresh food last longer (saving both time and money). Start with a tour of my fridge. Then, learn how to store and eat tricky fresh foods (that are notorious for rotting prematurely), like berries, lettuce and other leafy greens, fresh herbs, asparagus, radishes, and green onions. And learn the trick to storing carrots and celery and freezing berries.
