Here are some hacks we use regularly:
Fruits and Veg
- Broccoli & Celery - wrap it in tinfoil and this will keep for a couple weeks
- Lemons and Limes or really any citrus - keep them in a ziploc in the fridge and they'll keep for a couple weeks
- Lettuce or Spinach - keep them in a bag or container with a paper towel - you may need to replace the paper towel occasionally
- Mushrooms - keep them in their original packaging
- Onions and Garlic - keep them in a dark place and they'll keep for a couple weeks - watch for them sprouting, which can be accelerated if you keep them in the fridge or in a place with potatoes
- Avocados and Tomatoes - ripen them on the counter and then stash in the fridge til you need them
- Bananas - leave them on the counter
- Apples - will keep a long time in the fridge
- Carrots - will keep in a ziploc for a while in the fridge
- Peppers - keep them in a ziploc in the fridge
