How to Store Groceries Properly to Keep Them Fresh
15th Feb 2014
Keeping your groceries fresh for longer is easier than you think! Here are some simple tips to store your food properly and reduce waste.
? Fruits & Vegetables
-
Store leafy greens in airtight containers with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
-
Keep tomatoes, bananas, and avocados at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate.
-
Don’t store potatoes and onions together—onions release gases that make potatoes spoil faster!
? Dairy & Eggs
-
Keep milk and yogurt on the middle shelves of your fridge, not in the door, where temperatures fluctuate.
-
Store eggs in their original carton, not in the built-in fridge tray—it keeps them fresher for longer!
? Bread & Dry Goods
-
Store bread at room temperature in a bread box. If you won’t eat it within a few days, freeze it.
-
Keep flour, sugar, and grains in airtight containers to prevent pests and moisture.
? Meat & Seafood
-
Store raw meat and fish in the coldest part of your fridge and use them within a few days.
-
If you won’t use them in time, freeze them in airtight bags with labels for easy tracking.
Proper storage not only keeps your food fresher but also saves you money and reduces food waste. Happy organizing! ?✨
