As everybody knows, fruits and vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet.
Plus, it’s possible for you to extend their freshness even longer with the right storage methods.
Apples and pears
Apples are practically the fruit that built our nation.
After all, what could be more all-American than apple pie?
And all of the above works for pears, too.
It makes sense when you consider the similar textures of both fruits.
Plus,citrus fruits, if unripe, should be allowed to ripen at room temperature.
They then should be stored cold and only returned to room temperature right before eating.
(Not a good thing, since thegreen part might make you sick.)
Preventionsuggests storing whole garlic bulbs in a dark kitchen cabinet or a paper bag in the refrigerator.
Properly stored garlic can last several months, as can onions stored in a dark cabinet.
Other root vegetables
Let us root, root, root for the root vegetables!
Are you singing along?
