I use waffle weave dish cloths that I insert into the plastic bags to absorb moisture. It works even better than the paper towels.
Only thing is Kim, after washing veggies I would not store them back in the same bags they come in. Reason is, any bacteria that was on the veggies before washing them is likely in the bag. Therefore, you are recontaminating them.
ya, or can we use the bags after washing?
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Zander Kristopher Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I really needed this. I'm so bad at keeping produce fresh and feel like I am always wasting food and money. Thank you!
I don’t feel like I completely waste food since I put all my garbage in a compost bin.
Your green onion tips will be especially helpful. They go bad so quickly if just stored in a bag in the fridge crisper. Thanks!!
If you want less waste, so avoiding excess paper towel use, I recommend flour sack towels. I am part of a CSA and pick up my veggies every 2 weeks. I use a bunch of flour sack towels to wrap up the items needed. Like greens. It works just as well and you just toss in the wash when done.
What are they?
@@pamiam9017 they're lightweight 100% cotton towels. I use them for everything. You can get a big pack of them on Amazon.
What is a CSA?
Sara Ferguson community shared agriculture. Usually a box of assorted produce from a local farm delivered on a weekly or semi-weekly basis during the growing/harvesting season.
@@Alexisaboard thanks, I missed this notification
to keep your carrrots last longer, put it in a container, filled up with water then cover it and put in your fridge. You can change your water everyday or every other day. The same thing with tofu ❤️
Why change the water everyday?
I was raiding my fridge for my produce while watching this, thank you so much for the tips!
OMG I never knew to put paper towels in the bags and containers!! Thank You so much for making this video! I truly appreciate your time and effort that went into making this video.
Thank you
Have you tried the Rubbermaid Fresh Vent containers? They keep strawberries fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks, they are amazing!
I love the idea of prepping fruits and veg but I just never do. I love the way it looks in the fridge though. Thanks for the tips! One day I’ll try!
What an awesome video..so basically paper towels and containers with some water are the way to go..I had no idea at all. Thank you for the tipps!!! I definitely need a salad spinner. It looks so helpful. I also have an apron but never wear it. Maybe I should try :D
THANK YOU! I am so tired of wasting produce.
You can save the bottom of the romaine lettuce about to in and put the bottoms in a few inches of water and it will Sprout new lettuce through the middle you can keep it in a windowsill.
Thanks for the tip about mushrooms! I’m the only one in my family who likes them and I’ve kind of given up on having them around because with only me eating them, they tend to go back quickly. Now I can enjoy them again!! Thanks!!
I feel like I'm the only person in the world who didn't know about the strawberries and bugs (and the salt water trick)! And I found out on TikTok of all things! 😂 I'm definitely doing the vinegar trick from now on, because I've only been using water.😣 Thanks Kimmy! ❤️
It works on any veges, I used to soak all our veges from the garden in cold water and salt, it was fascinating to watch the green caterpillars come out of the cauliflower
Needed this video so much , storing extra food at the moment so needing to get out so often has been a bit hit and miss. This is going to help loads. Stay safe stay well x
Take care everyone 😉
Great info. Love the info about the temperatures to use. Never used to pay attention to the temperature in my refrigerator until everything started to freeze solid. You've given some very valuable info on storing fruits and vegs.
Yes, I have spinach 3 weeks old, if you see any moisture in the container after a couple days wipe it out. Reuse the paper towels to clean messes in the kitchen.
I use a salad spinner as well. I keep mine with water in it to cover lettuce and put in the fridge. Take out drain and spin. Works for me.
Love this video thank you for the tips I have used glass like little lunch boxes different sizes and they seem too keep things fresher for a lot long I have found keep safe all x
This was really informative! Thank you, I never knew about storing mushrooms in a paper bag either! Freezing is what I do when produce is on sale. This way when it's out of season and expensive, I have it stored at peak season and it is so fresh! Great tips, thank you.🍎🍉🍆
Great tips thank you, it was so nice to see you using the good old New Zealand Sistema container for your chopped green onions (spring onions in NZ). I never knew I could freeze them but I will remember that now.
Loved this so very helpful I made bread and kneaded while I watch you have a great week
You can put your green onions in a jar of water and as you cut them for use they will continue to grow. I’ve used a small bunch of onions for weeks because they just keep growing!
It’s amazing how they keep growing. I was blown away when I learned that. However, just a little fyi I discovered, they lose much of the flavor after the first cutting or 2. Basically, because they’re living in just water, no nutrients from the soil, it’s more like lettuce after awhile. 😂
In Australia they supply brown paper bags with the mushrooms and you help yourself to store the mushrooms 👍🏻
What is the best way to store iceburg lettuce? I take the core out by smashing it on counter, take the brownish parts off and store in a ziploc bag with as much air removed as I can. I only eat iceburg and shop once a month so keeping it somewhat fresh is key.
I cut, wash and dry celery so it's ready to eat, then store it with a paper towel in a sealed container. Stays crunchy for ages!!
I only discovered this channel last week and I’ve already learnt so much from her!
Welcome to the channel!!
Very helpful video. I’ve thrown away so much bagged lettuce because it turns mushy before use. I’ll definitely try some of these tips.❤️
Hi Kimmy, thank you for the tips on storing vegetables and fruits. I really needed tips on storing my fruits 🍌 and veggies 🍅 God bless you and your family always 🙏😘💜

Thanks for the celery tip! I've most definitely thrown out whole bags of celery that looked identical.
I have a good-sized sturdy plastic lettuce knife that helps keep lettuce, celery, etc, when you cut it. Sometimes using a metal knife of any kind will for some reason leave a brown mark.
Have a blessed Sunday Kimmy and Fam💗
All it takes is a wee bit of prepwork too keep veggies fresh. Thanks for posting your tips! I pre-make salad for the week (minus tomatoes and non-veggie toppings). It does great!
Celery does well when wrapped in foil.
@@Jean2235177 Didn"t for me. Worked better w/water. Whatever works for each of us I guess.
Happy Sunday have a blessed one💝
I would LOVE 💗 to see you make a video where you make authentic ramen bowls!! Like what you see on the streets in China 🇨🇳 and Japan 🇯🇵
One tip I know is never let a metal knife touch lettuce. It'll brown. So always tear or get a non-metal knife.
Thank you for the green onion tip! I've had 2 bunches go bad already! I wish I had known I could just feeze them. Lol..
Thank you Kimmy! I loooove your channel!
Love your vids..... I am in the UK and Lakeland sell veg bags that prolong the life of veg....pack of 20...really good
Great tips! I'll be doing that for strawberries! 🤗
so many good ideas Kimmy!! I'm going to try these for sure! My husband is the only one that likes mushrooms and they always go bad but i will give the paper bag a try :)
Super helpful : ) I don't eat meat so I like to learn new tips on keeping veg/fruit. Thank you : ) bless you
Thanks for the tips. Love learning new ways to use everything before it goes bad.
Thanks Kimmy, the mushroom tip is awesome. I'm definitely going to give that go.🤗
Thanks Kimmy and everyone I have been doing alot of these wrong thanks for the tip as well as from others in the comments
Great tips! I don't buy a lot of paper products so I use cloth napkins usually with lettuce to absorb the extra moisture. Will try your other ideas now too.
Lettuce? How does that work?
Hi honey, I’m gong to try all these hacks as I just went food shopping yesterday, amazing, I didn’t know! TFS 💕
When I bring strawberries home from the store I take the green tops off, wash them and put them in a canning jar and they last at least 2 weeks in the fridge. I also take my lettuce and put it in a canning jar and use my jar sealer with my food saver and it stays good much longer. Great tip about the mushrooms, never heard that before. Anxious to try it. Oh and for avocados, if I cut in half to use, I store the half with the put in a canning jar and then use the jar sealer again because it takes all the air out and it lasts so much longer.
Your lefty.? Sandy
What’s lefty?
Julie Tann sorry...autocorrect. I changed it to say lettuce. Thanks for mentioning it so I could fix the comment.
Good morning all..i always rince lettuce/veggies with cold water and vinegar...fruits with lemon water...wonderful... Stay safe the awesome LORD IS IN CONTROL...🙏💕🙏
Morning Kimmy! Fantastic and useful tips 👍🏻! Have a wonderful Sunday!!!! 😁😉❤️
Great ideas, I normally put it in water in a container, or I’ll wrap in foil wrap, use and wash when needed.
Some amazing tips on how to make fruits and produce last longer. I also place a sandwich size baggie over the top of my asparagus while it is standing in water, keeps the tops from drying out. I am glad that you shared how to keep green onions fresh, brilliant! 😀
Thank you so much for this. I had no idea about the apple with avocados tip.
Perfect timing I have to buy new produce today
Love this! Thank you for the tips! I have yet to find a way to keep scallions to keep fresh in the fridge and can't wait to try this tip today.
With the lettuce you can also put it in a air tight container with a paper towel if you don't want to waste a plastic bag. Last a while if you change the paper towel out every 2-3 days to make sure it aborbs any leftover water
Thank you so much for these tips. I have learnt a lot
Thank you Kimmy! I really needed help with the lettuce and spinach.
I love these tips. Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks for the tips! Have a wonderful week!
Some great hacks I have heard that cucumbers don't like the cold in the fridge so they go off quicker.
Kimmy, next time try leaving the washed lettuce in the salad spinner. It has never lasted more than 3 days for me when I cut, wash, and place in bowl or plastic bag with paper toweling. The spinner allows for proper air flow and keeps the lettuce crisp. I do all the heads and it keeps for a good week.
I have better luck leaving the celery whole (I like to use the tops/leaves in stocks) and wrapped in paper toweling. No bag. Again helps with air flow.
And berries I never wash. We wash as we eat/use. I have 2 week old blue berries from a farm that are still good. Left in their original package.
I would be careful storing lemons stacked like that. Leads to rot/mold. Best to keep flat and in a storage container that you csn get the air out of.
Of course I food prep differently and only do so for 3 days. By the end of the week carrots are floppy and celery is saggy.
You just save mi life with this video
Well... learn something new everyday! Had no idea what that little button looking thing was on the salad spinner. I always stop it from spinning with my hand. It can hurt it they are cold and wet. Now I know what that "button" is!
Kimmy, I absolutely LOVE this video, and I had to laugh...... we do SO many of the exact same things! Using papertowels inside of bags, etc. With my things like coleslaw tho.... papertowels on both side... but I fold the top down about 3 times, then just pop on 3 clothspins! So much easier than the tape. I have to say also... IF you can, Tupperware makes a product called Fridge Mates now and they are FABULOUS!!! Fruits and veggies honestly last a LONG time!!!
The Tupperware line is actually Fridgesmarts
Thank you!! I learned so much from this video.
Thank you for making this video! I'm always looking for tips in how to keep your produce lasting longer! 😁 You are so great at what you do! Love following you!
I have a great celery tip. I bring it home from the store, cut them up in stalks, wash and towel dry them, then wrap them all in heavy duty aluminum foil,then place in the crisper drawer. They will be crisp and yummy for a month! This is truly the best hack I’ve found.
she mentioned that in the video and said she didn't like the idea lol
Aluminum is a toxin. 😑
Awesome tips very helpful and nicely explained
Thank you this was so Helpful and it was right on time when I am about to do a major grocery shopping and haul. Have a wonderful Sunday 🤗🤗☺️☺️
Thank you! I really needed this info! You offered some really helpful and great tips!
Amazing tips, some id haven’t heard before. Thank you.
This was helpful, especially the strawberries! Thanks!
Great information. Learned a lot.
Great info. Thank you
Thank you for the tips. Just love watching your videos!! Hugs from Arkansas
I've had the same issue over the past several months with Costco celery and I'm in Canada.. I've taken to chopping half the bag and sticking them in the freezer (flatten the bag) so it's ready for soup/stew/casseroles and keep the rest in the fridge for fresh eating.
That was great about mushrooms I did not know will try it next time I get a large container. Was going through mushrooms like crazy going bad. Glad it does not have to be the same day getting them re-bagged again I'm to to tired after shopping .What about potatoes, how do you keep them so long too. Now with the virus my store is bagging them in 10lbs, instead of individual picking out. It is the two of us now. Thank You, this was needed now more then ever in this time and it was nice to see a person who really uses produce to show us what to do. Stay Safe in this time of up and downs.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!! I needed this video and can I just say thank you for always being 100% real in your videos. And showing us how to use what the produce comes in to store rather than paying tons of money for fancy Tupperware that works the same. I absolutely love your channel!! So much love to you & your family!! 💜
I buy fresh celery (not cut up, still on the stalk). I wrap it tightly with aluminium foil and it keeps in the crisper drawer for 3 weeks. I then cut off the base, soak it in water for a few days and plant it out in the garden
I loooove this video! So informative! Thank you! 💕
These tips are so helpful! Thank you so much for this ❤️
Girl I needed this video ! Thank you ☺️
Very nice, can't wait to try these ideas.
Very helpful video! Could you do a video where you show how you saute your mushrooms/veggies? Thanks!
so many videos about food and cooking lately; i'm missing your cleaning videos, and laundry folding chats
Carrots and celery if you cut them small enough to fit in a mason jar and fill it up with water they both will last a long time in your refridge. Your scallions or green onion, if you put them in a glass of water on your counter they will last for a long time and you will notice that they will continue to grow and you can take nips off of that for garnish or put it in your food
Thank you so much! I needed to learn more.
Love your videos greetings from Mexico !
Great tips! I store berries on a shelf in the middle of fridge and only wash them right before we use them. They will last a week this way.
I read and have tried that u can store celery in the fridge if u wrap aluminium foil around it
We store avocado in the pantry rather then in the fridge as it helps ripen them and we store uncooked eggs in the pantry but it a different process with eggs in the uk
Thanks for the great tips Kimmie!
Great tips! Thank you for sharing! 👍😘
Thank you so much for this video! Can anyone recommend a good purple onion storage video to me? That's why I came here, although I ended up finding much more interesting information 😊
I also store a full celery in
wrapped in foil. Avocados in the brown paper bag in the refrigerator. Just put a big sticker Avocados.
We do the same thing with the paper towels.
Thank you for this great video. May I ask where did you purchase the purple knife you used, I love it
Advice I have for green onions when you cut the bottoms off set the bottom in a mason jar with water and set it near the kitchen window and they regrow within 2-3 days. You save so much money & get more for free
You can put a paper towel or rag on the top of the spinach (lid side) and just flip it - it stays fresh for weeks.
