    Thanks for all the great tips. 🥑 I just learned to first let an avocado ripen. The brown stem on the end will easily be taken off when ripe. Then you can put it uncut in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for a couple of days. I tried it, and it worked.🥑

    To avoid cut Apples 🍎🍏 from turning brown squeeze some Lime/Lemon 🍋 Juice on the unpeeled part of the Apple 🍎. Same goes for avocados 🥑.

    @vickymarinou6271 4 года назад +4

    You can keep cucumbers fresh in the fridge if you put them in a paperbag and then in a plastic bag. Check after a few days to make sure the bag is not too wet. If it is then change the bag to a fresh one. I've kept cucumbers fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks using this method. This also works well for zucchini.

  • @InvestingHustler

    I've done the alum foil celery storage for many years, but I've always encased the leaves as well. I will split a stalk into two halves next time and try it both ways to see if either is better. And, yes, I can usually keep it about a month.

  • @larrybe2900
    @larrybe2900 4 года назад +10

    For keeping bananas, (cut) each banana''s stem away from the common bunch. This will self seal the stem instead of using foil. Do this as soon as you bring the bunch home.

  • @Africanknight88
    @Africanknight88 5 лет назад +14

    And another point on bananas 🍌...make sure you hang them from a hook suspended in there natural state to while wrapping the tips on the bushel. Helps tremendously! And also bananas peels make great fertilizer!

  • @crystalsanders4334

    • @Pippins666
      @Pippins666 Год назад

      ...but makes the tomatoes tasteless ...that's assuming you buy decent tomatoes, supermarket buyers have emphasised shelf life over everything else, and taste has effectively been bred out. With tomatoes, you get what you pay for

    Potatoe storage. Put your potatoes in a bowl put in a layer of paper towels on the bottom of bowl& add some potatoes another layer of paper towels. Do not cover with any lid. Change the top layer of paper once too wet. Keeping them in the fridge helps them not to sprout or very little. Pls make sure you use a nice size bowl. U could also use an disposable roasting pan layered with paper towels
