What is the Real Shelf Life of Food In Your Fridge?

December 1, 2014

It is a common belief that healthy eating is expensive. Although choosing quality ingredients can cost a little more, the true expense comes when you buy premium food only to have it go bad! To cut down on your food waste, first make sure that you are meal planning and buying only what you need. The next step is to make sure that you are storing your food correctly so that you prevent it from going bad before you can use it. Follow these guidelines to make sure you are keeping your food fresh and getting the most bang for your buck!

Quick Tips for Food Storage

• The fresher the produce is in your grocery store, the longer it will last at home. So do your best to opt for local, in-season produce.
• Keep bananas, citrus, tomatoes, and apples away from other produce. They give off a gas that causes other produce to ripen faster.
• Use the refrigerator crisper drawers. They help create an environment that will preserve your fresh produce.
• Remove the ties of anything that bunches such as herbs or greens. Allowing them to breathe will increase their shelf life.
