Keep your produce fresh
When you get that beautiful fresh produce home from the store or farmer’s market, be sure to remove it from the plastic bag or wrap. That’s a surefire way to keep it from ripening properly and to ensure it rots faster.
Store produce in brown paper bags or cloth produce bags. Both of these draw moisture away from the produce, but keep the air moist.
Wash out your veggie drawer, dry it really well, and line it with paper towels or an old dishtowel. Again, they will draw the moisture away from the food, but help to keep the air moist. And cool, moist air is perfect for storing produce.
