Did you know that the nearly 25% of the fruits and vegetables bought by the average American family (whoever they are!) gets thrown out? Not only is that wasteful, it can add up to a loss of about $500 per year.My friend Holly sent me this article about how to properly store food in your refrigerator for maximum life. Thanks for the great info, Holly!
I learned that you should only refrigerate cucumbers and peppers for a few days -- who knew? By the way, I have used those green produce bags in the past and they work well. And one last tip: to store washed lettuce, put it in a tupperware container with a small saucer turned upside-down in the bottom. It drains the water and helps the lettuce last longer.
