Hello Everyone,

The length of time your herbs keep fresh depends on how you store them. Fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro or chives are best stored in the fridge in plastic. Cover the herbs with a plastic bag and secure with a rubber band at the roots or stems. Take the herbs out as you need them.

Store onions and potatoes separately

You should never store onions and potatoes together. The
potatoes will spoil faster this way. It's best to store the
onions in a cool, dry place and the potatoes on a separate
shelf, at a far distance from the onions.

Make berries last longer with vinegar

Before you store your berries in the fridge soak them in
vinegar to extend their freshness by two weeks. Add one
part vinegar to 10 parts water and dip each berry in this
solution for a few seconds. Rinse afterwards and then put
them in the fridge.
