Use Airtight Containers

Store grains, nuts, and dried foods in airtight containers to prevent moisture and air from spoiling them.

Use Glass Jars

Glass jars are perfect for storing dry goods, sauces, or leftovers, and they last longer than plastic containers.

Store Produce Properly

Store fruits and vegetables in the fridge or pantry according to their needs. Apples in the fridge, potatoes in a cool, dark place.

Keep Herbs Fresh

Wrap fresh herbs in a damp paper towel and store them in a ziplock bag, or freeze them in ice cubes.

Freeze Overripe Fruits

Freeze overripe fruits like bananas and berries for smoothies or baking, so they don’t go to waste.

Use Beeswax Wraps

Instead of plastic, use beeswax wraps to store fruits, vegetables, or leftover food. It’s eco-friendly and keeps food fresh.

Store Eggs in the Back of the Fridge

Keep eggs in the back of the fridge, where it’s coldest, to extend their freshness.
