Get the most out of your weekly shop, with our top tips on keeping your food fresh
Keep lemons in the fridge
Add a paper towel to your leafy greens
Leafy greens have high water content, by lining your airtight container with a dry paper towel you’ll be able to remove excess moisture, which will keep them from turning early!
Treat your asparagus like a bouquet
Simply trim the stems and store them in a vase/jar in some water until you’re ready to cook!
Stem down for stone fruits
Your peaches, nectarines and plums like to live in the fruit bowl, but they’ll stay happy much longer if their stem-end down
One bad apple really does spoil the bunch
Store apples separately to avoid the Ethylene ripening the surrounding fruits before you’re ready to eat them
Tomatoes are a fan of the fruit bowl
Putting your tomatoes in the fridge can dull their flavour, store them in the fruit bowl or on the counter to keep them fresh
Store sweet potatoes in the pantry
Any cool dry space will work, but don’t pop them in the fridge as it speeds up their spoiling process
Turn wilting herbs into ice cubes
By throwing your older herbs into an ice tray with some oil to freeze you’ll have these little flavour bombs ready to whip up soups, roasts and sauces at a moments notice!
