Wow! I didn’t know most of the tips mentioned above. It’s a great help! Also, when buying perishable goods, it is good to check their production, shelf life, and storage dates. It is also nice to arrange the food and products in the refrigerator and label them to follow the rule of ‘First in, First out’ 🙂

These tips were really useful to save vegetables and the money we spent on them to get wasted. Spoiled food has always been a problem. It was always a hassle to keep them from rotting and getting wasted. The vegetables were not even used many times before the rot. So this blog been really helpful.

Tomatoes on counter, the fridge ruins them. If you need them to ripen quickly, in a paper bag. Same for avocados. Condiments fridge. Nuts/seeds in freezer or fridge. Flours in freezer. Nuts oil in fridge. Celery that goes limp…cuts off bottom put in very cold water cup. Will crisp up. Same with leafy herbs like parsley and cilantro.
Put cut/chopped lettuces in ice cold bowl to crisp up.

My mother always told me to keep nuts, especially expensive pecans (live in the NC – hot and humid most of the year) as well as chocolate chips..we always need these on hand when somebody wants want cc cookies as well as coffee beans. All condiments go into the fridge because I like them cold and again, it just seems to keep them fresher….and…my mother also did that. I put flour in the fridge since we use it so infrequently. I had a Canadian BIL and he always insisted leaving the butter on the counter. That was plain yucky to me as it has dairy in it.

These are really helpful tips that should be shared by everyone! I didn’t know that nuts and seeds should be stored in the fridge!

If you need to store parsley / cilantro fresh, cut the bottom of the bunch, and put the bunch in a glass with a little water and set it in the fridge. Looks like you’re “fridging” flowers (to quote my son) but it keeps the leaves fresh and crisp for quite a while.

I recently heard on an NPR interview that, interestingly, refrigerating tomatoes affects it’s chemistry such that it ruins the “aroma” of the fruit, not the texture. Also, I keep my condiments in the frig for who-knows-why. Sometimes the bottles says to refrigerate, but if it doesn’t, I just guess. Things I refrigerate: soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayo (duh), relish, marinades, salad dressing, sesame seed oil (but not canola or olive oil…or vinegars).

First time I’ve seen your videos and I love them. Ii love that you make cleaning so easy and fun. I’ve always separated my bananas but the tip about putting Saran wrap on the stem is going to be very useful. I can’t wait to buy some green onions and try your tip.

In the fridge, BUT I wonder how long you should keep mustard, jams, salad dressing, marinades etc. in the fridge. Some of that stuff seems to be in there a long time. I suppose I should date it when it goes in? Suggestions welcome!

I keep on condiments in the fridge-most of them say refridgerate after opening. Honey has always been in my cupboard,
