Produce Storage
How you store your produce can help minimize food waste and prolong shelf life, saving you money and frustration. Did you know that some fruits and vegetables produce ethylene, which can cause other fruits and vegetables to ripen more quickly? Storing ethylene emitters and absorbers separately can make a big difference. Check out our chart to know which is which! Here are a few other quick tips:
- Cut the leafy tops off of produce like carrots, beets, and radishes
- Keep leafy greens in a container, or resealable plastic bag, with a paper towel to absorb extra moisture
- When storing produce in the refrigerator, use a container or reusable plastic bag. Don’t store produce in compostable bags!
