Aren’t there times when it is only mid-week and you open the door to find an empty fridge? Those who shop for groceries during the weekend definitely go through this problem. Even if you shop for fruits and vegetables that would be enough for 6 people to survive through a snowstorm, doesn’t all that just disappear into thin air?
Little did you know there are ways to stop you from shopping twice a week! And who does not like to let go of the unhealthy slices of pizza and those stacks of pancakes and eat healthy for once? With these methods to keep your fruits and vegetables last longer, not only you can reduce the grocery bill but also start eating healthy for once!
Store the vegetables and fruits ASAP
Don’t think of stopping by at a pottery barn sale when you’re on the way from the supermarket on a lovely summer afternoon! Make sure to park your vehicle in a shade and unload the vegetables and fruits first and store them in the refrigerator. You can keep some ice packs in the vehicle if getting the veggies and fruits into the refrigerator is an absolute impossibility.
Remove the Stalks
Stalks will suck out any moisture from the vegetables leaving them dry. Vegetables such as beetroot, carrots and even onions can dry up and wrinkle if you don’t cut them off as soon as you get hold of them.
Save the avocados!
A simple hack to avoid your avocados from going brown is to add some acidity. Spritz some lemon juice on to the cut halves of the avocado and save the avocados for a few more days until you make your next sandwich.
Revive your Soggy Salad
It is understandable if you want to skip your soggy salad and go for a dirty burger. But what you find the perfect solution to revive that soggy salad? Cut off the dark bits of the salad leaves and soak the leaves in cold water for 2-3 minutes and dry them in paper towels.
