Best way to store fruit & veggies

[AngelPunks]

I swear by the fridgesmart containers from tupperware - a bit expensive to start out with but well worth it in the end.

I get my F&V at the farmers market so I know it is farm fresh but the fridgesmart allows me to keep the stuff longer, also allows me to cut up the veges etc into useable chunks so I'm not having to do the prep work just before cooking!

We also have the FridgeSmart containers from Tupperware. They definately keep f & v fresher for longer. They are a bit exxie though. And I don't always use them because they do take up a lot of room in the fridge. Also, I never store tomatos in the fridge anymore.I keep them in a bowl on the kitchen bench.

We are the same. I use a large container for my carrots, cucumber and celery sticks and then put into two smaller containers whatever other vegies I have purchased which is usually broccoli and cauliflower (I cut up into chunks before putting into container so so easy from a cooking perspective), mushies, pumpkin and capsicum. They keep the vegies fresh for so much longer. If I have strawberries I will also put them into one of these containers. I keep vegies all in one crisper and fruit in other.

On the fruit side I simply have a large plastic bowl that I put in my crisper filled with apples, pears and whatever other seasonal fruit we purchase. The fruit tends to get eaten pretty quickly in our household so I dont need to store it specially. I also put bananas in the fridge just because otherwise I find they ripen too quickly.

In my pantry I have one of the large tupperware vegetable storers where I put my sweet pot, potato and onions. It also does keep them longer too. As you can tell I am a tupperware fan.

I have one of those and I find that the potatoes sprout quicker in them than in the bag. Not sure what is going on there.

I love my Tupperware fruit and vegie keepers too - keeps things soo much longer. I've taken one of the crisper drawers out of my fridge and put the tupperware things there instead.
