1. **Store at the Right Temperature**

– Keep your refrigerator below 40°F (4°C) and your freezer at 0°F (-18°C) to slow down spoilage.

2. **Use Airtight Containers**

– Store leftovers and dry goods in airtight containers to prevent moisture and air from degrading quality.

3. **Wrap Herbs Properly**

– Wrap fresh herbs in a damp paper towel, place them in a plastic bag, and store them in the fridge to keep them fresh.

4. **Don’t Wash Produce Until Ready to Use**

– Washing fruits and vegetables can introduce moisture that promotes mold growth. Wash only before consumption.

5. **Use Ice Water for Greens**

– For leafy greens, immerse them in ice water for a few minutes to revive and keep them crisp.

6. **Store Tomatoes at Room Temperature**

– Keep tomatoes out of the fridge to maintain their flavor and texture.

7. **Keep Onions and Potatoes Separate**

– Store onions in a cool, dry place and away from potatoes to prevent sprouting and spoilage.

8. **Utilize Freezing**

– Freeze excess fruits, vegetables, and cooked meals in portion-sized containers for future use.

9. **Keep Berries Dry**
