The Best Way to Store Fresh Produce
Different fruits and vegetables need different storage. Here's how to keep produce fresh longer.
Proper storage extends the life of your produce significantly. Different items have different needs.
Most vegetables last longest in the crisper drawer—set to high humidity for leafy greens, low for things like peppers.

Tomatoes should never go in the fridge—they lose flavor and get mealy. Store at room temperature.
Berries wash only before eating—they go bad faster when washed. The Produce Keeper helps them last.
Herbs like cilantro, parsley, and mint last longest stored in water like flowers—trim the stems and put in a glass in the fridge.
Onions and potatoes store in a cool, dark, dry place—never in the fridge. Keep them away from each other.
