Learn how to properly store your groceries to keep food flavorful, save money on groceries, and reduce food waste.
Nuts
Do: Refrigerator // Don't: Pantry Toss nuts into a resealable bag or storage container in the refrigerator. Their natural oils become rancid quicker at room temperature and cause a sharp, bitter flavor. Cool, dry conditions slow the process, and they can last for a year or more.
Eggs
Do: Refrigerator Middle Shelf // Don't: Refrigerator Door Store raw eggs in the coldest part of the refrigerator - the middle shelf. Even though the door has cute built-in egg cups, the temperature fluctuates too much for food safety experts.
Potatoes
Do: Pantry // Don't: Refrigerator Place unwashed potatoes in perforated plastic bags or paper bags out of the light. Avoid kitchen hot spots like underneath the sink, above the oven or near a window. The cold converts the potato's starch to sugar, leaving you with a discolored, weirdly-sweet spud, and the heat promotes sprouting.
Tomatoes
Do: Counter // Don't: Refrigerator Stop giving tomatoes the cold shoulder. Instead, lay them face up at room temperature out of direct sunlight. They lose flavor and water in the chilly refrigerator. For short-term storage, stash them in a paper bag in the coolest part of the kitchen.
