Certain fruits and veg need to be stored in particular ways, or risk ending up in the bin.
With autumn in full swing, dropping temperatures may impact the shelf life of your favourite fruits and vegetables.
According to Vlatka Late, storage expert at self-storage operator Space Station, potatoes need to be stored in a certain way, whether they are supermarket bought or home grown. If improperly kept, the tubers risk going soft, sprouting and even growing mould. The Express reports that unlike many other vegetables, potatoes also need to be well-ventilated so avoid any airtight containers.
Vlatka warned: “If your spinach is not in an airtight container, you must make sure you don't store it adjacent or near to ethylene-producing fruits and veg such as your broccoli and sprouts, as exposure to this gas will speed up the decaying process.” “When exposed, they will start to yellow and rot so this makes it all the more important to keep them contained within the fridge.”
As with potatoes, many people choose to store them in their garage, as it’s cooler. The expert claimed: “If stored correctly, a whole head of garlic could last for up to half a year, however, once you break apart the cloves, their shelf life drastically decreases, typically lasting from two to three weeks.”
