Different types of produce require specific storage methods to stay fresh longer.
Impulse purchases often lead to excess produce and food waste. Plan your meals to buy only the produce you can use.
Creating a shopping list encourages checking your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer first, using items you already have.
Washing produce immediately when you bring it home can lead to a shorter shelf-life of the items.
If you can’t use up produce before it spoils, freeze it.
