Fresh vegetables make every meal better. The key is storing them properly so they stay crisp and last longer.

Keep these tips in mind:

• Leafy greens stay fresh when wrapped in paper towels and kept dry in the fridge
• Root vegetables like potatoes and onions should be stored in a cool and dark place
• Avoid washing before storing to prevent extra moisture
• Use breathable containers or bags to keep air flowing

A little care goes a long way. You will waste less food and always have fresh ingredients ready.
