How To Store Your Fruits So They Last

If you know me at all, you know how much I LOVE my fruits and vegetables…what you might not know about me is how terribly sad I get when I have to throw them out (I usually throw them out to the critters outside) when they are well, let’s just say, less than (and with soaring food prices it is really important to throw away little and make the best at what you have!)

In comes the good ol’ Mason Jar. You probably have a few kicking around your house like I do - so say goodbye to ditchen’ your fruits and veggies from your kitchen and say hello to some really healthy snacks that can keep to two weeks in your fridge!

Step 1: Find your clean Mason Jars and their lids - I like to use various sized jars to help save space in my fridge. You can purchase the white plastic, screw-on style lids at any Walmart.

Step 2. Put a small 4 x 4 piece of paper towel at the bottom of the jar. This will help with any moisture that may be on your fruits and veggies.

Step 3. Make sure your fruits and veggies are dry. Some people like to wash them first - I do not as I find they don’t last as long (I do wash them before I eat them though).

Step 4. Put them immediately in your fridge.

Step 5. Enjoy!

Yep! It’s THAT easy!
