Five foods that you may not be storing in the best way: here are some tips to make them last longer.

Edited by the Cucina editorial team

Avoiding wasting food is essential in a historical period like ours: both to limit our impact on the planet and to limit the impact on our pockets . If we have always been taught that throwing away food is a deplorable habit, very often our habits depend on the methods we use to preserve food . Today we will tell you the tricks to better preserve 5 foods that perhaps until now you have not preserved in the best way, so that they last as long as possible: here we will tell you about them.

1. Cheese

If you have always stored it in cling film , you should know that it is not a good habit, although it is convenient. In fact, this “suffocates” the cheese, which, for proper preservation, needs to “breathe” so as not to dry out or, worse still, create mold due to the opposite problem, that is, excess humidity. Wrap it in baking paper and it will last up to 7 days on the top shelf of the fridge.

2. Bananas

Bananas ripen faster in the fridge: it is best to store them at room temperature by wrapping the stem in cling film. This way the gas produced during ripening, ethylene, will not escape and the ageing process will be slowed down.
