Tips to Keep Potatoes Fresh and Prevent Sprouting
Potatoes are a nutrient-dense staple in every kitchen, but if not stored properly, they can sprout readily, compromising their quality and safety. Here are some easy ways to keep your potatoes fresh and sprout-free:
Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Potatoes thrive in dry, cool, and well-ventilated conditions, away from direct sunlight.
Place them in paper bags or breathable baskets to prevent moisture buildup and mold.
Keep Potatoes Away from Onions
Onions produce ethylene gas, which accelerates the sprouting process in potatoes.
Store them separately to prolong the freshness of your potatoes.
