15. Store cottage cheese and sour cream upside down
Be sure to store source cream and cottage cheese containers upside down in the fridge. This process creates a vacuum, making it harder for bacteria to grow.
16. Wrap banana stems
Keep bananas fresh for longer by wrapping the stems. This process slow down the release of ethylene gas.
17. Freeze milk
Milk lasts longer when frozen. Alternatively, if you are storing milk in your fridge, keep it in the main section of the fridge rather than the door as it’s colder there.
18. Store potatoes with apples
Avoid storing potatoes with onions as it will make them last less long. Instead, store potatoes with apples to prevent early sprouting. This is because apples give off ethlylene gas. For long term storage of 2-3 months, be sure to keep potatoes in a cool, dark place.
