Storage Tips

Freeze food

  • Freeze items for extended shelf life, such as fresh herbs in olive oil, juiced fruits, and bread.
     

  • Avoid freezing fried foods, yogurt, or
    high-moisture items like lettuce or watermelon.
     

  • Don't leave food unrefrigerated for over two hours.

Maximise edible parts

  • Utilize the entire vegetable—eat carrots and potatoes with their skin.
     

  • Cook vegetable peels and other edible bits, freeze, and use when needed.
     

  • Serve appropriate portions and opt for smaller plates.

First in, first out

  • Prioritize food close to expiry at the front of shelves for visibility.
     

  • Designate a weekly day to consume leftovers or items nearing expiration.
     

  • Understand that food labeled "best before" may still be safe to eat.
     

  • Label storage bins and wrapped items with dates for easy tracking.

Fresh food storage tips

  • Seal lemons in plastic bags and refrigerate greens with a paper towel.
     

  • Re-wrap cheese in parchment paper instead of original plastic.
     

  • Puree aging greens and freeze them for smoothie boosters.
     

  • Store natural nut butters upside down to prevent separation.
     

  • Keep non-perishable condiments and dressings in the warmer fridge door shelves.
