Natural Ways to Keep Your Food Fresh Longer in San Mateo

March 19th, 2015

We waste many tons of food in this country every day, filling our landfills with the leftovers from our tables or the food that has gone bad in our cupboards and refrigerators. Such excessive waste is an environmental nightmare that depletes our precious resources instead of feeding the people who are truly hungry.

There are some ways to keep food fresh and prevent excessive waste in our luxury green apartments in San Mateo. Here are a few ideas.

• Use folded paper towels to keep carrots, celery and lettuce fresh in refrigerator crispers and be sure to wash out the bins once a week to prevent bacterial growth.
• Keeping avocados, potatoes, citrus fruit, melons, bananas and tomatoes in an open basket on your kitchen counter, and not in your refrigerator, will prevent off-gassing that spoils other refrigerated foods.
• Use glass containers rather than plastic for storing mushrooms, cheese, and left-overs.
• Storing nut meats in the freezer prevents the oils in the nuts from turning the nut flesh rancid, especially in hot weather.
