Keep veg and lettuce fresh with a genius tip 'smartest decision I've ever made!'

How to make fruit and veg last longer

Never leave some out

While some fruit ripens out of the fridge, other types only rot. Always keep lemons, berries and grapes in the fridge.

Keep them apart

Storing certain fruit and veg together can shorten the lifespan of other produce.

Bananas, peaches, and avocadoes produce ethylene gas, ripening other fruit and veg around them. So, store these as separately as possible.

Use a bowl and kitchen paper

Keep salad fresh by putting it into a bowl and covering it with a few sheets of kitchen paper.

This will keep it far more crisp than the plastic bag it came from the supermarket in.
