There are many tricks to food preservation and how to keep your food lasting as long as possible to prevent your food from going bad and your hard earned money being wasted.
There are a few key components to keeping your food fresh.
- Purchase some 100% air tight containers.
- Freezer zip lock bag and store your food.
- Vacuum storage bags.
- Wash and chop your fruits and vegetables.
Make sure all your vegetables are in air tight containers, wrapped up properly and stored in Tupperware to insure freshness.
When you wash and chop all your food when it arrives from the market, it not only makes everything more convenient to store, but cooking is faster and easier.
All you have to do to is throw some vegetables from your container on to the sauce pan or eat them raw to get the best nutrients from your produce. Less mess means less clean up.
You may spend some extra time in the kitchen when unpacking all the grocery but the time and money you will save is worth it in the long run.
