How to Store Fresh Produce

As you are filling your grocery cart with fruits and vegetables it is important to know how to store produce correctly so it lasts as long as possible, especially if you buy organic. 

Avocados can be ripened quickly if put in a brown paper bag with a banana. Whereas if you want to slow the ripening process, put avocados in the fridge. 

To store bananas long term, peel, slice and store in the freezer in a plastic bag. They will keep for awhile in the freezer and they work great for smoothies. 

See the Kehres Health grocery list and recipes.

    I heard it's best to store tomatoes at room temp, also.

    I store my bananas in the fridge. They don't ripen at all and last forever. The skins go brown but thats not a problem. I let them ripen on the counter

    Many supermarkets sell ripe bananas by the bag (holds about 16 bananas for $1.50). They're great for smoothies or you can peel, slice, and freeze them for non-dairy banana "ice cream" by simply putting them in a food processor til they turn to the consistency of soft serve ice cream.

    I'd put them in the crisper in the fridge, they tend to store better that way.
