21 Ways to Make your Food Last Longer

Each year, American households throw away $640 worth of food away, typically because they buy too much or fail to eat the leftovers. The survey, conducted by the American Chemistry Council, revealed that three quarters of Americans throw away food once a month while half do so once a week.

Most people polled were concerned with the amount of money wasted associated with throwing food away. Here are some helpful tips to help make food last longer!

·      Onions- Store in a paper bag in a cool, dark place. As long as the temperature is above freezing.

·      Cheese- Wrap the cheese in parchment paper and follow with a layer of foil.

·      Berries- Rinse in a mix of one part vinegar and three parts water.

·      Herbs- Trim stems, place in a glass of water and loosely cover with a plastic before placing in a refrigerator.

·      Apples- Store in a refrigerator on the bottom drawer.
