2. Keep sliced green onions in the freezer in plastic bottles. Just be sure onions are dry before placing them in the bottle.
3. Follow these rules that may be stored at room temperature, and that in the fridge. At room temperature: avocados, apricots, bananas, citrus fruits, garlic, kiwi, melons, nectarines, onions, pears, peaches, plums, pineapples, potatoes. In the refrigerator: apples, beans, berries, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cherries, corn, cucumber, zucchini, ginger, grapes, jalapenos, leafy greens, mushrooms, zucchini.
4. Store the greens, putting her "bunch" in water, like flowers, then cover with a package, tie with a rubber band and refrigerate. This will help to keep herbs such as parsley, Basil, cilantro and onions.
5. Store oily herbs separately from other types of greenery. Herbs such as thyme should be tied and hung in the fresh air.
6. If you use herbs, you can purchase the device Herb Savor, it will prolong the freshness of some herbs to three weeks.
7. Mix a solution of vinegar and water (1:10). Soak the berries in this solution, then dry, then wipe and put it in the fridge. The solution should be sufficiently diluted with water so that the vinegar you feel. Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries — two weeks.
8. Sprinkle the remains of the guacamole with cooking spray (or pour a thin layer of oil) before you put it in the fridge. You can also do with tomato paste.

12. To cheese from drying from the cut side, brush it with a small amount of butter.
13. And one more thing about cheese. Wrap it in special cheese paper or waxed paper (not cling film) and then put in the package. Store cheese in the warmest parts of the refrigerator (in the box for cheese or vegetables).
14. Fresh herbs can be stored in the freezer frozen in olive oil. The herbs will soak the oil for its flavor and the spiced cubes of ice oil can then be used in cooking: simply take one cube and add as a base to the dish. Works well with rosemary, thyme and oregano. But dill, Basil and mint should always be used fresh.
15. Store products so:

17. Wrap the banana stem with cling film, so they will last for 3-5 days longer. Also, bananas produce more ethylene, so keep them away from other vegetables and fruits.
18. This trick with the paper towel will help your lettuce stay fresh all week. The towel will absorb moisture.
19. Before putting in the fridge celery, broccoli and lettuce, wrap them in foil.
20. Glass jars are indispensable in the storage of the products. They are much better than plastic containers.
21. As soon as something got corrupted in the fridge, the smell and the mold will remain for a long time, so the fridge should be regularly "inspect" and if necessary to wash.
22. Tomatoes. Don't store them in plastic bags "wrapped" ethylene gas will accelerate decay. Unripe tomatoes should be stored stem down in a paper bag or separately on a shelf until they ripen.

24. Ginger is best kept in the freezer.
25. The nuts need to roast as quickly as possible after purchase. Roasted nuts retain flavor and aroma longer. Store in the freezer.
26. Store the mushrooms in a paper bag, not plastic.
