If you’re storing produce in bags, like spinach or lettuce, simply tuck a paper towel inside the bag. Not only will this help your veggies last longer, but it also keeps your fridge drawers cleaner, so you won’t have to clean them as often.
I personally hate seeing food go to waste, especially when fresh produce is so expensive. It’s frustrating to watch fruits and vegetables spoil before we get a chance to enjoy them. That’s why using paper towels is such a helpful solution. Just place some in your crisper drawers or inside bags of leafy greens to prevent them from wilting too quickly.
Fruits and vegetables naturally release moisture over time, which can cause them to become soggy and wilted. The paper towels absorb this excess moisture, helping your produce stay fresh longer.
If you haven’t tried this trick yet, now is a perfect time to start! A few sheets of paper towel can go a long way in reducing food waste, keeping your produce fresh, and even saving you money.
