6 GENIUS FOOD HACKS THAT WILL HELP YOU SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE FOOD WASTE! Follow @kalejunkie for more tips! This is a roundup of my most viral tips I’ve shared over the past year, plus 2 new ones! As always, these are methods that work for ME, so try them out and see which ones work for YOU. ⁣
⁣
1. How to keep your berries fresh for up to 2 weeks! Add berries to a bowl, 1 cup vinegar, 3 cups cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse well, dry, then pop them in a container lined with paper towels, cover and store. Perfect for 2 weeks!⁣
2. How to store peeled garlic and keep it crisp! Peeled garlic is best used right away, but if you have extra, I’ve found that the best way to keep it fresh and crisp is to pop the cloves into a container filled with water, then cover and refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks.⁣
3. How to prevent sliced apples from browning for up to 5 days! Perfect if you like to meal prep and slice your apples for the week. Slice apples, place in a bowl with cold water and 1-2 teaspoons salt. Let soak for 5 minutes. Rinse, then store in a covered container & pop in the fridge. ⁣
4. How to keep lettuce fresh for up to 2 weeks! The key is to NOT wash the lettuce before storing it. Wrap in paper towels and then place in a plastic bag or a Stasher bag. Squeeze the air out, seal, and store. Wash the lettuce when you are ready to eat it.⁣
5. How to keep your herbs fresh for up to 1 month! I love this method for parsley, cilantro and any other herbs you love. Wash and trim the ends. Dry thoroughly. Pop them in a jar filled 1/2 way with water. You can pop them in the fridge like this (will last 1-2 weeks), but add a plastic bag or a Stasher bag on top and they will last for almost one month! ⁣
6. How to prevent your cucumbers from getting slimy! Pop them in a container, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (very little!), cover with cold water, cover and refrigerate. Perfect and crisp for up to 1 week.⁣
