Fresh Ideas For Storing Produce

Fresh Produce is the best! If your household likes to cook, you need to keep a good supply of fresh vegetables and fruits on hand.

A sophisticated pantry system is a pantry that has as many storage compartments, shelves, and bins as you can fill up with food it can hold and keep fresh. Great for the home chef but also good for keeping things organized for the homeowner.

But you don’t need a sophisticated pantry system to efficiently store produce. There are available inexpensive and nifty storage alternatives we prepared for you.

Baskets On Walls

To keep fruit and vegetables fresh for a longer period of time, remove them from plastic bags and keep them in a dry, well-ventilated, and preferably dark area.

Exposure to sunlight can cause produce to deteriorate. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be kept in cool, dark places with plenty of air circulation.

Good air circulation is another way to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for a longer period of time. Good air circulation also helps against pests and diseases, among other things.

These stackable shelves allow you to store a wide variety of produce in readily accessible places. And because they don’t take up a lot of space, you can move them easily when you need to.

Open Weave Baskets On Drawers

Open weave baskets are popular amongst many in the country today to store produce. These baskets are ideal to store many of the fruits and vegetables we need in our pantries.

The one drawback is that they aren’t very durable in terms of the general wear and tear that they tend to receive. When storing seasonal produce, you will want something a little more solid.

But there are open weave plastic baskets that are available in several sizes and can be used to store produce and fruit away from sunlight and rodents.

These baskets are very durable and are of superior quality. We even sell a variety of additional drawers and shelves to help make your storage problems disappear.
