We’ve Been Storing Food Wrong

I came across an article on The Huffington Post's Flipboard.  The title of the piece caught my attention "The 14 Foods You've Been Storing All Wrong". I learned a little something today.

Caroline Kaufman, RDN is a writer for Huffington Post Taste. She says we throw away more than 20 pounds of food per person per month!

Check out these 8 tips and read the full article for specifics. Maybe it will cut down on waste!

1. Store nuts in the refrigerator.
2. Keep eggs on the middle shelf. Door temp fluctuates too much.
3. Whole Wheat Flour goes in the Freezer
4. Potatoes should be stored in the pantry
5. Tomatoes should be left out on the counter
6. Red and Yellow onions go in the pantry too
7. Cucumbers stay on the Counter
8. Garlic bulbs should be stored on the counter or in the pantry(short term)
