2 Clever Ways to Store Fruit

Smart storage ideas for fruit.

Colanders
Do your berries and grapes get moldy before you've had a chance to enjoy their sweet taste? To keep them fresher longer, store them in a colander, not a closed plastic container, in the refrigerator. The cold air will circulate through the holes in the colander, keeping them fresh for days.

Jar Lids
Got half a peach, apple, or orange you'd like to save for later? Wrap a jar lid in plastic wrap or wax paper and then set the fruit cut side down on it in the refrigerator. A bit of lemon juice on the cut surface of the fruit will help prevent discoloration. And why throw out the contents of a partially consumed glass of milk or juice? Just cover it with a lid and refrigerate to keep it fresh.
