Avoiding food waste is more important than ever—not only for the environment but also for your budget. While throwing away food is widely frowned upon, improper storage methods are often to blame. Below are five common foods you may not be storing correctly, along with practical tips to make them last longer.
1. Cheese
Storing cheese in cling film may seem convenient, but it’s actually not ideal. The plastic wrap traps moisture and restricts airflow, which can cause mold or dryness.
Better method: Wrap cheese in baking paper to allow it to breathe. Store it on the top shelf of the fridge for up to 7 days.
2. Bananas
Refrigerating bananas causes them to ripen faster.
Better method: Keep them at room temperature and wrap the stem in cling film. This slows down the release of ethylene gas and delays ripening.
3. Celery and Carrots
