I buy A LOT of fresh produce and I don’t like throwing food away so I did a little research and found a website that explains how to keep foods fresh longer! There’s even an app for it now! It’s called Still Tasty and it’s something I use often.

For example: I received a bunch of basil in my CSA box today and I am unable to use it right away so I want to check and see the best way to store it. I enter “basil” into my app (you can do this on their site as well) and it explains how to trim the ends, place in a glass with a little bit of water and cover it with a bag. It says not to refrigerate or it will turn black. Perfect!

I’ve learned a ton about how to store food this way, I highly recommend this site as an everyday reference. You can look up almost any type of food too!
