Five Simple Food Storage Hacks to Keep Your Produce Fresh Longer
In an effort to combat food waste and maximize grocery budgets, a recent online video from content creator SpicyMoustache has garnered significant attention for its simple yet effective food storage hacks. The video, uploaded on June 13, 2025, demonstrates five key methods to extend the freshness of various produce items. Among the tips shared, the creator advises keeping stem vegetables such as asparagus, celery, and spring onions standing in an inch or two of water, with the water changed every couple of days to maintain crispness. For berries, a quick wash in water with a splash of vinegar, followed by gentle drying and storage in an airtight container, is recommended to prolong their life up to two weeks. Herbs, often quick to wilt, can be kept fresh by wrapping them in a damp towel and placing them in a sealed container, potentially lasting up to a month. Root vegetables like carrots and parsnips are shown to stay crisp when chopped into chunks, covered with water in a jar, and refrigerated. Finally, leafy greens benefit from being stored with a dry paper towel to absorb excess moisture, helping them remain crunchy. The video also includes a bonus tip on fridge organization, suggesting placing older produce at the front for earlier consumption. These practical strategies aim to help consumers keep their refrigerators stocked with fresh ingredients while minimizing waste.
