Good reads for summer
I have to every so often put something on our blog, that you may come to see what we got today, enjoy…
1) Protect potatoes
Apples emit ethylene gas as they
ripen, gas can cause some fruits & vegetables to ripen fast, studies
show that it has opposite effect on the starch in potatoes: it delays
them from sprouting. Just store your potatoes with an a apple in a cool
dark place and your potatoes will lost much longer.
2) Mold-proof cheese
Just
dampen a paper towel with 3 Tbs. vinegar and place it at the bottom of a
plastic container. Then place cheese sealed in a plastic bag, so it
doesn’t soak up the vinegary test. To boost the mold-defying benefits,
before you shut the container’s lid, add four sugar cubes to attract any
mold that does form, the sugar cubes act like a decoy.
Washing berries in a solution of thee parts water to one part vinegar also keeps them fresher longer.
3) Keep cucumbers crisp
Cucumbers should be stored at room
temperature not in your fridge, cucumbers stored for more then three
days at 10° C or below come down with “cold injury” – wateriness and
pitting that leads them to spoil faster.
4) How to keep onions fresh longer
Take an old, clean pair of
pantyhose and drop your onions in the legs, twisting off between each
onion. Then hang your onion-hose in a cool, dry place . The nylon mesh
protects the onions from moisture and allows air to circulate around
them, inhibiting sprouting and mold growth.
