Five Tips to Make Groceries Stay Fresh Longer

If you are following the recommendation of Dr. Amy Acton and planning on getting groceries for the next couple of weeks, here are some tips on how to keep them fresher for longer...

1. Put a paper towel in with your lettuce or spinach. It absorbs the extra moisture and keeps greens from getting soggy and gross.

2. Re-wrap your block of cheese. 

3. Freeze leftover broth in ice cube trays. A lot of recipes only call for a little bit of chicken stock, so don't waste a whole bottle. Freeze the rest so it's easy to use later.

4. Store fresh herbs the way you store fresh flowers. Keep them upright in a glass with a little water in the bottom. It's the easiest way to lengthen their shelf life.

5. Dry your produce really well after you wash it. It's normally best to not wash it until right before you eat it. But you'll want to wash it immediately right now because of the virus. So just dry it well, or the extra moisture can make it rot faster.
