SUMMARIES:
- Dried ground spices will lose their flavor over time too, especially when exposed to light, air, and heat. It’s best to keep them in a dry, dark cupboard.
- What most of us don’t know is that tomatoes are not meant to be refrigerated.
- Leave the entire head of garlic together and keep skins on the onions.
- Potatoes and root vegetables such as beets, turnips, rutabagas, and even ginger are best kept in a cool dark pantry and not the fridge.
- Nuts tend to take on the smell of items situated near and around them, so never store them in the bottom of your pantry with onions.
- Exposure to heat will turn any oil rancid and bitter at a faster rate.
- According to the Vermont Maple Sugar Maker’s Association, pure maple syrup which is free of preservatives can be stored safely in your pantry as long as the bottle or can has not been opened.
- Avoid keeping raw meat or defrosting meats on the top shelf of your refrigerator or on the counter.
- Mangoes and avocados do not need to be refrigerated? The best way to store them is on the counter at room temperature, along with bananas which darken in the fridge. Lemons, limes, and oranges do better at room temp as well.
- If you purchase coffee beans in bulk at the local Costco you can store small portions in an airtight canister in the pantry and the rest can go in the freezer for 1 month only. Never refrigerate tea of any type since it has been dried to obtain maximum flavors, and refrigeration makes it wet and moldy.
