10 Tips to Make Your Food Last Longer

Turn cottage cheese and sour cream upside down.

Turning the sour cream and cottage cheese tubs upside down will create a vacuum inside the container, which will prevent bacteria from growing inside. This means that these items can last up to two times their use-by date.

Store onions in a glass of water.

Onions can be kept fresh for a longer period of time by being placed inside water. Just put them in a jar filled with clean water, and they will keep growing. You can shear them whenever you need to use them.

Salads in a jar isn’t just a fad.

Glass jars are the best containers to use for making sure that herbs and fresh greens like garlic, parsley, and onion retain their flavour and don’t spoil. They can last up to a month when stored in this way.

Store honey in glass jar.

Honey has natural properties in it that act as a preservative, so it is automatically inclined to last for a long time. However, this process can be disturbed if it is not stored properly. The most suitable container is a dark-colored glass container with an airtight lid. Do not store them in jars made of metal, chipped enamel or jars with lids made or zinc as these can cause the honey to oxidize and spoil.
