I put wilted, limp celery, peppers, cucumbers and carrots into a bowl of water and place in the fridge - this will rehydrate them and they'll be crispy again

Now that's a good one...I do put a damp paper towel on the root of it, after cutting off the brown edge and store that way...the plant will wick that moisture and stay crispy too.....

I always keep my bananas in the fridge in a plastic bag. My mother did this too.

Use them for banana bread or banana pudding.
