Learned something new!!!
 

..to me anyway, so I thought I would share in case someone else can use this hint. First, a few weeks ago at the grocery store, produce isle, I was buying some avocadoes on sale.....just daughter and I now, so no big meals...and I mentioned how these won't hold up.......a lady overheArd my comment and told me if I put any fresh produce into plastic bag, remove as much air as possible and put in refrigerator, it will prolong the freshness of same. So I bought, put in plastic, and refrigerated 2 of the 4 avocadoes I bought that day......turn the page....during this last week (about 10 days in bag) I pulled them out..beautiful, firm and tasty. On that same shopping trip I bought a cluster (5) of bananas. Did the same thing. Totally forgot about them until this morning...decided I wanted cereal and remembered those nanas......the skins were the darkest brown/ black, but the fruit was as firm and fresh as if just picked! So another new thing.......now every fruit/veg I buy will be plastic bagged before refrigeration..

That is great. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the tip

That is interesting. There use to be that lady that sold green plastic baggies but I guess you can get the same results with just normal baggies. Thanks for the post.

I was told never to put bananas in the fridge. I never knew why not.

good tip , thanks

Actually, if you put your produce wrapped in aluminum foil, will work much longer. I have cabbage and lettuce wrapped in aluminum foil in the refrigerator, over a month old. They are not wilted or discolored.

Aluminum foil works well for celery also!

Thank you for these practical tips!! I probably throw out more bananas than we eat due to them ripening too much to be desirable - mouth feel.

Thanks for the tip!
