For some people, storing food in the fridge is a piece of cake because, basically, there is no order other than "where it fits." And we regret to tell you that it is a big mistake. Nothing more harmful to your purchase than to save it in any way, without paying attention to the type of food it is and the needs it requires.
So, when it comes to storing fruits and vegetables, take care of where to store them, how and how long they will last. Your purchases will be much more efficient and your fridge will never give off bad smells.
Here are a series of tips for the most common:
Bananas and bananas
Store them on the top counter, unwrapped (outside bags). They last about three days once they are ripe, so keep that in mind. If you've eaten only half a banana, cover the rest with a piece of foil. It can last like this up to 3 weeks.
