Strawberries. IF you aren’t careful, strawberries can go bad fast. The best way to prevent this is to wash them as soon as you get them home. Wash them in a solution of 8 parts water to 1 part vinegar. This helps to kill the mold spores. After you wash them, rinse them well to make sure there is no vinegar on them and then dry them. Wash the container they came In and then dry it. Place a dry paper towel at the bottom of the container and replace the strawberries. Store them in the fridge.

Cilantro, tarragon and other herbs can really spice up the cooking, but if not stored properly, they go limp and dry out. Instead, store them in a cup of water and place them in the fridge. This will keep them fresh for days and days.

Asparagus will last the longest if you trim the edges before you put them away. Store them upright in a glass of water to keep them crispy the longest.

Avocados are best if stored at room temperature on the counter until they are ripe. If they are ripe, but you aren’t ready to eat them yet, go ahead and store them in the fridge. If you have half an avocado, sprinkle it with lemon juice and store it with the pit in, to prevent oxidation and to keep it fresher longer.

Bell peppers. Store them in the fridge unwashed. Residual moisture can make bell peppers prematurely. They are best to wash right before use.

Celery should be stored in the fridge but don’t store them in the plastic wrap. This traps ethylene gasses making them go bad faster. To keep them longer, wrap them in foil and put them in the crispy drawer of your fridge.

Cucumbers are sensitive to cold, and temperatures lower than 50 degrees can damage the vegetable. Unlike most other vegetables, cucumbers are one of the few that last longer at room temperature.

Carrots store well on the counter but store even longer in the fridge. Precut carrots can be stored in their bag. To keep them crispier longer, store them in a little water.

Oranges are often stored on the counter, and they will last up to a week at room temperate. But they will last up to several weeks in the fridge.
