Apples

• Once cut, place them in a bowl of cold water or sprinkle with orange or lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
• Apples give off a gas that causes other vegetables to ripen, so store separately.

Carrots

• Wait to wash carrots until just before you're ready to use them.
• Keep carrots from developing a bitter flavor by storing away from apples, avocados and bananas.

Onions

• Refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting to reduce crying/tears.
• Rub your hands with lemon juice or salt to remove the onion smell.

Oranges

• Give canned or bottled orange juice a fresh flavor by adding fresh squeezed orange juice.
• Grated orange skin (zest) is a great way to add a little zing to baked chicken or muffins.

Potatoes

• Potatoes can usually be stored up to 30 days when kept in a cool, dark place.
• Don't freeze or refrigerate uncooked potatoes.
