Store green coriander like this
Green coriander withers quickly, but this method can keep it fresh for about a month. Cut the coriander stalks lightly from the bottom and leave the leaves. Take some water in a glass or jar and keep the coriander stalks immersed in the water, just like flowers. Keep this glass or jar inside the fridge. Changing the water every two days will prevent bacteria from growing and coriander will remain fresh for a long time .
How to keep apples in a potato patch
Potatoes often sprout, which causes them to spoil. In such a situation, apples can help you. Place one or two apples in the pile of potatoes. Apples release ethylene gas, which slows down the process of sprouting in potatoes. Keep in mind that potatoes should be kept in a cool, dry and dark place. Such as in a pantry or cabinet. But do not make the mistake of keeping potatoes in the fridge .
Keep lemon fresh for 1-2 months
Lemons dry out quickly and become hard. It is not difficult to keep them juicy and fresh for 1-2 months. Take an airtight container and fill it with water, completely submerge the lemons in this water. Now keep it inside the refrigerator. Do not forget to change the water every day, this will ensure that the lemons stay in clean water and retain their freshness for a long time.
Keep green chillies fresh for 1-2 months
Green chillies are often stored with the stalk, due to which they get spoiled quickly. However, the stalk should be removed from the top of the green chilli first. Because moisture and bacteria enter through the stalk, which causes the chilli to get spoiled quickly. Now keep the green chilli in an airtight container. Spread a clean kitchen towel or tissue paper at the bottom of the container. This will absorb the excess moisture, so that the chilli will remain dry and fresh.
Malvika's easy ways
Keep tomatoes oiled
This is a unique and effective way to keep tomatoes . Apply a little cooking oil on the top of each tomato. A thin layer of oil seals the part of the tomato where moisture loss occurs and air enters. Due to which tomatoes spoil quickly, after applying oil, keep the tomatoes inside the refrigerator.
