Onions
To protect onions from germination or mold, you should always store it in a dry, cool and dark place. Store it in open boxes instead of bags to avoid retaining moisture. You should also pay attention to the different types of onions: red onions spoil faster and can be stored in the refrigerator. Garlic can be stored for up to several weeks, and brown onions can last up to six months.
Cheese
The cheese should always be stored in the refrigerator. It should be in a cool place, but should not be frozen or kept at too low a temperature. The optimum storage temperature for the cheese is 4 ° C. Any temperature close to freezing will destroy its structure, especially when it comes to fresh soft cheeses.
Make sure you do not pack the cheese too tightly to allow the moisture to evaporate and prevent mold. For cheeses such as feta and mozzarella, make sure they are stored in sufficient brine. This will protect them from the growth of yeast or bacteria.
Bread
If you have a small household or just don't have a lot of bread, you may find that you throw away almost whole loaves of bread every week. The shelf life of bread depends on the type you buy. In general, types of white bread tend to spoil much faster than wholemeal breads.
Bread is best stored at room temperature except in hot and humid weather, when it is better to store it in the refrigerator to prevent mold. To keep bread out of the humid air in your refrigerator, pack it well in a tightly closed box.
If you know that you will not eat your bread for a few days, you can safely put it in the freezer.
Old bread
If you haven't been able to read our bread storage tips before and your bread is no longer soft and fresh, don't panic! Now you have the opportunity to make homemade croutons to throw in the soup or salad. Just cut the bread into slices and rub each slice with a clove of garlic. Then cut the bread into small cubes. Sprinkle lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and your favorite spices. Bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
Bananas
Separate the bananas from the pile to prevent them from ripening too quickly. Do not store them in the refrigerator, as this can speed up their maturation and turn them brown much faster. To prolong the life of your bananas, wrap the stems with an adhesive wrap (aluminum foil, stretch foil). But if it's too late, you can always use browned bananas to make smoothies or bake banana muffins from them.
Sauces, broths and fresh herbs
If you have an excess of sauces, homemade broths or fresh herbs, do not hesitate to freeze them. One way to do this is to use ice cube trays (for herbs, distribute in the tins and pour olive oil over them before freezing).
Freezing food
Fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, soups and other perishable products can be safely stored in the freezer. Just make sure they are wrapped carefully and tightly to avoid exposing them to the air as much as possible!
Own compost
If all else fails, you can always use the rest of the food waste to make your own compost. You can compost everything from banana peels to eggshells, which can later be used as natural fertilizer for your own garden.
