Jihyun Ryou's "Save Food from the Fridge" Project!

 

Shaping Traditional Oral Knowledge

Storing root vegetables vertically keeps them fresher longer. The glass funnel is used to add water to keep the sand moist.

I just found this great video on ways to store your fresh produce without using the big electricity-sucking coffin called 'The Fridge'. Take a minute to take a look- it makes perfect sense! Your fruits and veggies don't grow in refrigerator conditions, so how could they need the refrigerator to keep them fresh?
Jihyun Ryou kindly shares traditional knowledge (you know, the stuff your grandparents told your parents, but your parents thoroughly ignored) about food storage.

Try this and enjoy fresher-tasting foodstuffs without the huge electric bill!

The ethylene gas produced by apples makes other fruits ripen, but keeps potatoes from sprouting. Storing apples separately from other produce prevents your other fruits and veggies from over-ripening as quickly!

Fruit vegetables like zucchini, eggplant,  peppers and cucumbers can be stored outside the fridge, placed above a tray of water! A few grains of rice can be added to spices to absorb water so they don't get all clumpy.

Nope, your eggs don't need refrigeration, either...think about it. Chickens don't live in a fridge! A fresh egg will sink to the bottom of the water in the glass, remaining horizontal, but a stank egg will float.
