I'm going to see if this works. I've taken two print screens of this article (Renew magazine No. 174) which tests products that are fabricated to keep produce fresh for longer in your fridge.

With the horrific destruction that is happening in the ME right now and the disruption to oil supplies, food is going to become more expensive so it makes sense not to have to throw it out because we let it wilt in the crisper. Even under normal circumstances, throwing food out is bad for the environment as well as our budget.

So, after rule number 1: Don't overbuy fresh produce, and rule no. 2: Grow what you can, if you can, and pick it fresh, keeping what you have stored fresher for longer makes sense.

Also share any edible excess with those who may be struggling financially.
