Enjoying fresh produce is essential to a
0:15
healthy, balanced diet, but all too
0:17
often we end up throwing out those
0:18
unused and spoiled veggies from the
0:20
fridge or those two brown bananas we
0:23
don't know what to do with. Hint, freeze
0:25
them for smoothies. We here at Comealong
0:27
have put together our list of the five
0:29
food hacks you won't believe you didn't
0:31
already know. Let's start the ride. One,
0:35
avoid soggy celery. Celery is often
0:38
banished to the crispier and left for
0:40
dead, but you can make it go the
0:42
distance with this all too easy hack.
0:45
Simply wrap the celery in foil and pop
0:47
it in the fridge. It will stay crispy
0:49
for much longer. Two, stop avocados from
0:52
going brown. As much as we'd love to eat
0:55
an entire avocado in one sitting, guilty
0:58
is charged. We know it's not the ideal
1:00
scenario. So, what can we do to keep
1:02
that cut portion of delicious creamy ao
1:04
fresh? Easy. Squeeze some lemon juice
1:07
over any exposed parts. This hack goes
1:10
for guacamole, too. Just squeeze a good
1:12
gug of lemon juice over guacamole. Then,
1:15
when it's time to serve, stir together.
1:17
Hey, presto. A zesty and just made it
1:20
fresh guacamole. Three. Say goodbye to
1:23
brown bananas. It seems like one day
1:26
that bunch of bananas in the fruit bowl
1:28
are just perfect. No longer green, but
1:30
firm and bright yellow. Then the next
1:32
day they've gone brown and have gone
1:34
soft. Here's an easy solution. Wrap the
1:37
stems in plastic wrap. This stops air
1:39
entering and ripening the banana. Four.
1:42
Make sure your tomatoes aren't bland.
1:45
There's not much that's better than a
1:46
fresh tomato sliced with a little salt
1:49
and pepper. Yum. Here's a sneaky hint.
1:52
Don't put tomatoes in the fridge. Store
1:54
them on the bench away from the sun and
1:56
you'll get the juiciest, tastiest tomato
1:58
in town. Five, stop potatoes from
2:02
sprouting. Potatoes are a great veg
2:04
because as a root vegetable, you can
2:06
store them for a lot longer than some of
2:08
their leafier counterparts. But we've
2:10
all reached for a potato only to find
2:12
they've sprouted. What to do? Store your
2:15
potatoes with an apple. Yep, an apple.
2:18
to keep them fresh and avoid sprouting.
