This is what my mom do in her Asian kitchen. She washes all her veggies and let it dry in a straining bowl. They'll sit there on her countertop for several hours until all the moisture has drained from the bottom and evaporated then she bags them up and put them in the fridge. Try to get all the moisture out that is the secret! I do this in my own home and the veggies last for weeks!
Wow! Awesome tip!👍👋
I love this woman and have followed her since I was young She feels warm and her words make you feel affectionate She seems to be a very calm woman who loves simple life❤
This woman is gold!
I've kept lettuce longer than a week, by storing in a gallon size storage bag and just wash it as I use it. I can only shop once a month. That means I don't get to eat salad through the entire month. Most of my veggies I freeze to keep them from going bad. I wash, drain, cut up, spread it on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then place it in a gallon freezer bag, getting as much air out as possible. This method allows me to store more in one bag and take out just what I'll use. Being single doesn't mean I can't buy large quantities, it's all in the way it's stored. I'll freeze berries, grapes and sliced bananas too. Freezing bananas is a bit trickier. I learned the best way is line the cookie sheet with 2 layers of wax paper. Freeze an hour, turn the bananas on to the bottom sheet of wp and freeze 2 more hours. Frozen berries, bananas, grapes make a great snack. Just pop it in your mouth and it will soften up. Yummy! I have froze fresh pineapple slices, but that needs to be in separate bags.
I never was instructed in anyway on how to cook or clean unless I was around my grandmother. I caught what I could and built on that. Until Martha came along, I was on my own. Martha, Your the cooking mom I always wished I had!!! I’m nuts about all your schoolbooks and home / kitchen tools. Thank you for teaching me what I need to know!
They are the best looking vegetables I have ever seen. I think our stores get the leftovers.
Love it Martha!!!
Martha You are smooth!!
thank you Martha
Love those cabinets in the background. My style.
Martha is nice too.
That's awesome!
Your valuable Marth 💙
Those carrots 🥕 look gorgeous!
I store the lettuce in large, clear plastic, shoe boxes with paper towels on the bottom and top. Keeps very well. Make sure to wash well before first use and each subsequent use.
Wrap clean cut celery in foil. It'll last a week and keeps it crisp!
Hi Martha's team...Instead of paper towel, can tea towels be used as an alternative? Thank you!🙏😊
Absolutely. I use those to save money and recycle.
where can you get those baskets she's using for the onions and potatoes?
Tupperware for lettuce that's clean and dry, will last over a week!!
I started putting my greens in Tupperware too.
Wash, shredded greens to preferred size, vacuum sealed in mason jars and refrigerated will last over a week
The produce managers know certain tricks too. If it is not kept chilled in the produce dept, you can store it some place cool and dark in your home. Refrigeration will not be necessary. Many vegetables will keep a week longer if you store them IN THE GROWTH POSITION. This means celery, cauliflower, green onions, broccoli, baby carrots, (asparagus- stood in a bit of cold water) are far less likely to over-ripen, to go slimy or develop black spots when stored in an upright position. I buy bulk packs of romaine, wash the outer 4 leaves well, rinse the core leaves by swishing them -head first, through a sink full of warm water , and drain in dishrack. The cores are then wrapped with paper toweling between, the outer leaves are wrapped in loose bundles with paper towel, and used first. Either type goes into a plastic bag-either with holes, or a loosely closed top. I can only shop every 3 weeks, so having produce over the entire stretch matters to me. I do wash mushrooms-drain them dry in a dishrack, line a plastic bag with paper towel and drop them in with the top folded loosely. I have them stay quite fresh for up to 2 weeks, (often-with larger ones, there is no separation of the inside base tissue from the stem). Cellophane is actually made from wood, and is your friend- cellophane packaging seems to keep essential oils in (ie: spice flavors) but maintains the right ration of water in some produce, so hang on to the bell pepper bag or the cauliflower wrapper-it is made of cellophane for a reason.
i put my potatoes, uncovered, inside the refrigerator and lasted for over a month in very good condition.
Lettuce, leave it dry and put it into newspaper or brown bag - it will stay a full week.
plzz make basket all steps plzz
I like Natural Grocers so I get organic food.
She buys her groceries on the way home that girl shops once a week. I legit shop like once every 3- weeks it saves time tbh but I’m not sure why I wouldn’t. $300ish in groceries basically last all month. (Fruits however then yeah I may buy them more sense they tend to spoil really quickly)
How long keep potatoes out before they sprout
"stop off on the way home like the French ladies do"... Hate to break this to you Martha but the French pretty much invented the hypermarket and generally shop once or twice a week. French ladies these days have jobs and don't have time to go shopping every day and prepare meals from scratch :D
She says potatoes should be stored in the dark, but then she keeps then on the counter that would not be dark. Which is it?
Deborah OReilly-Christensen completely dark is not a must but darker the better... avoid direct sunlight obviously. if u want to store for a longer period, go darker. im pretty sure martha tries to go thru her potatoes and onions on the faster side, so storing in a less darker spot is sufficient for her use pattern. and as she said, keeping them on the counter for her keeps them visible and helps them get used faster
Root cellars used to keep "root" vegetables through the winter were dug into the ground where they are dark and the temperature stays around 56 degrees all year round. Potatoes buried in the ground (dark) over the winter (cool) won't germinate until the temperatures get warm enough. Potatoes out of direct sunlight will still turn green from the ambient light. The darker the better and the longer the potatoes will keep! Also no moisture to keep them from molding.
What causes potatoes to wrinkle?
Martha has been doing TikTok shorts 9 years ago
Mushrooms should be kept in a dark cool place
Not the open shelves, the lower ones.
My question is storage of potatoes, onions, tomatoes & avacado
Tomatoes away from light. Avocado can dry out in fridge so just eat it when ripe and that would be better
Sorry, a lot of advise us not really that good. Potatoes and onions should not be stored near each other and should be kept in a cool location. The potatoes should be out of any light source. And it's easy to keep fresh greens for a long time if kept cool and no excessive moisture. Carrots are best keep cool, slightly most and out of the light, as if they were still in the ground.
Again I get beautiful images but NO SOUND except for a loud music at the start of of the program. That is not the first time. Its a waste of my time. Unsubscribe me.
