What are the best ways to store your food to stop it decomposing?
Storing your food in the right way can help it stay fresh for longer. A few of our top tips would be that, your freezer can act as a very handy pause button if you think you may not use something in time. Keep your fruit in the fridge in its original packaging or a loosely tied bag to help it to last up to two weeks longer (except pineapples and bananas). Once opened, food like cheese and ham keep better if they’re well wrapped by re-closing the pack, wrapping in cling film or foil, or putting it in an air tight container. Make the most of your food by cooling leftovers as quickly as possible after cooking and storing them in the fridge. You can safely eat these leftovers within two days or freeze them for an even later date.
