Genius Hacks To Make Your Food Last Longer

Tomatoes + stalks up or down

Keep unripe tomatoes with their stalks down in a paper bag or in a single layer in a box stored in a cool place until they’re red. If there’s fruit nearby, ethylene will quicken the ripening. Ripe tomatoes should be stored at room temperature with their stalks looking up, preferably without the tomatoes touching each other.
