Different produce requires different storage methods. Most leafy greens do best wrapped in slightly damp paper towels inside a partially open bag. Root vegetables keep longer in cool, dark places. Most berries should be stored unwashed and used within a few days.
Spring: Asparagus, peas, and strawberries. Summer: Tomatoes, corn, and stone fruits. Fall: Squash, apples, and pears. Winter: Root vegetables, citrus, and hearty greens. Create seasonal menus by combining produce that grows together naturally.
