Why You Should Keep Fruit In Mason Jars Instead Of The Containers They Come In…….
When you get your fruit home from the grocery store, the first thing you should do is remove it from the plastic containers they’ve come in and recycle them. Next, clean out your sink and fill it with water (you could also use a large bowl). Then, toss in a few tablespoons of distilled vinegar. You’ll then want to submerge your fruit in the water and let it soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of this is to get rid of any mold or bacteria on the fruit which is what causes them to go rotten more quickly.
Once the fruit has had a nice soak, remove it from the vinegar water, transfer to a strainer, and rinse with cool water. Leave the fruit out to dry on a tea towel or paper towel. Once dry, transfer the fruit to mason jars and seal up those lids. This is the best way to make your fruit last, particularly berries, which tend to be very prone to mold and bacteria buildup.
And that’s it! Incorporating these few extra steps into preparing and storing fruit can help you eliminate food waste, save money, and keep your fridge stocked with fresh produce for much longer.
helpful advice for people who don’t eat the entire kilo of raspberries on the ten minute walk back from the supermarket, yay!
reblogging here because i can see this being relevant to anyone who’s ever tried to get out of an abusive relationship
Reblogging because that last comment made me reread the whole thing in a new light and realize this could be vital information. So, putting it out there for everyone, and hoping no one ever really needs it.
i’m reading why does he do that and this last part has been ON FIRE, i am hollering in my house.
I had such a temper problem (one of many problems) when I was young. My teachers would tell my mother “your child was out of control” and my mother would tell them:
“Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that. He is responsible for his behavior. If he truly couldn’t control his behavior, he would need to be institutionalized, but that’s not what’s happening. Institutionalization isn’t what he needs. He needs to be held accountable for the acts he thinks his anger makes excusable. He’s not out of control, he’s not exercising his control appropriately - saying that he’s out of control lets him off the hook and teaches him the wrong thing”
Over hearing that was a powerful lesson for me, and one that stays with me 30 years later
No sleep. Mind racing. Thoughts of unworthiness and despair. Will it get done? How long before it’s due? What else could possibly go wrong? So much exhaustion. So much anxiety. Too much to function. Just need to escape this reality. Fiction anyone?
