Maximizing Freshness: How to Store Fruits and Vegetables Using Tupperware FridgeSmart Containers
When it comes to keeping your fruits and vegetables fresh for longer, the right storage method can make all the difference. One of the most effective tools for reducing food waste and extending produce life is the Tupperware FridgeSmart® Container. Designed with innovative features to help maintain optimal moisture and airflow, these containers are a game-changer for your kitchen.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how FridgeSmart containers work, tips for storing different types of produce, and why they’re a smart investment for every household.
FridgeSmart containers aren’t just plastic boxes—they’re engineered for freshness. Here’s how they stand out:
VentSmart™ Technology: The built-in three-way venting system regulates airflow to suit the specific needs of different fruits and vegetables. This feature helps control the ethylene gas buildup that can speed up ripening and spoilage.
Raised Ridges: The bottom ridges keep moisture away from the produce, preventing soggy spots and promoting airflow underneath.
Clear, Durable Design: Easily see what’s inside without opening the lid, and enjoy long-lasting performance with high-quality materials.
Proper use of your FridgeSmart containers can significantly extend the life of your produce. Here’s how to store common fruits and vegetables:
1. Leafy Greens (e.g., Lettuce, Spinach, Kale)
Vent Setting: Fully open
Tip: Remove any excess moisture with a paper towel before storing.
2. Berries (e.g., Strawberries, Blueberries)
Vent Setting: Fully closed
Tip: Store unwashed to prevent mold growth; rinse before use.
3. Carrots & Celery
Vent Setting: Half-open
Tip: Trim any leafy tops to prevent wilting and store upright if possible.
4. Broccoli & Cauliflower
Vent Setting: Half-open
Tip: Avoid washing before storage to reduce excess moisture.
5. Apples & Pears
