Store it right

Storing food the right way is one of the best ways to help food last longer and taste better. Not sure where to store your bread or your beans? These are our top tips:   

• Keep cool, dark and dry – bread, onions, potatoes, mushrooms (keep onions separate from other food)    

• Keep in the fridge – vegetables (including potatoes), fruit, eggs, leftover meals, dairy, meat, gravy    

• Use your freezer – it’s like a pause button for everything from slices of bread to cartons of milk and much more  

• Check the fridge forecast - make sure that your fridge is at the right temp to get the most of your food. Set it to below 5°C and above 3°C.
