Many housewives, when they open the refrigerator, see wilted lettuce, wrinkled berries or a cucumber that is not the freshest.

It's a shame to throw away food, but not everyone knows what to do with it.

Sometimes tasty and healthy foods spoil faster than you can eat them.

However, even from this situation there is a simple way out. This is what our grandmothers did.

The secret is in the paper napkin

The journal "Food Science and Technology" writes that it is important to store food properly.

Only in this case they remain healthy and tasty longer.

You don't have to buy expensive equipment for storage. Sometimes the simplest solutions will help you cope with this task.

As you know, fruits and vegetables release moisture, which causes mold to appear.

The napkin absorbs excess water, so always place it at the bottom of the container and place the food on top.

Change the napkin every few days and you will see that the food stays fresh much longer.
