Food for thought (and consumption)

One way to preserve your fruits/vegetables in the refrigerator longer is to store them in a cloth bag instead of a sealed plastic bag. They can be used dry for purchasing your items at the store or market and for storing dry fruits, like apples, and you can store misted vegetables, like greens, placed in the dry bag in your refrigerator crisper drawer. Some organic cloth bags from Amazon available here: http://amzn.to/16nrv8n
