1. Don't let moisture sit on your vegetables
Excess moisture can make freshly washed fruits and vegetables harder to keep neatly stored. A simple way to manage this is with a drainage container such as the Double-Layer Drainage Basket Fresh-Keeping Storage Box, which combines washing, draining and storage in one design.
The inner basket lets excess water drain away from the produce, while the outer container keeps everything contained and organised. It is also washable, making it practical for regular use in the kitchen.

2. Give bananas their own space
Bananas tend to ripen faster when their stems are left exposed, so covering the stems can be a simple way to slow the process down. A reusable banana hanger or wrap can help keep the stems covered while also keeping the fruit from getting squashed on the kitchen counter.
For an added storage upgrade, try the Wooden Banana Rack, which gives bananas a dedicated hanging spot instead of leaving them in a fruit bowl or piled with other produce. It can also help keep the fruit organised and within easy reach.

3. Stop berries from turning mouldy
Once a packet or container of food is opened, keeping it properly sealed can help keep the contents protected and organised in the fridge. Reusable silicone food bags are a practical option, with a pinch-press seal for closing snacks, leftovers, fruits and vegetables.
The VBESTLIFE Silicone Food Bag Ziplock Fresh Sealed Bags are made from food-grade silicone and come in different sizes for everyday storage. Larger bags can be used for meats and leftovers, while medium-sized ones are useful for snacks and packed lunches.

4. Remove excess air to help food stay fresh
Removing excess air before storing food can help keep meat, vegetables, and cooked food better protected in the fridge or freezer. The MLADEN Heavy Duty Vacuum Sealer Machine has a built in cutter that makes sealing and packing food convenient.
The bags are made from food-grade material and are washable and reusable, with three sizes for different amounts of food. The airtight seal is also designed to help prevent leaks and reduce exposure to freezer air and odours.

5. Keep leftovers fresh without wasting cling film
Instead of leaving leftover food uncovered in bowls, use a stretchy cover to create a seal and keep it better protected in the fridge. The HealthGuru Silicone Food Cover set comes in six sizes, with flexible silicone that can stretch to fit different bowls and containers.
The reusable covers are heat-resistant up to 230°C and cold-resistant down to -40°C, so they can be used in the fridge, microwave or oven according to the stated temperature limits. They are also washable and designed for repeated use, making them a practical alternative to single-use food covers.
