Why You Should Keep Fruit In Mason Jars Instead Of The Containers They Come In…….
When you get your fruit home from the grocery store, the first thing you should do is remove it from the plastic containers they’ve come in and recycle them. Next, clean out your sink and fill it with water (you could also use a large bowl). Then, toss in a few tablespoons of distilled vinegar. You’ll then want to submerge your fruit in the water and let it soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of this is to get rid of any mold or bacteria on the fruit which is what causes them to go rotten more quickly.
Once the fruit has had a nice soak, remove it from the vinegar water, transfer to a strainer, and rinse with cool water. Leave the fruit out to dry on a tea towel or paper towel. Once dry, transfer the fruit to mason jars and seal up those lids. This is the best way to make your fruit last, particularly berries, which tend to be very prone to mold and bacteria buildup.
And that’s it! Incorporating these few extra steps into preparing and storing fruit can help you eliminate food waste, save money, and keep your fridge stocked with fresh produce for much longer.
helpful advice for people who don’t eat the entire kilo of raspberries on the ten minute walk back from the supermarket, yay!
I saw this post a couple months ago and tried it, and it is amazing how much longer I can keep berries now. Plus they look so pretty in the fridge!

Director: get some really alien looking fruits or whatever
Set dresser: say no more…
The set dressers also used Kiwano melons.
can you imagine being a set designer having the opportunity to get paid or pay someone to design alien plantlife but instead you just decide to pass off normal fruit from other cultures as “alien”
I’ve decided in the context of the story, the aliens have very politely provided Bruce Banner with “normal earth fruit" unaware that this fruit is not common across all cultures. Banner in turn assumes it is an alien cultivar, leading to a hilarious misunderstanding when he later returns to earth and eventually visits an international grocery store
Could have put some guaraná fruits there… look at this cluster of eyes 👀
Fruit salad trees, developed by an Australian family in the early 1990s, are capable of bearing many different types of fruit on them at the same time - including apples, oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots.
