This week haul!
I went shopping late last night and wasn't up to juicing. So I cleaned and stored the food for juicing today. (Video will be uploaded to my TikTok). I wanted to give some storage advice.
1. Root Veggies: celery, carrots, ginger, etc.
Glass containers with cold water. ( I change the water daily or every other day) You can keep Cleaned garlic or ginger in Alcohol and it will last for years. I've had a jar in my fridge for at least 2 years. It's for emergencies really. I go through them so fast fresh, I'm always buying tons.
Unused Raw Ginger or garlic I keep on my fruit and veggie stand.
2. Fruit: Again most likely glass containers. I don't add water to them and I always have paper towels on top and bottom of the glass.
3. Peppers and Cucumbers: they like plastic really. So i just use glass and add paper towels. I used to use zip lock bags that is a great option.
4. Citrus fruit and Melons: for me i like these out of the fridge. I prefer a room temperature fruit than a cold one. I do keep apples in a bowl in fridge or sometimes a paper bag outside the fridge on my fruit and veggie stand. I usually juice apples so they aren't stored long. Once cut i think fruit is best kept in glass well drained and dried.
5. Mushrooms and onions: I buy those plastic shape keepers and just use those. They work really well. However I only store red onions in the fridge after it's been cut. Raw uncut onions outside on my veggie stand. The mushroom holder is in the photo. I use that for the bulk mushroom I buy. The Asian style usually comes wrapped I just leave them as is. Or open and cover with paper towel.
6. Potatoes: Kept out on my Fruit and Veggie stand.
7. Avocado: I store out on veggie stand until ripe. Then I cut open and put in glass jar with ice cold water. I change daily this will keep for 3-5 days.
8. Fruit juice and Smoothies: I use glass for both and keep in fridge. I strain out my pulp a lot. 4 times. So my juice last 4-5 days. I've been juicing for awhile this is what works for me. Smoothies 48 hours max for me because of the protein powder and Sea Moss gel etc that I add in those.
Later Today I'll chop and juice. Alaska timezone is the last one so it will evening my time.
