Reflection QuestionStorage Learn About Food StorageDid you find that you were storing food incorrectly? Which items have you changed?
Abby Harthorn 10/14/2021 7:45 PMI didn't know you shouldn't store basil in the fridge. I've since changed that. I've also started putting my carrots and kale in glasses of water in the fridge.
