Katya Meckle, a wellness expert who runs a profile on TikTok, educates internet users about healthy eating and food management. Recently, she presented her viewers with exciting ways to store groceries. She pointed out that storing bread, bananas, berries, and lettuce can significantly extend their freshness. Moreover, these tasks are not time-consuming.

These simple tricks can extend the freshness of products

Meckle surprised internet users with simple yet effective methods to reduce food waste. She explained how to prevent products from spoiling quickly. Particularly interesting for viewers was a trick that kept bread from drying out or molding for three weeks. It requires straightforward action from us. Katya revealed that you need to put a stalk of celery in the bag with the bread.

Additionally, Katya showed how to store popular fruits. She recommends wrapping the top part of the bananas with aluminum foil. She stores carrots and green vegetables in a water container, ensuring they are well-cleaned beforehand, extending their shelf life.

Meckle uses the same containers to store berries. Before placing them in boxes, she washes the fruits in water with apple cider vinegar and waits for them to dry. She places a paper towel at the bottom.

Commenters appreciate the TikToker's ideas

TikTok users showered Katya with positive comments, thanking her for the food storage tips. They admitted they had not previously used similar methods and often wasted food in the trash. Now, they see the difference when they properly store products. Many people save a lot of money with these simple methods.

Some also shared their food storage tips. One user suggested storing bread in the freezer.

As the commenter noted, bread can last even a month this way. When she wants a slice, she takes it out the day before and thaws it.

On TikTok, you can find many exciting tips worth implementing. Importantly, they cover various fields, such as home maintenance, gardening, or daily simple tasks.
