How can I extend the shelf life of my food?

There are several methods to extend food shelf life, such as proper storage, freezing, and using preservatives. What specific food items are you concerned about?

I'm mainly worried about fruits and vegetables.

For fruits and vegetables, you can store them in a cool, dry place, and consider using airtight containers. Some fruits, like apples, can also be refrigerated to last longer.

What about canned goods? How long do they last?

Canned goods can last for years if stored properly. Check for any dents or rust on the cans, and keep them in a cool, dark place.

Are there any natural preservatives I can use?

Yes! Natural preservatives like vinegar, salt, and sugar can help extend the shelf life of various foods. For example, pickling vegetables in vinegar can preserve them for months.
