How should I store my food items to keep them fresh?

To keep your food fresh, it's important to store them at the right temperature and in the right containers. What specific food items are you asking about?

I'm mainly concerned about fruits and vegetables.

For fruits, store them in a cool, dry place. Some, like apples, can be refrigerated. Vegetables should be kept in the fridge, ideally in a crisper drawer. Do you have any specific fruits or vegetables in mind?

What about herbs? They tend to wilt quickly.

Herbs can be stored in a glass of water like a bouquet, or wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed in a plastic bag in the fridge. This helps keep them fresh longer!

Thanks! Any tips for storing leftovers?

Absolutely! Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate them within two hours of cooking. They can last 3-4 days in the fridge.
