We all know the defeating feeling of slicing into a brown avocado. Perhaps it was tucked into the back of your pantry or hidden under your apples and bananas. Don't repeat this scenario, and instead, heed our trick to not letting your produce go to waste: keep it on display.
Having a way to display your fruit that’s both pretty and organized puts it front and center, ensuring you use all produce at its prime. Since there are so many fruits that are best not refrigerated—plums, peaches, pineapples, avocados, bananas, and citrus, just to name a few—proper storage is key to savoring fruits at their best and keeping an organized kitchen.
That’s why we shopped for stylish ways to display fresh produce in your home. May you never let an avocado go mushy again.
