Tips and Tricks
Capsicums are best stored unwrapped in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. Red and yellow capsicums keep for up to five days but green ones will last about a week.
Store mushrooms unwashed in a brown paper bag – the bag absorbs excess moisture and prevents the mushrooms from going soggy or mouldy.
Store any leftover coriander in your fridge by popping the stems into a cup of water and covering with a plastic bag. Change the water every two days to prevent mildew and decay and refresh if needed by submerging in ice-cold water for 10-15 minutes.
