04 Aug Tip 7- Don’t Waste Your Money On Fruit

Here’s what I mean, don’t waste your money by not storing it properly.

This is the season for stone fruits: Apricots, peaches, plums and nectarines. They need to be consumed quickly before they go bad. Stone fruits ripen from the bottom up to the stem. If you store them stem up (bottom down) the bottom of the fruit will get mushy and flat. So store them stem down to maintain freshness.

Today’s tip: Buy your fruit at your local Farmer’s market. If the weather is really hot, move them to your fridge to make them last longer.
