My ketchups, mustards, pickles, hot sauces, etc I keep in the cupboard. Anything that's tomato based or has vinegar in its ingredients. Anything that's acidity, doesn't need to be refrigerated. I've never had any problems with these products being stored in the cupboard. And also, I love watching all your videos. Your cleaning hacks, storage ideas, etc. They are all amazing! Thank you.

I keep my condiments in the Fridge to save space in my small kitchen. I recently had to move my honey, syrups from the pantry to the Fridge, due to having a problem with sugar ants this past summer living in OC, So. California. Now that Fall is approaching, I am loving the cool weather and the ants are now gone. Looking forward to learning more tips from you!

Sweden, I keep ketchup etc in the fridge as... Well, my parents did it and I like my sauces cold and not varmxP As for tomatos, Ive heard that if have "matured" they go into the fridge but if they haven't are still greenish, counter. Otherwise they won't "mature"

@humptydumpty9994 6 лет назад

I always heard that tomatoes lose their flavor if refrigerated, so I keep them out on counter. Homegrown are really the only ones that have a taste anyway. Store bought ones are blah! But, I have no choice most of year as I live in a 4 season state. Although, I would prefer them cold as I like to sometimes just eat them by slicing them and eating them by themselves. Perhaps, you could find out for us if refrigerating them just for an hour or two would take from the flavor? First time seeing your video-good stuff!!!!

I keep sauces and condiments in the fridge after opening. I live in a pretty warm part of the world. During summer it stays over 30C for the best part of 2 to 3 months. Going up to around 42C at times.. I don't have air conditioning. Fridges are a must. Everything goes off if you leave it out in the heat.

I am a almost 77 year old [next week] Irish /Maori from Aotearoa NZ. I grew up on a farm I have 2 daughters, 9 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. I have been doing what you are teaching for years and years plus growing my own vegetables & fruit. It is so good to see a young person doing this, it gives me hope for the future. I try to teach my family to live this way with no waste. Tell them to buy a cheap dehydrator to process excess fruit & vegetables into dried snacks that can be easily stored in glass jars. When I was young we used to dry food outside everything from fruit, vegetables, meat, eels & fish. Every night we had to bring it in, then put it back out the next day if it wasn't raining. It is so easy now you just buy a dehydrator all that extra work gone. Lovely. love you work.

@aspirehigher6368 5 лет назад

So important for people to pass the right things on to younger generations. That's how we move Forward. I appreciate finding this video as well because she didn't just tell us to do these things but explained and detailed its actual significance. We need the whys in order to empower ourselves in knowledge and differentiate the true usefulness of various traditional practices. There are so many things that seem like common sense but one might never think of (like the fact that lettuce needs its moisture absorbed to not wilt) and one might come upon certain "hacks" only by happenstance through experience over time if there's no one there to show you the ropes even though it's been previously discovered and widely known.

@pamelatorres2219 5 лет назад

I always wondered about the old fashioned way of dehydrating. How did you keep flies and other creepy crawlies away from the food?

For centuries salt and sugar were used to preserve food and that food was stored at room temperature. Jams are sugar heavy, mustard, hot sauce, etc is preserved with vinegar, honey has natural antiseptic and have been found in the tombs of Egypt still perfectly preserved. I stored many foods in the refrigerator for years. One day I had an epiphany - wow, as a child we stored many of these food in the cupboard. Why was I wasting space in the frig? Now all my jams, mustards, hot sauces (not salsa), maple syrup, pickles/capers (not relish), steak sauces, peanut butter, tahini, all oils, soy sauce, honey, agave, and so much more.

When it comes to green onions, keeping them in a glass of water with the intent of harvesting the green parts every now and again isn't going to work for long. Plant them in dirt and use them as a houseplant if you want that. They need nutrients to keep growing. Never tried it as I don't use green onions much, but I do grow plants and they will probably last quite a while if you plant them.

It's been more than 2 years since I planted planted onion greens in my yard. Left alone, they've grown thick and are about 2' tall. I never checked for the bulbs under. I use the green portion occassionally.

Enjoyed this video! A registered nurse on another yt channel said that if we purchase shaved or grated cheese to remember to spoon out what is needed each time, and never take any cheese out using your hand because the cheese will mold quickly. ❤️😀

I only use the green part of the onions and then plant the white bulbs in a a planter on the porch. The green grows back out in a few weeks. When I need green onions I can just snip a few stalks and they regrow. I do the same with chives. I have had the same pot of chives growing for 15 years.

Tomatoes - In Israel we are much warmer. In summer we easily reach 40 ° C in the shade. So in the summer I keep tomatoes in the refrigerator and in the winter I keep them on the countertop. And for that reason, did you know that tomatoes actually change their taste? In the summer they are sweeter and tastier, they respond well to the heat in the crop. And therefore the tomatoes arrive more ripe and juicy in the summer and there is no need to give them time to complete the process and be ready to use, so in the summer they keep them in the refrigerator otherwise they will spoil quickly. On the other hand, in the winter they are more sour and less tasty, especially if kept refrigerated. While when kept out of the refrigerator they become tastier after a few days.

Same happens in Argentina. Although when I take them out of the plant I do it when they still are a little green and let them ripen on the counter. When they're too many, I make salsa :)

Love your solution to limp scallions and can't wait to see if I can grow some in the fridge!!! I have struggled for years with keeping green onions fresh until I tried another tip I learned: remove them from the plastic bag, give them a good rinse under cool tap water, do not dry them, hold them in a bunch, wrap the bunch up in a couple of paper towels, place them in a sealed baggie, store in fridge. They will stay fresh and crisp for literally weeks!!!

@babubee 4 года назад

Your video is so very helpful.....I especially thank you for the scallion info....going to place them into water right now!

@TrishTruitt 7 лет назад

Very helpful. TOMATOES: I've found the more air-flor the better, so Ii always take them out of the plastic, rinse with some baking soda water (then clear water) then pop into a basket with a lot of holes in it and place on a counter or table. I do find though that they ripen quickly in warmer weather and will toss them into the fridge if they're starting to ripen too fast. I'm wondering if the are giving off that same ethylene gas, if putting one of those blue apples might help them too. CHEESE: I buy my favorite cheese in big blocks and I just make sure to wrap it in paper towels soaked in salt water. Then in a plastic container in the fridge.That keeps it good almost indefintly.

@koul4474 8 лет назад

GRAPE TIP: A grape bunch can last longer if you pick a grape from the top of the bunch (close to the main stem) and stick it over the top of the stem. Then you can keep it outside the fridge and it will still last longer! I like eating them cold so I still put them in the fridge. A producer from my farmer's market shared this with me :)

@ilamay77 5 лет назад

What do you mean? After picking the grape where does it go n how?

@lsquirt213 5 лет назад

I agree with ilamay77 ... do you cut the grape or just pierce it as you put it on the top stem?

@cornegibbens3910 4 года назад

Condiments are packed full of sugar- since changing my diet, I've tossed all condiments and cook with more fresh herbs for flavor- so no need for condiments!
