Take advantage of your basement.
Basements are one of the most temperature-stable spaces in homes because they’re underground. We recommend following this food storage tip: choose a cool and dark corner of your basement to store root vegetables you find on sale.
And try to store the produce in mesh bags to allow air circulation and reduce the risk of unwanted pests.
Mesh laundry bags for storing vegetables.
While we’re on the subject of mesh bags: Put your potatoes, onions, garlic, and any other similar veggies in a mesh laundry bag to allow air to circulate.
If you don’t have a basement, hang them somewhere they can breathe without exposure to direct sunlight, and they’ll stay fresher for more extended periods of time.
