Ever Heard of the Potato-Apple Trick?!

Potatoes sprouting way too fast? There’s actually a science-backed kitchen hack for that. If you store apples with your potatoes, the ethylene gas from the apples slows down the sprouting process in potatoes. Wild, right? It’s all about the natural chemicals fruits give off. But don’t toss onions in the same bin—onions and potatoes together will spoil each other quicker. A lot of people keep all their produce in one spot, but separating things based on how they interact can actually keep them fresher longer. Also, potatoes like a cool, dark place, not the fridge. The cold turns their starch into sugar, which messes with the flavor and texture. Just a little food science from what I saw at a local market display today! Now share it to you lol. #Food Knowledge #Kitchen Hacks #ProduceTips #Food Storage
