Keep Collard Greens Fresh for Days—Here’s What Works

Skip washing your collard greens before storing. Moisture is the enemy if you want them to last more than a couple days. Pop them straight into a big, air-tight plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can, then seal it up. If you’re out of bags, wrap the greens in a damp paper towel and stick them in an unsealed bag instead. Toss the bag in your fridge’s crisper drawer. They’ll stay crisp for about 5 to 7 days. Check daily—if they start to wilt or get slimy, it’s time to toss them. Only wash the greens right before you cook them. They can be gritty, so soak and rinse well. This method keeps collard greens tasting just-picked all week! #CollardGreens #KitchenTips #FreshProduce #Food #Cooking

Felipe’s Market•A Hidden Eastern European Grocery Gem in South Bay🌈❤️

Market lovers, here's a recommendation for an Eastern European hidden gem in Sunnyvale that boasts excellent quality rivalling Whole Foods with unbeatable prices! Initially, I thought it was a Mexican supermarket, but stepping inside, I found a wealth of imported goods from Eastern European countries like Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, etc. And the prices? They brought me to tears! Examples: *Blueberries at $0.69 per small box, blackberries at $0.99 per small box, apples at $0.99 per pound! Even oranges, grapefruits, watermelons, and durians are priced to make you forget about inflation! *Organic vegetables, priced at $1.99, $2.49, $3.49 per pound, delivered straight from the farm - so fresh and competitively priced! *Nuts and dried fruit, I got dried pineapple and apricots for over five bucks a pack! Even banana chips, dried mangoes, and more - two full shelves to choose from! *Snacks and nibbles, tons of Eastern European imports to choose from, like Russian honey cake, Polish chocolate mille-feuille...priced from a few to over ten bucks! *Dairy products, lots of Kefir yogurts, and many Russian brands show these Eastern Europeans know what’s good! Plus, the popular ceramic jar yogurt is only $2.99 here – lowest price ever! *Eggs, plenty of organic and non-organic choices. Try the most expensive Alexandre organic eggs at $9.99 per pack, the quality surpasses all! To summarize: There are countless strengths, there are some weaknesses too, the entire market only has one meat cooler with sausages and smoked meats (see picture 8), so if you're hoping to buy fresh meat products, you're out of luck! Finally, Picture 9 shows my haul, the Lithuanian caramel ice cream is awesome [heart eyes emoji]! 📍Felipe’s Market 1101 W El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087 #FelipesMarket #HiddenGem #EasternEuropeanGrocery #Sunnyvale #QualityAndAffordability #ImportedGoods #FreshProduce #DairyProducts

Potato Storage Hacks: Keep Them Fresh for Months

First, sort your potatoes. Set aside any with bruises or broken skins—use those up quickly or toss them if they're really bad. Only store the healthy ones. Store the good potatoes in a dark, dry spot. Basements or kitchen cabinets work great, but make sure there's airflow. Mesh bags or baskets with newspaper layers are perfect—never use airtight containers. Keep the temperature cool, ideally between 35-40°F. Don’t use the fridge—it messes with the taste and texture. Every couple of weeks, check for green spots, sprouts, or rot. Remove any bad ones fast to protect the rest. Never wash potatoes before storing. Moisture is the enemy here—brush off dirt when they’re dry and only wash right before cooking. Keep potatoes away from apples and onions. Ethylene gas from those can make your potatoes sprout early. Follow these steps and you’ll get way more life out of your spuds! #PotatoStorage #KitchenTips #FreshProduce #Food #Cooking

It's not a cult! Fruit with salt and chili is super Great！

It's a traditional way in the Asian region. Sour with sweetness and hotness, along with the The fragrance of fruits, totally a sweet and sour appetizer! Lightly salted raw veggies and fruits are seriously underrated. Green unripe plums, mini cucumbers, and unripe almonds are all super crisp and tangy with just a sprinkle of salt. Radishes, kohlrabi, and jicama also work really well raw and salted, and they’re easy to prep. Even raw turnip slices or snap peas can be surprisingly good with a pinch of salt! #Food knowledge #SaltySnacks #FreshProduce #Fun fact

Keep Cucumbers Fresh for a Whole Week!

Ever wondered why your cucumbers get mushy so fast? Turns out, storing them next to tomatoes (or other ethylene-producing veggies) is a major no-no. The secret? Wrap each cucumber in a paper towel, pop them in a plastic bag, and stash them in the fridge—away from tomatoes, apples, and peppers. This simple trick keeps them crisp and fresh for up to 7 days longer. No more sad, soggy cucumbers in your salad! #KitchenHacks #FoodStorage #FreshProduce #Food

how did i end up with a rainbow harvest before breakfast?

This morning, I wandered into my backyard and was shocked by the explosion of color in my veggie patch. Tomatoes in every shade, a handful of shiny peppers, and even a few sneaky strawberries hiding under the leaves. I swear, watering early and mulching with old leaves has made everything pop. Plus, I always pick in the morning when the veggies are crisp and cool—makes a huge difference. It’s wild how a little daily attention turns into a basket full of surprises. I can’t help but feel proud every time I fill my kitchen with homegrown snacks. If you’ve got a patch of dirt, give it a try. You might end up with your own rainbow harvest, too. #gardening #homegrown #freshproduce

why does my family think my homegrown veggies are sketchy?

Every time I bring in fresh tomatoes or cucumbers from my backyard, my wife and mother-in-law give me this look. Like, are you sure these are safe? I get it—store-bought stuff looks perfect, but there’s something awesome about picking your own food. I started small, just a couple of pots, and now I’ve got a mini jungle out there. I use compost from kitchen scraps and water every morning. No weird chemicals, just sun and dirt. The taste is next level, and it feels good knowing exactly where my food comes from. My daughter even helps me pick the lettuce. Now, my wife sneaks cherry tomatoes into her salad, and my MIL brags to her friends about our “organic” garden. Turns out, a little patience (and a lot of taste tests) wins them over. #gardening #homegrown #familylife #organic #freshproduce

did my wife just harvest the garden jackpot before breakfast?

This morning, my wife walked in with her arms full of fresh veggies. Tomatoes, peppers, and even a couple of cucumbers—like she’d just hit the garden lottery. We always joke that the secret is talking to the plants, but honestly, watering early and mulching has made a huge difference. The soil stays cool, and the weeds don’t stand a chance. We started small, just a few pots on the porch. Now, it’s a whole backyard operation. Every haul feels like a little victory. If you’re thinking about growing your own, just start with what you love to eat. Watching those first sprouts pop up is the best feeling ever. gardening #homegrown #freshproduce #backyardgarden #gardening #homegrown #freshproduce #backyardgarden
