STORING FRESH FOOD

There is a right way to package and store

refrigerated or frozen foods. To keep foods fresher,

longer, take the time to study these recommended

steps.

Leafy Vegetables...Remove store wrapping

and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas.

Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag

or plastic container and store in crisper.Cold, moist

air helps keep leafy vegetables fresh and crisp.

Vegetables with Skins (carrots, peppers)...Store

in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Fruit...Wash,

let dry and store in refrigerator in

plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries

until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in

their store container in a crisper, or store in a

loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Meat*...Meat is perishable and expensive...you

won’t wantto waste an ounce of it through careless

handling. The following list and chart give you

packaging hints and time limits.

Fresh, Prepackaged Meat. Store fresh meat in

the store wrapping. Vacuum packaged meat can

be frozen for as long as one month if the seal is not

broken. If you want to keep it frozen longer, you

should wrap it with special freezer wrapping

material.

Fresh Meat, Not Prepackaged. Remove the

market wrapping paper and re-wrap in aluminum

foil for storing it unfrozen.

Cooked Meat. Wrap or cover cooked meat with

plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store immediately.

Cured or

Smoked

Meat and Cold Cuts. Ham,

bacon, sausage, cold cuts. etc., keep best in origi-

nal wrappings. Once opened, tightly re-wrap in

plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Canned Ham. Store in refrigerator unless the

label says it’s okay to store on the shelf. Do not

freeze.

Fresh Poultry...Wrap

in plastic wrap. The plastic

on poultry, as purchased, may be used for storage.
