Most of us probably keep a few rolls of paper towel in the kitchen. While they’re great for cleaning and wiping up spills, paper towels can also work wonders in the fridge. Yes – in the fridge! It may sound surprising, but paper towels are the secret weapon for keeping produce fresh longer.

According to Reader’s Digest, using paper towels in the fridge helps vegetables stay fresh for an extended period. This is perfect for those who want to enjoy their vegetables without watching them wilt away in the fridge.

Start by lining your produce drawer with paper towels every time you bring home fresh produce. This hack works best when you replace the paper towels regularly. If your produce comes in a single bag, just throw a paper towel inside with them.

An added benefit is that your produce drawer stays cleaner, saving you from frequent fridge cleaning.

Few things frustrate me more than food waste, especially given the high price of fresh produce. It’s painful to see fruits and veggies spoil before we can eat them. This is where paper towels come in handy. Line your crisper drawers with paper towel before placing your produce inside. For bags of spinach or lettuce, add a sheet or two of paper towel as well.

Over time, fruits and veggies release stored water, which can make them soggy and wilted if left to sit in it. The paper towel absorbs this excess moisture, keeping your produce fresher for longer.

If you already knew about this hack, great! If not, now is the perfect time to try it. Something as simple as a few sheets of paper towel can make a big difference in storing your produce, reducing food waste, and saving you money in the long run.
