10 Weird But Effective Freshness Hacks That Get The Job Done (4 of 6)

Bread

For bread that lasts longer and maintains its fresh taste, take a stick of celery and add it to a breathable linen bag or ceramic bread box to avoid moisture build-up and mold. For even longer stays, freeze slices individually and thaw as needed. 

Apples

Brown apples got you bummed? We’ve got the solution! Submerge your cut slices in a quick lemon-water bath (1 tablespoon per cup water) for 5 minutes, then drain. The vitamin C acts like a shield, slowing down browning. Store them in an airtight container with a damp paper towel to keep them hydrated. Say hello to crisp, vibrant apples for days!
