1. To keep asparagus fresh and crisp for a
week or more, cut the stems, submerge them in water like flowers, and
throw a plastic bag over them before refrigerating, like this:
2. Storing onions in pantyhose can help them stay fresh up to 8 months
3. Turning a tub of sour cream or cottage
cheese upside down can create a vacuum seal in the container, which will
prevent the growth of bacteria longer
4. Submerging berries in a mixture of 1
part vinegar and 10 parts water, then draining and keeping in the fridge
can extend their shelf life. The solution is too weak for you to taste
the vinegar, but it can keep strawberries fresh for up to 2 weeks and
raspberries for a week
5. Store ginger in the freezer. It doesn't
just last longer that way, it also grates more easily. You won't need to
peel it, too, since the skin dries down very thin
6. Potatoes can be stored with apples to prevent them from sprouting
7. Store leftover fresh herbs for months: simply squish pieces of herbs into an ice cube tray, top up with olive oil, and freeze, once set, transfer it into a ziplock bag for easy use. 
8. Storing salad this way will absorb and
excess moisture and make it last all week. You can use a regular towel
or washcloths in place of the paper towel, too
9. It's much better to store mushrooms in a paper bag than a plastic bag, as plastic traps moisture, which can lead to mildew
10. Store carrots in the fridge for months by simply removing the greens and ke eping them in a container filled with water
11. Store delicate herbs such as parsley,
basil, and cilantro like a bouquet of flowers covered with plastic and
refrigerate to make them last longer. I used to remove the stem and all bad parts of cilantro/ coriander leaves, and put them in a box that had small holes. Or when you place them in a plastic box, layer with kitchen towel, place greens and cover with a kitchen towel, as the kitchen towel absorbs moisture, it will last long !
12. The easiest way to regrow scallions
