1. Before you squeeze citrus, microwave it for 15 seconds
It might sound weird, but warm fruit releases juice more easily than a cold one.
2. Wrap banana crowns in cling-film
Bananas release Ethylene gas, similarly to
apples. The only problem with that is that it hastens ripening and then –
rotting. Once harvested, this process begins and cannot be stopped. You
can, however, slow it down by wrapping the crowns in cling-film,
minimizing the amount of ethylene released. (For even better results,
separate all the bananas from the bunch and wrap each crown
individually)
3. Fertilize potted plants with spent coffee grounds
Used coffee grounds are still rich in
nutrients, making them wonderful fertilizer for potted plants, and their
acidity also helps to keep snails and slugs away. You can sprinkle the
grounds on the soil, mix it in the first 2 inches or brew it a-little,
and pour the concoction into the flower-pot.
4. Use huggers to preserve cut fruits and veggies
Cut vegetables and fruit rot faster due to the exposure to air. Use the huggers to keep them fresh for longer.

5. Make ready-for-use herbal butter
Chop fresh herbs and place them in an ice
tray, then fill with softened butter or oil. This will prevent the herbs
from spoiling and give you individual portions of your choice of
herb-butter! YUM!
6. Regrow leftovers
The bottom of various green leafy veggies
can be regrown. Celery, green onions, lettuce and more can be regrown
from the leftover bottoms, using a small container and keeping them
watered.
7. Leftover cheese wrappers can be used for storage
Cut the first part of the cheese along with
the wrapper, remove the cheese and use the wrapper to seal the rest of
the cheese. No more dry ends on your cheese!
8. Get all the mango while keeping your hands clean
Cut the mango in halves, grab a glass and
use it as a scooper to separate the flesh from the skin. No more wasting
mango or getting your hands sticky!
9. Keep your avocado with an onion
The sulfur in the onion fumes will prevent
the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown. A splash of apple cider
vinegar or lemon juice will work similarly.10. Make left-over Pizza crispy again
There are 2 ways to get that leftover pizza
crispy again: Put it in a skillet and let the oil in the crust return
it into crispy goodness. Alternatively, put it in the microwave with a
glass of water. While it’s not as efficient, it’s faster…
