How to Keep Food Fresh
Featured pro: Curtis Stone

With food prices seemingly always on the rise, nobody likes to waste food. Curtis Stone shows you his trade secret for keeping foods like apples and avocados fresh and appetizing for longer.
Step 1: Lemon Juice
Always try and cut fruits as close to the time you intend to use them but if you can't, try squeezing a bit of lemon juice on your cut fruit. The juice will prevent browning but remember, don't use too much or all your fruit will taste like lemons!!
Step 2: Plastic Wrap
Remember to push down your plastic wrap as close to the what you're wrapping; the less air between the wrap and the food the better.
Step 3: Potatoes
Want to get ahead and peel a bunch of potatoes? Keep them in water to keep them fresh.

I accidently discovered that when I cut an apple in half, and put the half I didn't need in the bag with my baby carrots, the next day, the apple was still white. My wife said maybe it is preservatives in the baby carrot bag, but maybe it's the carrots, I just know I was surprised.

Every generation has to teach it to the next and many in this generation are growing up without the same kind of generational transfer of basic knowledge we've had--instead of learning from a parent or grandparent they learn by watching videos like this one.
