Use Paper Bags to keep food fresh

Paper or plastic, which is the best option for you? The question will invariably appear in your mind while exploring every grocery store. Paper bags are multifunctional. Not only they are great gift bags, but they are a great household item for storing food. Here are some examples.

Keep bread fresh

Your bread will stay fresh for a longer period of time if you put them in a paper bag. The crust of the bread will remain crisp and the inside of the loaf will stay soft and moist. This way you do not have to throw away old bread once they are stale.

Ripen your fruits

Many unripen fruits like bananas, papaya, mango, avocado, pears, peaches and plums will ripen fast if you place them inside a paper bag. To accelerate the ripening process of any fruit, place couple of already ripe apples in the same bag and store it at room temperature, preferably in a cold and dark place, away from sunlight.

Storing Mushrooms

Put mushrooms in paper bag inside your refrigerator to keep them fresh for a longer period of time.

Easy Cleanup

When peeling vegetables, fruits or other messy jobs in the kitchen, simply cut open a brown paper bag. Spread it over your countertop. This way your kitchen countertop won’t be dirty and your clean up would be much easier. Simply throw away the used paper into the garbage once you are done

Paper bags seem to be a sustainable option in the market now days. We should start by using more paper bags to go shopping, and reuse them again and again for a better tomorrow.
