Fruits: If your peaches or nectarines are still hard as rocks when you buy them from the market, let them sit a few days on the counter, and they’ll ripen beautifully.
If you put them straight in the refrigerator, it’ll leave you with a mushier, less flavorful fruit. No one wants that, right?
Onions: If you want them to last longer, wrap them in a paper bag and store them in a cool and dark space.
Just make sure you don’t mix up the onions with the potatoes because potatoes tend to release moisture into the air, which will cause the onions to rot.
