If nothing else motivated me to wash my produce, this does 😂
😂
This is so pleasing to watch. One of my favorite days is market day, there’s something about a fridge full of food that just says “abundance”. And even though it’s a lot of work sometimes, it feels so good.
couldnt agree more
please please please PLEASE do a video about produce storage, cheap raw ideas, and any produce/ plant knowledge for health, buying, or gardening u have!!
I was going to comment the same but saw this comment. I definitely second this!
Seeing those produce bags being loaded and unloaded is just satisfying. Definitely going to watch more meal vids of yours
hope u enjoy
I swear I never thought to clean my produce off before placing it in the fridge. This definetely taught me something!
Can you do an in-depth video on how to clean veggies and fruit and when its best to wash produce, so it doesn’t go bad and more ways to store produce after washing it?
sure
I always love seeing how you go about doing things because I feel like there's a unique perspective - you always have cool organisation tools and processes! I'm glad we got to get a look into how you shop for produce and how you process it once you've got it home. Wishing you the best! ❤
thanks hun!
I'm obsessed with those fridge drawers! So much nicer than the little plastic bins at the bottom of a typical fridge.
Ariane, you don't have to ask IF we want to see anything. The answer is always YES!
😂 i need the feedback; i dont like to just assume cause half the time i be wrong! 😩
Girl, you get a thumbs up simply for showing how you clean your produce. Thank you
you’re welcome
I’m a junk food vegan. But i do also eat A LOT more whole, fresh foods than before I was vegan. You’ve definitely been a big inspiration to me to eat healthier and cook more of my own foods from scratch 😁💚 I definitely need to start prepping my produce like this
and that’s totally ok! If it works for you, thats all that matters, but im glad these vids inspire u to try more options too
Trader joe’s & Sprouts have the best organic produce prices in my experience, based on what you buy and what season, but I do my best to cycle the fruits & veggies I buy with the sales & seasons. Tons of locally grown options for seasonal fruit in general, too!
Love Sprouts!
thats the opposite experience in my area. any produce I buy from Trader Joe’s always goes bad almost immediately. I do love sprouts as well but can be hit or miss depending on the day and time
I’m so jealous of those who have trader joes in their area. I live in Canada so we don’t have that here 🥲
@@abetweene our Trader Joe’s is so fresh, we actually have 2 close by and they carry awesome organic produce.
thats so unfair
Thanks for putting the reusable bags link in description box cause I was going to ask😊
youre welcome!
@@abetweene 😊😊
Oh my gosh you are a gem. I do more frozen produce these days. Your dedication to that whole cleaning process when you get home is amazing, but I know I wont do all that. (I’ll do what I can tho!) I found your channel for the eco cleaning but I am thrilled you are a vegan with vegan tips too. ❤
I loved this. Please take us with you to anywhere else you shop. I love learning! That fridge is so bomb. I also want to know if you plan your meals
P.s. you can do no wrong!! Everything your brain thinks or does is just *chefs kiss* I swear. Such a gem!
sometimes yes but usually no, so ill be making an effort to do it more. Ill try to include that next time
when you said yall asking me to take you to the market I was like THANKS MOM 💓
😂
🤣
the containers that work for me are glass with an airtight lid, i can see everything in one glance, never going back!
i tried them but eventually the lids stop working? got stained, etc & it frustrated me 😩
I love this! It makes sense to wash and prep everything on grocery day 💡 Thanks for sharing!
yw!
This was so aesthetically pleasing to watch but also very informative. I wanted to get reusable bags for a few yrs now and I actually just did it after watching. I love grocery shopping and market days so I can’t wait to use them!
glad u enjoyed it
i’m so impressed how u did all that with another hand holding the camera
lol, me too! 😅
It helps to see someone else's routine! Thank you for this video girl! Although I have my techniques, I really appreciate seeing how you deal with critters and what you use to store your produce.
Nice fridge by the way! 😊❤️
couldnt agree more. sometimes you need a litttle perspective and seeing how others live their life can be so helpful. thanks!
YYYEEEEEEESSSSSS. FOOD VIDEOS PLEASE. I WAS THINKING THT THIS WHOLE TIME.
I rarely watch shop with me videos but this takes the cake! So satisfying to watch
thanks!
This was very pleasing to watch 😌✨ I just got home from the grocery store and I also love washing everything immediately so I can properly store it in my fridge. And I put the carrot greens/ parsley stems/ Kohlrabi leafs in a jar with water for my bunny to enjoy throughout the week 💖
♥️
More grocery hauls and definitely more what I eat in a week.
glad u liked it 😊
Thank you for the detail you went into with produce shopping! When I try to go, I realize I have no idea what I’m looking for and just grab anything. I know what to be more aware of now!
my pleasure!
heY! i think it would be pretty interesting how you maintain fresh your vegetables and fruits an dhow you storage them and idk if you frow some of the vegetables :)
It was nice to see you out and about ……. I would love to see more videos like this…….. yesssssss please
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAKE ME HAPPY.
me too
🤗🔔
😍💞🥰🤤 my dream organized refrigerator all that's missing is the land for a garden 😂
yes, land would be great
The produce aisle has always been so appealing to me. I got my produce bags ready! 🌱
Definitely love this video! I usually end up grocery shopping after work and end up too lazy to do a thorough clean / prep my produce properly for it to last longer. I end up doing the bare min lol. I have heard that you should store your potatoes and onions in different areas, something about either the moisture or ethylene gas. Since I started storing them separately, I do notice them lasting forever.
yes you should, I just dont have designated space rn. I actually plan on reorganizing soon so i can utilize my space better.
My grandmother stores potatoes in the basement where it’s cooler and they last for like a year
Enjoyed the video and I learned a lot about taking care of produce that was very helpful.
I also wash my fruits and veggies very thoroughly, so I really enjoyed watching this video. Also learned some new things! Very informative and oddly satisfying video haha
thanks!
omg i used to watch you religiously and just found my way back to your channel after moving in to college which is in philly as well! love your vids ❤️
aww congrats! and welcome to my city 💕
Pleaseee!!! I would love a combo of grocery shopping + meals 🤩 I love love loveeee your videos! They are so calming and enjoyable to watch. By far my favorite channel ❤️
got it ✍️ tysm!
Loved shopping with you and getting everything organized💗
ohh good 😊
I also use soda bicarbonate to wash my vegetables
I’m usually all for your what do I eat in a week vids, but I loved this!!
That avocado tip is about to save lives.
remember to put it back on after u check 👍🏽
I use just vinegar to get my produce clean and it's great! Just soak em for like 10min and rinse off, I will rub them with baking soda sometimes too if I feel they're really dirty. Plus no soap scum :D
im liking this, new to your channel. girl i aint never washed veggies before putting them in the fridge. seeing them critters making me think twic about my life now hahah
I adore Sweden oat brand is one of the best. I live in finland and we have very good brand of oat milk, here is the north oat cereal is very common.
This was soooo satisfying😍🤍
I clicked so fast! Great video, it was very informative; I didn’t know what “Castile” soap was before this, it looks cool, I’m gonna check it out. I love seeing people talk about reducing waste & being plant based, thank you for sharing!
so glad u enjoyed it! i put a link in the description box for more castile recipes if youre interested
That tip and method for the avocados was definitely needed. Thank you!
yw!
Very pleasing to watch. Tip though it's an error I see many people do. Do not store your onions with your potatoes. Onions emit ethylene which will make your potatoes spout and spoil faster.
yes i have sense separated them; i just didnt have another suitable container.
@@abetweene ah good!
It's a small pet peeve lol. Especially when store and other ads also do it. Haha. Love your content btw :)
Love love love your fridge. Inspirational
thanks 😊
Never clicked faster to watch a video in my life
SAME hahaha been waitinggg
I enjoyed watching this.☺️
😁
This was BEAUTIFUL!!! thank you!!
thanks!
Well it's officially, I will no longer wash my fruit and vegetables as I go. The comment about a whole ecosystem in the fridge, wow.......thank you!
you’re welcome! my philosophy is, ya never know so i play it safe.
your channel is my favorite thank you for sharing so much of your life and knowledge with us !
my pleasure
Your fridge is so peaceful!
So, in regards to washing stuff, I have heard that some produce, like berries for example, will go bad faster is they are washed long before you eat them. But other stuff, that usually gets sprayed with water in the store, seems like it makes sense.
My only pet peeve is washing things in the sink. It’s probably just me, but I’m grossed out by people who soak greens or herbs in their kitchen sinks because I think most sinks are filthy. We wash our hands in there, pour out beverages that have our saliva in it, etc, so unless you were to give the sink a really good scrubbing before you do that, I’m just concerned there’s a lot of bacteria in there. I usually wash my greens in a bowl, in fact, I bought a big hard plastic restaurant storage bin to wash greens in, specifically things like chard because it’s so dirty and big. So I don’t wash anything in the sink, but rather I rinse it under the tap.
yes, in summer ive been drying them in the sun before storage which prevents them from going soggy in the fridge but in the winter ive been known to just store them in an airtight container and wash just before eating as well.
Also my sink is always cleaned and dried before this process.
Thanks for taking us shopping with you!! 🛍 ☺
of course!
@@abetweene 🤍🤍💕
I love this
Did you wash the greens with soap and rinse with a water/vinegar mixture as well? Also, how long do you leave them to dry before storing?
As always, I love your content but I especially loved this video! Would love to see more around storing produce/other food items in general. I’m also curious as to how long your produce stays fresh when stored this way?!
yes. i just pat them with a tea towel and store. i like to leave some water on most of my greens so they stay crisp, like keeping fliwerse fresh in a vase of water.
and thanks for the feedback! glad u enjoyed it
Really appreciate you!!!
appreciate you too
@@abetweene do you ever have a problem with veggies getting water-logged?
this was such a good video! i think adding a recipe or two would be a great addition
thanks!
Have you considered using a black dry-erase marker on the stainless steel containers to label them? That way you won't waste paper with paper labels and it's easily changeable. :)
i havent but thats a great idea ✨
Glad you're back, great vid as always!!
ty! 💕
I love every single one of your youtube videos on your channel because it is so fun,creative,joyful,and lovely to watch everyday you are truly my inspiration to life very pretty as well.
tysm
@@abetweene you are welcome love anytime really I am really a big fan of yours like I enjoy watching your youtube channel everyday.
i really appreciate it 🥺
@@abetweene awwww you are so welcome beautiful np.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
You know we definitely want to see!! 💗
😁
Nahh that fridge looks magical
thanks ✨
Those pears look tasty af🤤
they were 😋
Thanks for sharing this! What do you do with the kale stems you stored in the fridge?
i either juice them or add them to smoothies or sauces
Great tips and I had no idea about the avocado button! Can u just wash your produce in vinegar? Does it make it last longer you think. I'm trying soooo hard to eat healthy. This video was so inspiring. Thank you 🙏🍄🍓🥬🥑
you can do whatever you feel comfortable with; Ive done vinegar only in the past. i wouldnt say it makes it last longer, no. In fact if u use too much and soak it too long the acid will breakdown the food.
The avocado button actually exposes the avocado to air and mold spores will form. A gentle squeeze is what I live by !
referring to the black avocados only, it helps determime whether theyre too far gone because multiple people squeezing them in the market leads to bruising making it harder to tell. Since theyre ripe, they’re the ones i eat immediately usually same day.
@@abetweene thank you for your reply! I agree definitely good on the same day, I just find so many buttons pulled off instore but that could happen in transportation etc. also yes definitely need a v gentle touch,!
OH MY GOODNESS! You are close by! Been following for a bit and love your sugar wax video. What a surprise to see my local Whole Foods within the first minute!!! Hey neighbor ;)
hey 👋🏽
How do you dry off your produce and leafy greens? I'd be worried that extra moisture could make the more delicate greens turn slimey quickly
I pat them with the tea towel at 7:06 but still leave some leftover moisture for certain greens because it can be helpful in keeping them crisp like romaine lettuce which can withstand being completely submerged in water and stays really crunchy. for those that need more wicking though you can place cloth or paper towel inside the container to absorb any excess.
Love it, would love to see another kitchen essentials as that Tupperware looks new. And do you prefer steel over glass?
sure! I prefer my glass jars but like the steel for larger quanties.
Do you have a link for the glass jars you use? I love the wide mouth ones for storing veggies.
sure! ive added it to the description box for you ♥️
My mom said the last two heads of cauliflower she bought had worms. I would have died 😩
yikes
I’m so excited! 🥰
Yesss I wanna see the meals you make with your groceriessss also can you a detailed video about what food storage to use and where to get from? I wanna start eating more Whole Foods n cooking but I have a lot of bad habits and don’t really know where to get certain things
So most of my foods end up going bad or take forever to prep…and I just eat the frozen food in my freezer😭🧎🏾♀️
i’ll see what I can do! but in the meantime Don’t be afraid to freeze your fresh produce to prolong the shelf life so you have more time to make meals 😉
ohhh this should be fun!!
That's how I shop for avocados too lol
super curious to if you also refill those gallon water jugs at whole foods? i was really hoping to see that in the video, maybe i missed it!? if not where do you usually refill those at? love all your videos! :)
yes i do.
Loved this type of video!
😊
Loved this video ! Definitely would like to know where you got some of those containers. Going to visit ikea for the first time today 😍
thanks! Ive linked everything in the description box below the title. If ive forgotten anything, just let me know and ill add whats missing. 💕
So good!!
Loved this! Omg where’d you get those glass jugs?! Also what your typical budget for groceries? Love you! ❤️ more nail vids please!
I believe she has an Amazon link and if u look at her other videos she makes mention of the items she uses and provides links
its linked in the description box below the title 👍🏽 I spend anywhere from 60-100, depends what im restocking (fresh produce vs bulk pantry items, and specialty stuff like meat substitutes, etc)
@@abetweene Thanks you!
@@abetweene one more question out of curiosity do you garden?! If so I’d love to see 🤩
I don’t have access to outdoor space but I do what I can in my apartment sometimes
Loved this video
thanks!
Watching you grocery shop makes me feel so adult lmao. I'd go to the grocery store with every intention of making your recipes but my food would probably go bad before I do 😫
The cleaning portion of this was so helpful! I gave up on Castile soap for produce because of the residue so long ago 😂 how to keep track of what is in each stainless steel container with the steel lid? Do you open each one? Or label them somehow?
nope, i just know, lol. I only use them in the freezer and have only a few in different sizes so i can recall whats in them
i always love watching your videos, always learning something new:) p.s i normally wash as i go and this video really made me realize why i shouldn't lol. // you put soap on them first and then the vinegar? if so, can it be any kind of soap ? how long do you suggest to let them soak in the water?
correct. i use castile because it’s advertised for use on produce, so other types i couldnt say for sure. I just agitate them to make sure i losen any debris in crevices like the tops of apples, etc but dont leave to soak. same with the vinegar
I’m shocked so many folks don’t clean their produce before putting them up. Especially in this time of covid.
Very helpful!
I love your content!!!
aww thanks! 😊
I don’t think it’s right to wash everything bevor storing it. Veggies and Fruits have a protective layer which provides them so they stay fresh longer and don’t loose the taste and the nutrients that fast. Also despite you dry the food there is still moisture left which condense in the fridge. The more moisture is there the more unhygienic it gets cause germs sprout faster.
It is very nice to see you shopping with reusable bags im Europe plastic wrapping is mostly not allowed as well as plastic cutlery or straws ans those stuff. I hope the states will also catch up
WOW!!! Didn’t realize that dr. Bronners castille soap could clean your fruits and vegetables. What will the kale stems become?
juice, smoothies, or sauces
What refrigerator do you have? Love the drawers where you placed your produce!
Bertazonni
Love your videos!
You’re so organized 😩 😍.
i try but not always 😅
Again, so many questions! What did you rub on the oranges? Do you wash all of your produce with castille soap? And the vinegar, in what ratio do you use that to get rid of the leftover soap?
baking soda.
no some things i only use vinegar (like berries)
i dont measure
@@abetweene Thanks! Do you wash off baking soda/vinegar from oranges/berries?
yes, i do a final rinse.
@@abetweene thanks!
yw!
You're fridge is gorgeous! May I ask what brand and model it is?
Bertazzoni, not sure what model
Love these type of videos !! But i think imma stick with my pesticides cause i cannot stand bugs/insects 😭
lol
So I've been binge watching all your videos I've been missing 😕 and I'm 🤔 what happened to your blog. I didn't realize there was one. I go and pull it up and it says private 🥺😭. What happened or am I not in the group? Yes I have been watching all the videos binging them like a new season was coming. Lol!
its under construction 🚧
I loved the video! Where did you get the mason jars your stored your walnuts in?
thanks! theyre linked in the description box below the title 😉
Do you compost? If so, would you mind doing a video
i dont. its not available currently
At the register did you take everything out of the produce bags? Different items have different cost… I have always used separate bags for each different item… and limit my items to however many bags I have…. 🧐 I didn’t know you could put different items in the same bag…
nope, i usually do self check out.
hey queen i have a question watching your video i see you wash your produce immediately and i have done the same in the past but with my greens I've noticed they die faster !!! a technique someone taught me is to not wash your greens until you know your going to eat them in the next few days...washing them right before consumption is the best bet to get the most shelf life out of them! anyways, as you stated in this video if you didn't wash those greens immediately there would be a whole eco-system in your fridge LOLLLLL so just wondering how do you get the most out of your greens?!!!!?? a fellow organic sistaaaaaaa needs answerssss lol
i find that i get a longer shelf life this way especially with romaine. the only thing i wait to wash is berries. To each their own. Glad youve found what works best for you 👍🏽
Would you go about washing berries the same way? I tried washing it with vinegar and water and they went bad quickly 😩😢
how do you store them?
In a plastic container in the fridge
ok, it helps to have an elevated tray in the container so the berries dont sit in their own moisture as condensation forms, but i generally only buy berries right when i want to eat them so they only spend 1-3 days tops in the fridge or since their in an airtight container anyway, you can store them tight away and just wash them right before eating.
