    Thank you for your video. First time seeing your video. I have been seriously looking to find ways to keep my fruits and veggies longer while storing them and glad to find someone who has had done this successfully for years. And more happy to know that blueberries can last a month and a bit longer, wow! This is definitely a money saver. I hate wasting food, so glad that your video popped up on my feed. I am now one of your subscribers! Can’t wait to learn more, especially with organizing my refrigerator and food shelves. 😊

    This is so informative thank you I needed this question. What kind of jar do I put my strawberries with a plastic lid or metal?

    • @TheCrossLegacy
      @TheCrossLegacy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A plastic lid is ok for berries but either will work. The gallon ones are linked in my Amazon storefront which is in my description of this video and that will hold two pounds.

  • @jenniferb.6065

    You can actually eat the stems of the strawberries. They kind of have a neutral taste unless you eat it with the rest of the berry.

    Thank you so much for this video! Forgive me if you already answered this in the video… although they’re in the jars, do you still store them in the refrigerator or do you keep them on the counter in room temperature?

    i just started doing this after seeing your instagram. excited to see how to prevent what happened with my Raspberries and Blackberries. Question: Why the 5% for cooking? I wasn't raised knowing this type of stuff, I didn't even know you use 7% to clean.

    • @TheCrossLegacy
      @TheCrossLegacy  ปีที่แล้ว

      The 7% isn't safe for food and you find it in the cleaning aisle at stores in the US.

    Can you dry the washed produce with a paper towel instead of letting it sit out and drive for 3 hours?

    • @TheCrossLegacy
      @TheCrossLegacy  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It won't be completely dry with a paper towel

  • @Thisisit120
    @Thisisit120 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One way to get your plastic lids to last longer. When you wash them in the dishwasher turn off the dry cycle. I’ve been doing this for years and my plastic containers last much much longer I just let my dishes air dry or if I’m in a hurry I take them out and dry them with a towel and put them away. But usually after the dishwasher is done I just open the door and the hot steam escapes and they just dry.

    • @TheCrossLegacy
      @TheCrossLegacy  ปีที่แล้ว

      love this suggestion. I often open up my dishwasher but it is because I hate the sound of the drying cycle it makes my ears ring.

    Does it help to vacuum seal the jars when you jar your berries? Is it necessary or beneficial?

    • @TheCrossLegacy

      No, they just are stored closed in the fridge. You do not need to vacuum seal.

    • @TheCrossLegacy
      @TheCrossLegacy  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      That's funny you brought this up, yes I know a strawberry is not technically a berry but a banana is. The problem is most of the world doesn't know the difference to the scientific groupings of a produce item. We are working on our 3rd produce book and it is often a discussion of do we put pumpkins under melons and list them under a fruit, would anyone open the book to be able to find the produce item they are looking for if they were grouped in their true category. Carrots and carrots not listed under the herbs for example is another one since they are part of the parsley family. In general the things I am talking about are to help the home cook save money on groceries by reducing food waste not to over complicate produce.
