I sometimes go to the farmers' market and come home with tons of fresh
fruit and veg. Within days the kitchen counters (where I leave the
stuff that doesn't fit in the fridge) are abuzz in fruit flies. What
do people do? What's an elegant solution?

I've been told Tupperware makes containers that can help the fruit and
veg last a lot longer - but I always thought you had to leave the
produce on a shelf so it could breathe?

Supposedly Tupperware uses some kind of magical plastic that makes the
stuff last?


The only good feature of the Tupperware containers is the ridged bottom.
Most refrigerator vegetable drawers already have those, but it's not enough.
There are plastic grids you can buy and place in the drawers. If one
vegetable goes bad and starts to ooze, the rest of the stuff in the drawer
won't be sitting in the liquid. Get the grids, forget the Tupperware.
