How to keep fruits and vegetables fresh?

While in Charleston, I used to visit a farmers market, and buy various kinds of fruits and vegetables that were required for my entire week. So storing all the produce was a big project for me. From my experience, I can say that keep all your countertop fruits and veggies away from direct sunlight. And store all your produce, which needs to kept in your refrigerator, in perforated storage bags. Your fruits and vegetables needs to be kept separately. As ethylene build up can spoil all your produce. One of the best ways to store herbs, like cilantro or parsley, is to keep them upright in a glass of water.
