It is not always possible to store root vegetables in the basement.

In this case, you have to keep the vegetable in the kitchen. But here it is important to remember some rules to keep potatoes for a long time.

It is important to remember that you should not leave the fruit in the refrigerator for a long time. Too low temperatures and high humidity can lead to changes in taste and texture.

You shouldn't leave the harvest in sunny places.

A damp and closed space is also not suitable. It can promote the development of fungi and mold.

It is important to remember that vegetables should not be stored in plastic bags, otherwise they will “suffocate” and, if the humidity is high, they will rot completely.

In addition, you cannot leave potatoes near heating vents. This will worsen the quality of the vegetable.

Experienced housewives also note that not all vegetables are suitable for storage together with potatoes.

For example, you shouldn't leave onions nearby. This will encourage the potatoes to sprout prematurely.
