Over 5.8 million potatoes are wasted daily in British homes. Money-saving expert Heidi shares tips on how to store potatoes correctly, extending their shelf life and preventing waste.
UK Harvest has reported that over 5.8 million potatoes are discarded daily in British homes, making them the nation's most wasted food item. To combat this waste and save some cash, it's crucial to learn the correct way to store spuds, as many people unknowingly keep them in the wrong place.
The secret to keeping your spuds fresh for longer lies in storing them in a cool, dark place, away from the damaging effects of sunlight. Hedi said: 'When potatoes are exposed to too much light, a green hue can start to take over on the skin.' She warned that this greening could indicate that the potato has become potentially harmful to eat, so it's crucial to prevent them from turning green at all.
