Save Money
In 2002, a report released by the University of Arizona and the United States Department of Agriculture indicated American families threw out an average of 470 pounds of food per year. That’s about 14 percent of all food brought into the home. Every day, more than half a pound of produce was wasted. The annual cost of this waste was found to be $600!
Tastier Food
Unfavourable storage conditions can result in flavour loss or worse. Strong flavours and smells can be passed to items stored nearby. Textures can be damaged, becoming fibrous and woody or limp and wilted. On the other hand, proper storage can actually improve the taste of some foods.
Healthier Food
Vitamins and minerals are lost more rapidly when food is stored incorrectly.

What about storage on avocados? I didn’t see any information in this booklet on that or on the chart. This is a very handy guide/chart. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comment Laura,
I guess I’m going to have to update the booklet. In the meantime, Avacado Central appears to have some useful information on storing avacados.
I hope this helps.
In your e-book, you say that most fridges are at 5-8°C. This in incorrect. Fridges should be between 0-4°C to avoid food contamination
Good catch!
I think the temperatures were correct in most places. The section on cabbage has been corrected and the updated version of the ebook is available for download.
