Phyllo for the win!

According to experts.

Let’s face it: The bottom drawer of the fridge is nothing more than a black hole. We’ve all probably brought home a haul of fresh fruits and veggies, only to find them wilted or worse, moldy, in the same place a few weeks later. The issue? Many of us just don’t eat what we can’t see.

I’m a big fan of prepping ingredients in advance, but it can be tricky to keep some ingredients fresh until you need them. Case in point: apples. Once cut and exposed to air, the apple’s flesh begins to brown due to oxidation. And whether you’re packing up lunch for yourself or your kids, or you want to cut apples ahead to make apple pie or apple crisp, nobody wants brown apples. The only way to stop oxidation is to create a protective barrier between the cut fruit and the air.
