#22 Store your carrots upright

Well, who knew! Leeks and carrots keep better out of the fridge and upright:

This project from Jihyun Ryou takes a fresh look* at how we store our food. I love the way this set up looks great in your kitchen but also serves a purpose: your food will keep better and you can get by with a smaller fridge.

Sometimes we forget past wisdom or assume that because it’s old it’s somehow worse: it’s great to look back at some of these things and combine them with modern understanding and technology to create new solutions better than both worlds.

If you’re interested in learning more, she has a whole blog dedicated to collecting and sharing such tips.

*Darn, that’s two cliche points on my writer’s licence right there :/

About Nell

I am a researcher in bionanotechnology currently living and working in Tokyo. I moved out here nearly three years ago, against my better judgement but in search of adventure. It has certainly been an adventure and not one I would have missed for the world. I am trying to retrain as a designer and you may see the odd example of my work appear here as I progress. I also indulge in opinionated rambling.
