Basil
Basil is a must-have herb for any kitchen, adding a unique flavor to elevate your dishes. However, it’s important to keep it at a temperature of at least 40°F (4°C)—anything colder can cause black spots to appear and ruin its taste. To keep your basil fresh, store it in a bit of water and keep it in the shade, rather than in the fridge. This way, it’ll last much longer and continue to bring fresh flavor to your meals.

Onions
Onions thrive in warmer climates and, even more importantly, need proper air circulation to stay fresh. Whether they’re chopped, fried, or whole, treating them with care is essential. Interestingly, onions and potatoes don’t mix well—keeping them close together can speed up the onions’ aging process. To keep both fresh, store them in separate areas of your kitchen, and most importantly, keep them out of the fridge!
