What a great post. I am always looking for good deals on bulk produce for preserving. I am dying for some peaches and may have to make a trip to the “other” farmers market on the other side of town this week to see if we can get a bushel of them.

Thanks for participating in Food Roots and sharing your thoughts and tips. I hope I will see you back there again!

Absent a root cellar I keep my potatoes in a carton box in the (air-conditioned) basement. Cover them with an old towel to shield them from light. Humidity and light will eventually coax every good potato to sprout an indication that your food has some life in it which in my humble mind is much preferable to the chemically-treated-prevented-from-sprouting version.

Great tips. Especially around buying in bulk.

I don’t have trouble with the concept, generally. However, I have HUGE trouble with (untreated) potatoes, like you find at the farmer’s market, sprouting — seemingly no matter where I store them. What’s the best place to put them to prevent spoilage and/or sprouting??
