Film Transcript / Subtitles

Once, people thought the perfect way to eat was to gobble up food the minute it was prepared. That worked fine for our ancestor, the caveman, who could munch on a dinosaur leg minutes after bringing it down. But that's not practical advice for modern housewives who often buy in quantity. So they must learn to store food properly. Here are a few keys to success. Store leftovers as soon after serving as possible. Wash soft textured vegetables, dry, and place in an airtight container. Never wash red meats. Store them loosely wrapped in the coldest part of your refrigerator. To save on nutrient loss and the food dollar, plan to use all foods at their peak of flavor and freshness.
