POTATOES - STORAGE

Storage potatoes have been cured, toughening their skin to hold in the moisture of the fruit.

STORAGE: Store outside of fridge in a cool, dark place. If they are exposed to sunlight, they may turn green or sprout. Potatoes produce ethylene gas, a natural hormone that is released by many fruits and vegetables. This causes other vegetables to prematurely ripen - mostly onions and apples, so keep them away from your onions and garlic. Potatoes can last 3-5 months stored this way.
