When you get home from the grocery store, you probably only consider where to put your food if it needs to be put into the fridge, pantry, or if it’s frozen, the freezer. But, there are actually a lot of foods that do much better if stored in the freezer, so if you want to keep your food fresher for longer, go on and pop more things into the freezer!
Nuts
Because nuts have a really high-fat content, they can actually spoil kind of quickly if left out at room temperature. Instead, chuck those nuts into the freezer and you can eat them for up to 2 years! The best part is you don’t need to defrost them before you eat them because they won’t solidify or get icy, so go ahead and go nuts with your nuts.
Butter
If you’re someone who only occasionally uses butter for cooking and baking, this trick is perfect for you. Butter that’s put into a freezer bag can last up to 1 year if it’s a salted stick, and 6 months if it’s unsalted! This is great if you want to cube up butter in advance to use for pies and pastries, all you have to do is pull it out, let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly, and bake away!
