Winter vegetable storage tips

Potatoes
- need to be kept in the dark to prevent green patches forming, which are toxic when eaten raw
- best kept in a cloth or paper bag in a cool, dry place

Dry alliums - i.e. onions/garlic
- best kept in a paper or cloth bag
- best kept in a cool, dry place, such as a cupboard or garage

Uncut squash
- store in a moderate temperature

Salad and other leaves
- best kept in a plastic bag in the fridge or very cool place such as the garage

Everything else - carrots and other roots, leeks, cut squash
- as a general rule keep in plastic to preserve humidity or paper/cloth to reduce
- they all need somewhere cool to cold
