Keeping fruits and vegetables at their prime is easier with these tips.

1. To ensure fruit gets eaten, make it accessible (here paired with yogurt for a grab-and-go snack).

2. Butternut and other winter squashes should be kept at room temperature until cut; after that, wrap them well in plastic and refrigerate on a shelf (not a drawer, where they may get overlooked).

3. If your refrigerator has a third produce drawer, keep leafy greens in the smallest one with the highest humidity. If not, wrap the greens in a damp paper towel and keep in a plastic bag in the regular vegetable crisper.
