Book Reviews of Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables
Book Review: Prolong storage even without a root cellar
Summary: 5 Stars
There is tremendous value to this book because you learn how to prolong the life of produce, purchased or otherwise, even if you don't have a root cellar. While the gardening and storage tips are great, I don't have unheated spaces in my house or even a basement, to say nothing of a root cellar, but as I read, I learned great storage tips that would work in my normal modern house and mistakes I was making that were causing my produce to spoil sooner than it should. I was buying those green bags in an effort to make things last longer, but I learned some simple--and free--ways to store items that work as well or better.
For example, some produce lasts longest in the fridge with high humidity, so group those items together in one crisper drawer and set the humidity higher (if you have that ability), or add a dampened towel to that drawer. Apples and potatoes should never be stored near one another. Squash likes it warmer (i.e. not in the fridge) and is happy in the mudroom. Apples like it cold and can be stored in a garage if, like me, you bought a case at a discount. My laser thermometer has allowed me to check the temperature of various places so the apples are cold but won't freeze.

There are dozens of tips in this book about every kind of storable produce and while it's great if you have lots of homegrown items and can manage the solutions they offer, the information also really helps those of us who buy our produce and have limited options for storage. We also want things to last as long as possible. I learned a lot from this book and don't need the green bags anymore.
