"A thriving vegetable garden can provide organic, sustainable food options year-round. But once your garden starts flourishing, you need to figure out the best way to store vegetables to keep them fresh longer. Luckily, Ikea offers the perfect pantry storage solution for preserving onions and potatoes from your garden. Ikea's KNAGGLIG boxes are the best place to store onions and potatoes."
"Made from natural, untreated, and unfinished pine, these boxes are a stylish, affordable, and lightweight choice for food storage. Onions and potatoes should be stored with a little room to breathe, and these boxes have slats to improve ventilation. Storing your veggies in them can lower the risk of your vegetables molding or rotting. The KNAGGLIG boxes are available in two sizes."
"The best way to keep potatoes fresh is to store them in a cool, dark, and humid place like a pantry or cellar. They will keep longest if the storage environment is kept between 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit and 90-95% humidity, but that might be hard to achieve inside your home. However, you can extend their shelf life if you make sure that the potatoes have adequate air flow and minimal exposure to light and heat."
Ikea's KNAGGLIG boxes are made from natural, untreated, unfinished pine with slatted sides to provide ventilation. The boxes are lightweight, affordable, and stackable, available in 18×12 inch ($19.99) and 9×12 inch ($14.99) sizes suited for onions and potatoes respectively. Onions and potatoes require airflow and minimal light and heat exposure to avoid molding or rotting. Potatoes last longest in cool, dark, humid conditions—ideally 45–50°F and 90–95% humidity—though homes may not reach those levels. Using ventilated pine boxes can extend potato shelf life to two weeks or more depending on temperature and humidity.
