Is the milk still good?

Back when I was a young man, my refrigerator was the nightmare of mothers and epidemiologists everywhere. I kept food until it turned moldy, smelled bad, or started to move. Now, I’m a lot better about tossing old fruit and vegetables.  I know carrots taste better when they’re fresh, oranges are juicier, and celery crunchier. Still, I need help when it came to knowing when some food was past its prime and that’s where StillTasty comes in.

StillTasty gives me the recommended storage length for thousands of foods and beverages. It tells me how to identify when a fruit or vegetable is ripe, how long its good, and how to store it to maximize its freshness. It’s also got a FAQ section where I learned I should never eat the pizza that’s been lying on the coffee table all night long, no matter how tempting.  Dang.
