Using my Iranian grandma's fridge trick keeps my crisper drawer pristine – and fresh produce lasts twice as long

Beautiful cream kitchen with soft baby pink cabinets and range cooker, hardwood chevron floors, kitchen table island, crittal windows and doors through to dining room and statement crown molding and ceiling lamp.

I lived in Iran as a little girl and spent every summer and school holiday there after we left. That special time living in my grandmother's Tehran apartment influenced my habits for a lifetime.

One thing my grandmother always did was wash every fruit and vegetable as soon as it came home, before drying and putting them in her fridge crisper drawer. It made her product last twice as long and kept that space immaculately clean.
