During the rainy season, it's important to store potatoes in a dry, well-ventilated space. Avoid keeping them in damp or humid areas to prevent early spoilage.
Wrapping potatoes in newspaper or paper reduces moisture accumulation, helping to prevent rotting and prolonging freshness.
Check the potatoes frequently to spot any signs of rotting. If you find a rotten one, remove it immediately to prevent it from affecting the others.
Another effective method is to bury potatoes in dry soil, which helps them stay fresh and prevents them from rotting.
Store potatoes in a well-ventilated basket or container to allow airflow, which reduces moisture and prevents spoilage.
Opt for mesh bags or containers with holes that allow ventilation, keeping the potatoes fresh for a longer period.
Before storing, spread the potatoes out to dry thoroughly. This ensures they remain fresh and don't rot as quickly.
