Periodic table of storing produce

Have you ever grabbed a musty garlic clove, or had a green bell pepper ooze through your fingers when you pull it of the bag? Everyone has had an avocado or potato go past its prime. I find it ideal to shop according to the seasons. Once you get your bounty home, what are good rules of thumb to keep fresh and ready as long as possible? I came across the following cute Periodic Table of Produce in Simple Life magazine. It's a novel, practical approach. I even tore my copies out for future reference, but thought that you might like to take a look at them here first. I scanned them in and the full table is after the jump. The images are big, so you may have to be patient for the few seconds it takes for the images to load.


These are pages 40 and 41, slightly cropped for file size; they can be found in Simple Life, fall 2006

I bought this mag for this piece of info since I thought it might be helpful over at my blog. Unfortunetly they do not have a copy at their site like they normally do.
