I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too.

Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest.

My potatoes are kept in the bag they were bought in. Last a lot longer there than all the other storage solutions I've tried like wooden bins, metal bins and refrigerator.

I mean, you say that, but I once had some carrots which had turned black on the outside and when I peeled them, they still looked and tasted like fresh carrots.
