[post_page_title]Root cellar[/post_page_title]
Root cellars are underground structures that were used to store food, often throughout the winter months. This storage space would keep fruits, vegetables, nuts and other foods fresh for weeks to months thanks to the steady temperature and humidity levels created in the dark, cool space. Contemporary food distribution and refrigeration has rendered root cellars “old-fashioned,” but they are still used by farmers and environmental enthusiasts around the world. It’s the most natural way to keep food fresh!
