You don't have to keep every fruit and vegetable you buy in the fridge anymore thanks to these food storage shelves by Jihyum Ryou.
The food storage shelves are beautifully designed using old world preservation techniques to keep food ripe and test its freshness. For instance, the egg holder shelf includes a drop down cup of water to test the eggs. A ripe egg will always sink in water, so before breaking it open you can check to see its freshness. There is also a set of spice jars equipped with lids that hang down small bags of rice inside the jar. The rice is said to absorb humidity and keep the spices dry. There is even a hybrid apple/potato holder which keeps potatoes in a dark cabinet.
