  That happened to me too. I found out one of the reasons was I had the fridge temperature set a bit too low.
  Our fridges don’t have the same temperature control and atmosphere as commercial cold stores. I have had apples shrivel in my fridge after a few weeks which was set quite cold.

I keep my onions, garlic, potatoes and sweet potatoes in a cupboard, but I have made storage bags out of cotton to store the produce otherwise everything, including the onions and garlic, would get eaten by cockroaches. By keeping everything in cotton bags, the produce can breathe and the cockroaches can’t get in.

  I keep them in paper bags, after making some holes throughout them. Then in the pantry.

The celery wrapped in aluminium foil stays good for a long time.
Ginger can be stored in the freezer and grated from frozen state when needed.
