# Anti-Fridge Food Storage These Sleek Food Storage Shelves Alleviate the Need to Fill Your Fridge By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-12-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-storage-shelves References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/11/28/fresh-food-without-a-fridge/) & [savefoodfromthefridge](http://www.savefoodfromthefridge.com/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anti-fridge Storage:** Demand for food storage options that do not require refrigeration will continue to grow. - **Old World Preservation Techniques:** Sustainability-focused consumers will be drawn to products that incorporate traditional food preservation methods. - **Multi-purpose Food Storage Solutions:** Versatile and customizable food storage solutions will see increased popularity in the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliances:** Technological advances in non-electronic food storage options will disrupt the traditional kitchen appliance market. - **Home Decor:** The intersection of food storage and home decor will create disruptive opportunities for brands that can combine functionality with aesthetics. - **Sustainability:** The trend towards sustainable living will create opportunities in the food storage space as consumers seek alternatives to traditional plastic containers and refrigeration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rotating Food Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saveit.md) - [Food Preservation Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beko.md) - [Green Produce-Preserving Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshworks-produce-saver.md) - [Traditional Food Preservation Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-food-storage-container.md) - [Ultraviolet Food Storage Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolet-food-storage.md) - [Sleek Food Display Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kollect-smart.md) - [Space-Saving Storage Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kossebar.md) - [Refrigerator Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-shelf-life-extender.md) - [Elegant Airtight Herb Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herb-storage-container.md)
