Store fresh oranges with sand

If your house has sand, prepare a small container, cover with a thin layer of sand, then put oranges in turn. Every layer of orange covers a layer of sand. When arranging, remember to turn the orange stalk up.

You can also incorporate the use of hydrated lime on the orange stem and then put in the sand to keep the oranges fresh longer. Place the orange barrel in a dry, airtight place.
