1. Use this kitchen hack for when you have to pit a whole lot of cherries. Next time don't worry about going out and buying a new cherry pitter. For this food hack place a cherry upside down over the spout of a glass bottle with an opening that is smaller than the cherry itself. Then using a chopstick or the back of a skewer poke the cherry pit and stem out while keeping the cherry in one whole piece. This genius food hack will also save you a lot of kitchen cleanup because all of the cherry pits are in the bottle. In a one cup serving of cherries, you will get about 37 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin A, about nine percent Vitamin C, three percent of your daily calcium and 19 percent of your daily recommended iron.

2. This food hack for keeping lettuce dry will save you money. Drying lettuce off before storing is important, but keeping the moisture out can be difficult. If you don't have a fancy container that keeps it dry, you will want to try this kitchen hack. Try placing a paper towel over a clean bowl of lettuce before covering. It will keep the lettuce fresh for up to a week longer. The paper towel will help to soak up all the moisture which is one of the reasons why the lettuce wilts and gets soggy so fast.

3. Next time you have to peel some garlic cloves, you will want to try this excellent kitchen hack. This kitchen hack will peel your garlic in less than 30 seconds. To start to break apart the bulb of the garlic, then put the cloves of garlic in a sealed container. Shake the cloves of garlic vigorously for ten seconds, and get rid of the peels. Some of the garlic cloves may need a second shake. Just sift through the skins and gather up your garlic cloves.

4. For a healthy and delicious snack that the kids will love try freezing grapes. This food life hack tastes just as good as the fresh variety and makes a healthy and nutritious snack any time of the day. You can also use frozen grapes as an alternative to ice cubes in a glass of wine.

5. Try this kitchen hack if you have some cold or hard butter, and you need some soft butter right away for cooking or baking in a pinch. This is a great idea especially if you don't have time to sit and wait for the butter to get at room temperature, and you don't want to risk overheating it in the microwave. If the only butter you have on hand is frozen and use this kitchen hack for grating butter with a box grater, to help it soften fast, that way you can use it on your toast, or for baking immediately.
