How this list is ordered

76 foods in this category have a page here, ranked by the figure each row prints: how long it keeps outside the freezer. Coconut, shredded leads at 1 year in the pantry and 2 foods share the bottom at 1–4 days in the fridge, a spread of 365 times across one shelf. 3 pages here (Tomatoes, Squash and Berries) carry kinds rather than one figure, so they sit at the end without a place in the order.
