Keep fruits and vegetables fresh for days without spoiling: This method extends shelf life
Fruits and vegetables spoil if they are not consumed in a short time after shopping at the market. While keeping them in the fridge is not a solution, the shelf life of fruits in particular is getting shorter because the correct storage method is not used. Foods such as bananas, tomatoes, peaches, potatoes, avocados, green beans, kale, broccoli, mushrooms, and asparagus spoil in a short time. Here is a practical method for keeping fruits and vegetables in the fridge for a long time without spoiling…
In order to keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer, they must first be preserved more correctly. Experts state that fruits and vegetables stored in plastic bags spoil more quickly. Plastic bags disrupt the moisture balance of foods and accelerate rotting. Instead, wrapping fruits and vegetables individually in paper towels allows moisture to be absorbed and keep them fresher for longer.
Another reason why fruits and vegetables spoil easily in the refrigerator is that they are placed haphazardly in the refrigerator. Stacking fruits and vegetables one under the other or on top of the other prevents air circulation. Instead, you can place fruits and vegetables in a single row in a bed so that they do not touch each other. Alternatively, you can balance the humidity with a moisture-absorbing cloth placed in the vegetable section.
The material of the containers used to store fruits and vegetables is very important. Plastic containers cause moisture to be trapped inside because they do not allow air to pass through. Metal containers can be harmful to health in case of contact with cold. Glass containers help preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables by creating a natural environment.
