Nutritious habits that last a lifetime.
 Summer brings with it an abundance of produce. Consider certain guidelines when stocking up to increase freshness. For bunched items, cut off any greens that may pull moisture out of your fruit or vegetable. Examples include beets and carrots. Removing fasteners such as rubber bands helps increase circulation, which aids in maintaining freshness. Finally, avoid washing less hearty varieties of produce, such as strawberries, as this can result in soggy items.
Thanks for the advice. It really helps especially during the lockdown when we have to store in abundance. You can also store greens in boxes so it will stay longer. Other root vegetables can be wrapped in cloth bags or linen. Tomatoes do best without refrigeration. Always store veggies in the box designated for it. Comments are closed.
