How to Keep Vegetables Fresh for Weeks

-

 Food waste is a major problem in many households, and most of it comes from spoiled produce. Learning how to store your vegetables correctly can save you money and keep your meals healthy. Here are the ultimate kitchen secrets to keeping your veggies fresh:

1) Leafy Greens (Gotukola, Spinach): Wash them, dry them completely using a paper towel, and store them in an airtight container lined with a dry paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

2) Potatoes and Onions: Never store them together! Onions produce ethylene gas, which causes potatoes to sprout and spoil faster. Keep them in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place.

3) Tomatoes: Keep them on the counter, not in the fridge. Refrigeration destroys their flavor and changes their texture to become mealy.

Listen to the Audio Guide Here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E_vXZ2oicaRIRg5tY0a89RycfCs--PlR/view?usp=drivesdk We have all been there—you taste your dish right before serving, and something is terribly wrong. Don't panic and throw it away! Most kitchen mishaps can be easily fixed with a little food science. Here is how you can rescue your meal: 1) Too Salty?: If your curry or soup is too salty, add a peeled, raw potato or a piece of starch like white bread. It will absorb the excess salt. Alternatively, dilute it with a splash of water, unsalted broth, or coconut milk. 2) Too Spicy?: If you accidentally added too much chili powder, neutralize the heat by adding dairy (like yogurt or cream) or a dash of sugar or lime juice. Fats like butter or coconut milk also help reduce spiciness.
