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.
