How do I store vegetables properly?

0 views

Store vegetables properly to maximize freshness: leafy greens and herbs should be washed, dried, and stored in the refrigerator in a perforated bag with a paper towel to absorb moisture. Root vegetables like carrots and beets do best in the crisper drawer. Tomatoes should stay at room temperature until ripe. Potatoes and onions should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place but not together (onions release gases that spoil potatoes). Mushrooms keep best in a paper bag in the fridge. Most vegetables stay fresh for 3-7 days in the refrigerator.
