7 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR VEGGIES FRESH!

 Handling and preserving vegetables is essential to maintain their freshness and nutritional value. ensuring to keep your veggies fresh and healthy is a great way to healthy life.

 Here are some tips:

1. Washing: Rinse vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and contaminants before use.
2. Storage: Keep vegetables in the refrigerator, ideally in the crisper drawer, to maintain freshness. Some vegetables, like potatoes and onions, can be stored in a cool, dry place.
3. Moisture control: Store leafy greens and herbs in a damp paper towel or breathable container to prevent wilting.
4. Separation: Some vegetables produce ethylene gas, which can accelerate spoilage in others. Keep ethylene-producing vegetables (e.g., apples, bananas) away from sensitive ones (e.g., leafy greens, broccoli).
5. Freezing: Blanch vegetables before freezing to preserve their quality and color. Seal them in airtight containers or freezer bags.
6. Canning: Properly canning vegetables in sterilized jars ensures long-term preservation at room temperature.
7. Pickling: Preserving vegetables in vinegar or brine creates pickles, extending their shelf life.
Remember to check the shelf life of each vegetable and use them before they spoil. If you notice any signs of spoilage, such as mold or bad odor, discard them to avoid foodborne illnesses.
