How much of it can we waste? It is important to take good care of them so they remain fresh and come in use when you need them. 

You wouldn’t find many people who’d advise you on how to keep your vegetables fresh. Don’t feel helpless. DreamStream is all set to come up with the best suggestions based on the ideas of the other ‘Dreamers’ who share their experiences, problems and solutions on the portal that could help you solve your own. Here are a few tips on how to keep your vegetables fresh and healthy:
  1. Set the temperature of your fridge according your need first.
  2. Use plastic utensils to keep your fruits inside the fridge and cover it with a netted cover.
  3. Use plastic bags to store vegetables and allow passage of wind by making tiny holes on the cover using sharp objects.
  4. Keeping fruits and vegetables together will result in the formation of ethylene, an odorless, tasteless gas. The amount of gas produced in some vegetables is greater than that of others. And this gas results in faster ripening of fruits and vegetables resulting in bad vegetables. Hence keep fruits and vegetables in two different drawers.
  5. In case of herbs, cut the bottom part and keep it inside water like that of a flower vase so it will remain fresh for long.
Next time, don’t frown at the spoilt veggies, instead take precautions!
