How to keep fruits and vegetables fresh without preservatives
Wrapping banana stems with plastic wrap, placing apples in potato bags... will help preserve these fruits longer.
1. Place paper towels inside the bag of vegetables
 |
Many housewives still have the habit of washing vegetables and then putting them in the refrigerator. This way makes your vegetables easy to rot because of the amount of water remaining on the vegetables. Place a paper towel under the container or inside the bag to absorb the water, helping the vegetables stay fresh and last longer.
2. Wrap the banana stem with plastic wrap
 |
Bananas tend to turn black if left for a long time. But if you wrap a layer of plastic wrap around the stem, the bananas will stay fresh for 3-5 days longer. Another way to keep bananas fresh is to not separate them until they are ready to be eaten.
3. Put apples in a bag of potatoes
 |
Potatoes tend to sprout if you leave them out for a long time, which is not good for your health. The best way to stop this is to put an apple in there. Apples produce ethylene gas, which helps potatoes stay fresh for a few weeks.
4. Do not store apples with other fruits.
 |
Ethylene gas may be good for potatoes but not for most other fruits and vegetables. Store apples in a separate bag in the refrigerator. You will find that your other fruits and vegetables will last much longer.
5. Wash strawberries with vinegar
 |
To keep strawberries fresh longer, wash them in a mixture of one cup vinegar and three cups water before putting them in the refrigerator. This will kill any mold or mildew. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly before storing.
6. Do not store tomatoes in the refrigerator.
 |
This will ruin the original flavor of the tomatoes and reduce their nutritional value. It is best to keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7. Leave the mushrooms in the paper
 |
Moisture is harmful to mushrooms, which is why you should roll them in a paper bag to help keep them clean and dry.
