How to Store Produce in the Refrigerator with the help of the BerryBreeze

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the average American family of four throws out approximately 25 percent of the food and beverages they buy–amounting from $1,300 to $2,200 dollars annually.

Storing fresh produce is a little more complicated than you might think. If you want to prevent spoilage, certain foods shouldn’t be stored together at all, while others that we commonly keep in the fridge should actually be left on the countertop. To keep all your produce optimally fresh (and cut down on food waste), use the handy guide below, which includes fruits and veggies that can be stored outside of the refrigerator.

Today we’ll be talking about produce that is best stored in the refrigerator, using the following guidelines:

• Select the freshest produce. This might seem obvious, but it is worth emphasizing that fresher, higher-quality produce will last longer in your refrigerator.

• Minimize physical damage. Cuts and bruises damage the cell walls of your vegetables and open them up to spoilage by microbes. The bad news is that it takes just one rotten piece of produce to spread disease to other veggies.

• Dirt is good. It’s okay for root vegetables like carrots and artichokes to have a little dirt on them while storing.

• Avoid cutting or trimming. Whole veggies and fruits are always preferable to bite-size chunks, at least as far as storage goes.

• Keep produce in perforated plastic bags or in an open grocery produce bag in the produce drawer of the refrigerator.

• Avoid condensation and sweating. You can definitely get too much of a good thing. Excess moisture can encourage things to get slimy. A paper towel wrapped around leafy greens and then placing it in a produce bag can be useful to absorb excess moisture without allowing things to get too dry.

• Keep fruits and vegetables separate, in different drawers or shelves, because ethylene can build up in the fridge, causing spoilage.

• When storing herbs (and interestingly, asparagus, too), snip off the ends, store upright in a glass of water (like flowers in a vase), cover with a plastic bag.

Even following these tips Microorganisms can still Make Food Spoil! How many times have you opened your fridge to find moldy fruits and limp veggies? What about that not-so-fresh smell in your fridge? Did you know your refrigerator has bacteria growing at 1 billion units per second?
