Three tips on how to keep your greens fresher longer

 After you buy piles of fresh veggies and bring them home, you often just throw them in the fridge and leave them alone. A few days later, you take them out again only to find that they've wilted or even rotted? And the nutrition has been lost more than half. Now I share with you three tips to teach you how to keep vegetables fresh for a long time.

First, keep your greens dry. If you are not going to consume them right away, then please don't rush to wash them. Because it's hard to get cleaned greens completely dry, and moisture tends to harbor bacteria.

Second, give your vegetables plenty of space. Instead of wrapping them up tightly, give them enough space to allow air to circulate. Vegetables need to breathe too, but that doesn't mean you don't have to wrap them at all, especially if you have fruits in your fridge that aren't wrapped.

Why? We know that many fruits emit ethylene gas, which acts as a ripening agent and eventually causes them to rot. So the ideal approach is to put the vegetables in a plastic bag - this is a trick - and then use a big pin in the plastic bag around about 10 holes, so that the vegetables will be able to retain freshness for a longer period of time.

Third, vegetables love paper towels. Yes, paper towels can soak up moisture on the surface of vegetables, so wrap them in paper towels and store them in a plastic bag, but remember to leave the bag unsealed. Or, wrap the vegetables and then put them in the fridge in the veggie box, but put a towel underneath the veggie box.

If you have mastered the above three tips, then, congratulations, your vegetables will be longer lasting freshness.
