Simple and ever-lasting tricks to keep fruits and vegetables afresh

The best beach days, cooling smoothies, cotton wears, coolers, sunscreen, welcoming fruits, color of white, orange, red and green are seen everywhere- hurray! Its summer time kiddo. Summer season comes bearing the color of joy and those colors are spotted in the reflected seasonal fruits and vegetables. The welcoming approach is not same in India due to scorching sun and incredible sweats. The most difficult situation of summer is to procure fresh stocks which will not last longer due to heat. Summer is the giver of delicious produce yet the destroyer of the own. A few produces lose the form of moldy, bruise and wilted before reaching the customers. It is better to order the fruits and veggies rather than buying from shops. Shops have people’s touch and long exposure to light. For which you need to know the easy tricks to keep produces fresh and ever-lasting during summer seasons.

Wash the greens in cold water

Give the green splashes an ice-bath which is an effective way of locking the moisture. This avoids the wilted appearance of greens tend to take after some time. All you need to do is to wash greens in ice-cold water, followed by pat dry them in some paper towel. Now place the clean and dried greens in an air-tight container.

Not hot water therapy

So, we did a cold water therapy, now its time for hot water therapy also known as thermotherapy. It is a produce hack of introducing berries to hot water to make them last. Also, to save from fungus formation, this will be the great way to killing off any mold spores on your stock of berries and thus making them last longer. After cleaning, place them in a towel and allow them to breath before storing.

Freeze some fruits and vegetables

An effective strategy for keeping your fruits and vegetables fresh and longer involves freezing them. We have seen our desi families store maximum of the fruits and veggies in the refrigerator. Produce like bell pepper, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, strawberries, mushrooms, green beans and bunch of other fresh fruits and vegetables can be stored. Just carry out mindful blanching in hot water before you stick in the below-freezing temperature. This is essential to neutralize bacteria and delay the decay process.

Never – never store tomatoes in refrigerator

This could really be shocking for desi household culture. Actually, what we believe is contrary to the reality. Storing tomatoes in fridge have an opposite effect of what you are striving for. Exposure to cold temperature drains tomatoes of their natural flavor. It also ruins the texture and taste of the produce. So, store tomatoes in a bowl lined with paper towel with stem up away from heat or direct sunlight in room temperature.

Wrap in paper and store in freezer

If you want to consume fresh and novel produce rich in nutrients, you are supposed to consume it ideally within 1-3 days of purchase. Sometimes, it doesn’t work and storing is the viable option to extend their life and nutrient. Place the unwashed produce in paper towel, allow the towel to absorb excess moisture and put it in a plastic bag and store it in fridge. Have a separate bag for each vegetable.
