Four Best Ways To Keep Your Fruits Fresh During Harmattan
Here are a few simple tips to help you keep your fruits and vegetables fresh while also reducing the rate at which they dry out.
Select the fresh ones
The first step in ensuring the longest storage life is to select the freshest fruits and vegetables. Green leafy vegetables should be “richly colored” and free of any weak or fading leaves.
Know the conditions
Freshness, type, temperature, ethylene production, and ventilation must all be considered while preserving fresh fruits and vegetables. Many fruits and vegetables store well in the refrigerator, but some, such as potatoes, onions, and garlic, are best kept at cool room temperature.
Wrapping and refrigerating
Wrapping fruits and vegetables can help seal in moisture while also protecting them from dry air. Fruits or vegetables when sealed, whether in zip-top plastic bags, reusable silicone pouches, or containers with tight-fitting lids remain fresher for a longer time.
Soaking in water
Some fruits and vegetables, particularly greens, can be soaked and stored outside or in the refrigerator. This approach may be used to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, such as avocado and leafy greens.
Produces that stay best at room temperature, such as potatoes, onions, and bananas, need air circulation and should be kept out and spaced in a cool, dark place with relatively high humidity and air circulation.
