Vegetables are indispensable food in people's daily lives, but the shelf life of vegetables is relatively short. If they are not stored well, they will easily deteriorate and rot. In order to keep vegetables fresh, you can use a refrigerator to keep them fresh. Here are some ways to keep vegetables fresh in the refrigerator.
1. Wash the vegetables first, drain the water, then put them into a plastic bag, squeeze out the air as much as possible, then tie the bag tightly and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator.
2. Try to avoid mixing vegetables and fruits in the same refrigerator, because fruits will release ethylene, which will accelerate the deterioration of vegetables.
3. If the vegetable has many leaves, you can remove the leaves and keep only the rhizome, which can reduce the rate of decay.
4. Different types of vegetables have different storage times. For example, leafy vegetables (such as spinach, rape, etc.) have a shorter storage time and can only be stored for 3-4 days, while root vegetables (such as carrots, etc.) Potatoes, leeks, etc.) have a longer storage time and can be stored for 7-10 days.
5. Place a fresh-keeping box in the refrigerator to facilitate the storage of vegetables. It can better isolate vegetables, reduce air contact, and extend the storage time.
6. Cut the vegetables in advance and put them in the refrigerator crisper, so that you can take them out directly every time you use them, which is convenient and fast. But remember, chopped vegetables have a short shelf life and should be eaten as soon as possible.
7. If you want to keep a lot of vegetables fresh, you can open the refrigerator a little larger and lower the temperature to 2-3 degrees, so that the vegetables will be kept fresh better.
In short, vegetables are an essential part of our diet. In order to keep them fresh, we need to take appropriate measures to preserve them. When storing vegetables in the refrigerator, you need to pay attention to the preparation of the fresh-keeping environment, as well as the selection of vegetable types and the planning of storage time, so as to ensure the taste and nutrition of vegetables and bring us health and deliciousness.
