Rules for storing food in summer

If you store products properly and not to buy anything unnecessary, it will always eat fresh vegetables in the summer, according to Yulia Lemesheva, senior manager of the operational delivery service of express delivery Perekrestok, writes the publication Prime.

According to her, the berries can be stored normally only three days, after which they begin to sap. You can extend their storage life by keeping them in the refrigerator in a large container and not to touch them unnecessarily. In addition, it is better not to wash fruits and berries before storing them, as water accelerates their deterioration.

Lemesheva recommends keeping vegetables separate from fruits and berries, as some fruits secrete ethylene, which allows them to ripen after picking, but it has a detrimental effect on the vegetables lying next to them.

Zucchini, pumpkin and zucchini specialist recommends storing in a cold place. Cauliflower can be taken apart into florets, put in a jar and sprinkled with coarse salt: this will keep it fresh for a week. And it is recommended to keep potato tubers in the vegetable drawer away from onions and garlic, so that they do not sprout.

It is important not to buy unnecessary, so then do not have to throw away products, said Lemesheva.
