How to Store Vegetables

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

 

I am new to this forum and waiting for delivery of the books I ordered on

Raw foodism. I have some questions, however and hope you can help me with

them.

 

I am single so when I go to the store to buy vegetables, I end up with a

large quantity of them so that I have a variety to choose from. This means

that I need to store them for a period of time in the fridge before they are

all used up. So far, I have been leaving tham in the plastic bags I gather

them in at the store. I've noticed that certain vegies like cucumbers or

zucchini don't do too well in the bags.

 

How do you store your vegies? I have humidity controlled bins in my

refrigerator and don't know how to set the humidity for best results.

 

Anyone got any tips or hints on how I can manage to preserve the quality of

my produce for as long as possible?

 

Many thanks,

Sharon B.

Many years ago I served on those great white passenger ships that sailed

the world.

Vegetables were stored at 40 degrees Farenheight. I remember the

ventilation officer

telling me that it was important to avoid any fluctuation in

temperature. The circulation

of air in all storing was considered important.

 

As I recall we could keep a lettuce fresh from Japan to Hawaii which was

11 days.

 

Upshot is that you should be OK for quite a few days with a refrigerator

with the

wrapping removed

 

Hope this helps
