| Natural Ways To Keep Food Fresh Longer
Vegetables and fruits give off a gas called ethylene as they ripen. The ethylene sets off a chain reaction that causes the release of more ethylene, causing the food to ripen further. When fruits and vegetables are exposed to ethylene, they ripen faster. Some fruits and vegetables give off more ethylene than others - and some of them are more sensitive to ethylene than others. 1. Ethylene producers include apricots, avocados, bananas, cantaloupes, honeydew melons, kiwis, mangoes, nectarines, papayas, peaches, pears, plums, and tomatoes. 2. Fruits and vegetables that are sensitive to the effects of ethylene include: apples, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, lettuce and other greens, potatoes, summer squash, and watermelons. 3. To keep fresh fruits and vegetables fresh longer, do not store any of the former group n the same drawers as those in the latter group. 4. Store fruits and vegetables in the warmest part of your fridge to preserve flavor. 5. Remove produce from plastic bags before storing. The bags trap the ethylene close to the fruit so that it ripens faster. 6.Wash produce and then dry well before storing. Moisture speeds rotting.
