Many of us buy vegetables from the market and wash everything before putting them in the fridge. It feels like the right thing to do, but it can actually make your vegetables spoil faster.
The better option is to remove any dirt, keep the vegetables dry, place them in a clean Tupperware container, and store them in the fridge. Then, wash only the quantity you need when you're ready to cook.
If you prefer washing your vegetables before storing them, that's okay too. Just make sure they are completely dry before placing them in the container. Any leftover moisture can create condensation—the tiny water droplets that form inside the container. That extra moisture can shorten the freshness of your vegetables.
Watch the video until the end because I explain what condensation means and why understanding it can help you keep your vegetables fresh for longer.
