There is nothing worse than buying several fruits and vegetables and after a few days see that they are no longer in such good condition. This is worse in warmer climates, where almost nothing lasts in the face of the awesome heat. The good news is that there are certain tricks to combat these problems that you surely did not know. We bring you 10 tricks on how to keep fruits and vegetables fresh and last longer.
1. Asparagus
Asparagus need a bit of moisture at the bottom of the stem. You just have to put them in a glass with water and they will keep in good condition for much longer.
2. Tomatoes
Cover them with paper and store them in a compartment where there are only vegetables. You will notice a big difference.
3. Strawberries
Strawberries last much longer if they are not close together on top of each other so a good option is to use an egg one.
4. Cucumbers
Cucumbers can increase their shelf life if you cover them with a damp gauze (which you should change daily) and you put them in the vegetable compartment.
5. Peppers
To preserve the peppers, wrap them in paper or paper towels absorbent to absorb moisture that may exist on your skin.
6. Cauliflower
It is the same method as that of asparagus and dip the stem in water.
7. Avocados
The best way to store avocados is in a resealable bag and place in the refrigerator once they are ripe. If they are not ripe yet, you can leave them at room temperature wrapped in newspaper.
8. Eggplants
Eggplants are sensitive to changes in light, so it is necessary to put them in the refrigerator covered with a cloth that provides darkness.
9. Broccoli
The best way to preserve broccoli is to dip its stem in a little water. Change the water in the glass regularly and you will have no problems.
10. Carrots
