Some improper preservation methods will cause fruits and vegetables to spoil easily and lose nutrients.
If there are many people who love meat, many people only like vegetables and fruits, so they should save a lot to eat gradually. The refrigerator is considered an ideal location to store a large number of vegetables and fruits safely. But some improper preservation methods make fruits and vegetables easy to spoil and lose nutrients.
1. Wash before putting in the fridge Many women have the habit of picking up and washing vegetables and fruits thoroughly, then storing them in the refrigerator for easy eating, saving time for preliminary processing. However, as a general rule, it is advisable to limit washing fruits and vegetables before storing them in the refrigerator. We should only wash when preparing to bring out for processing. The reason is that the previous washing will increase the moisture on the surface, easy to cause mold, stimulate the growth of bacteria, so it will make vegetables and fruits spoil quickly. It’s best to leave it on after you buy it, and then put it in the fridge. It should only be washed before being processed or eaten raw. 2. Put it all in the fridge In fact, not all fruits and vegetables need to be stored in the refrigerator. Some varieties, if put in the refrigerator, may lose their taste. For example, tomatoes, the cold in the refrigerator will slow down ripening. Or watermelon in the refrigerator is easy to lose antioxidants and some other nutrients. Onions can become soft and even moldy if left in the fridge for a long time. 3. Not sorting vegetables Another bad habit can lead to a “chain reaction” that causes a variety of vegetables to be damaged or lose nutrients. Moreover, one fruit can produce ethylene (a substance that stimulates the ripening of fruits), so placing them near certain other fruits and vegetables can cause them to spoil quickly. 4. Too much substance has no space Storing too many vegetables in a layering fashion, stacking bags on top of each other in the refrigerator is really not good. Besides, the substance is not too long because depending on the type of vegetable, the preservation time is different. To ensure the nutrition of fruits and vegetables, when taken out of the refrigerator, they should be processed immediately, not in the outdoor environment for a long time. It is not beneficial to put vegetables out for a while and not use them again in the refrigerator.
