Fresh vegetables taste best eaten quickly, but proper storage can add days of freshness.

Key Points

  • Do not wash leafy vegetables before storing; wash them just before cooking so they do not wilt quickly.
  • Wrap them in a damp cloth or kitchen towel and put them in a ventilated container in the vegetable drawer.
  • Keep vegetables apart from fruit that releases ripening gas, such as bananas and apples.
  • Check daily and remove yellowing leaves so they do not spread to the rest.

Shopping a little but often is the easiest way to keep the table fresh.
