Without unnecessary loss for food
Did you know that a banana, an avocado, a mango should not be stored in a refrigerator? Because of this circumvention, they lose not only the appearance, but also useful substances. There are many such secrets. Potatoes, carrots, beets must be stored in a cool dark place. Well, if the insulated balcony has a special tightly closed box. Purely fruits, wilted parts of plants emit plant hormone ethylene, which provokes rapid aging of vegetables and fruits. Often, sort out fruits and vegetables and get rid of even slightly spoiled as quickly as possible. Ethylene is actively excreted by apples, so they must be stored separately from all other stocks. But certainly in a well-ventilated room (if they are packed or covered tightly, then you risk losing all the fruits at once). Extremely sensitive to ethylene cabbage (white, colored, Brussels), broccoli, kiwi, mango. Do not like its effects and tomatoes, cucumbers, pears, bananas, nectarines, avocados. And onions, potatoes, paprika and leafy vegetables are also afraid. Try to pack all vegetables and fruits separately, after washing and drying. Green salad can not stand the cold. If you just throw it in the fridge, a "burn" appears on the leaves. The frozen salad will become wet, turn black. There will be practically no vitamins in it. Throw out without regret! Do not buy fruits with dark spots: there are fewer useful elements in them than in whole ones. But do not be tempted by the ideal beauty of the harvest. Focus on naturalness!
