6 tips for maintaining fruits and vegetables fresh longer
1. Vinegar to disinfect and sanitize well
A lot of people forget, but vinegar is a great ally in the food. Thus, nutritionists advise that a vinegar water solution is sufficient to remove microorganisms and prolong food life.
After immersion, dry the food well. With a little water and a sponge, you also sanitize the refrigerator drawer to accommodate foods healthier and hygienic.

A lot of people do not know, but the avocado oxidates after being opened and the internal seed removed. Thus, this integral part of the food helps to slow oxidation. To avoid waste, when storing half the avocado, keep the lump together and cover with plastic film to protect the structure.
3. Wash fruits and vegetables only when consuming
The humidity greatly accelerates the process of maturity and also the rotting of the internal fibers. Thus, nutritionists indicate washing fruits and vegetables only when consuming or at the exact moment of preparation. This prolongs life and prevents early rot.
4. Leaves of vegetables and fruits should be wrapped in paper towels
Do you have fruits and vegetables with green leaves in the refrigerator? Wrap with paper towels immediately.
Leaves such as lettuce and arugula, for example, should be dry and wrapped in this paper as it absorbs moisture and prevents decomposition.
5. Seek to store fruits in drilled bags

6. Freezes chopped vegetables
