Green vegetables are an essential food source for every meal, but are easily spoiled if not properly preserved. According to Maangchi.com, a famous culinary blog in Korea, you can keep fresh vegetables for 5-7 days with just a paper towel.
paper towels absorb excess moisture, keeping the moisture level to ensure the vegetables are not waterlogged.
Preventing rapid growth of bacteria - the main cause of vegetable spoilage.
Keep the vegetables crispy and green, avoid softness.
How to do it:
After buying the vegetables, wash them and drain them thoroughly.
Use a dry paper towel or kitchen paper wrapped around a bunch of vegetables.
Place the packaged vegetables in a zip bag or food container with a lid.
Store in the refrigerator.
For perishable vegetables such as mustard greens, lettuce, and herbs: replace the paper towel every 2-3 days to maintain maximum effectiveness.
Avoid keeping vegetables near the freezer or too close to the back of the closet because the deep cold temperature will cause vegetables to "cold-burn".
With this simple tip, you will not only save money but also maintain food quality throughout a busy week.
