Food Institute warns against washing vegetables before storage
The article discussed a warning issued by a researcher at the Food Technology Institute, emphasizing the importance of not washing vegetables and fruits before storing them in the refrigerator; instead, they should be washed only immediately before use. She confirmed that vegetables and fruits continue to respire after harvesting, so it is recommended to store them in perforated bags that allow airflow, and to use a dry sponge to absorb moisture, which can promote bacterial growth. Additionally, she pointed out that the refrigerator is used for short-term cooling, while the freezer is more effective for long-term preservation. She also warned against opening the refrigerator door frequently during the summer, as this causes temperature fluctuations and increases the risk of food spoilage.
