HOW TO STORE VEGETABLES





As soon as u get vegetables from shop / market , first separate them and before putting them into covers take a news paper and init put vegetables / leafy vegetables , cover them and then put into covers / air tight containers. Now u can put them into fridge . if u do like this vegetables will be fresh for more than 1 1/2 weeks. ( all the moist that the vegetables have will be absorbed by paper and keeps vegetables fresh







If u r storing leafy vegetables then cut them without washing and then store them in paper. For leafy vege u can store them in cotton cloth. u can see how i am storing coriander.












I got this greenchillies 5days back see how fresh they r.







TRY THIS AND REPLY ME WHETHER IT IS WORKING OR NOT.

    hi preeti,
    its a nice idea. i never used newspapers for storing. i just used to store them in covers or boxes. newspaper idea is really gud. vegetables keeps gud, but coriander and chillies dont be fresh for more days. its really gud.
    thnq for ur nice idea.

    Hi Preeti!
    I came across your site while I was looking for a kakarkaya vepudu/pachidi.
    You have many good recipes.. :) I noted some.. Thank you very much.
    I also looked at the "Vegetable storage" tip and as an Environmental Engineer, I want to tel you that its really a harmful way of storing vegetables. Even putting fried things on a news paper too is a bad idea because there are chances of lead being absorbed by the food/veggies..
    I think the best way to store veggies is by storing them in the crisper in the fridge( I do this and veggies last for more than 10 days). You can write to me at nature_9@rediffmail.com if you have more Qs.
