Um sweaty dry beans are shelf stable for five years ☝️🤓
How can my beans be sweaty and dry?
Same as the girls I hit on at the gym.
Avocados are the worst offenders in another way — they turn from unripe to overripe in a matter of single day it seems, and the only way to check the ripeness is to cut them up. No other fruit pulls this trickery.
Have you heard about looking under the stem to check ripeness?
No, but now I’ll try that, thank you!
Someone has never seen a pawpaw fruit then..
Frozen veggies are cheap and healthy and can weather many ice ages in the back of the freezer before being rediscovered
Wash your veggies when you buy them, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a sanitary environment; they'll last much longer this way.
I regularly keep my organic veggies for weeks at a time before cooking them with no molds or rotting.
It also helps to buy from a growers market where things haven't been in cold storage for months before getting to the store.
When you say wash, do you use some sort of cleaner? I rinse mine off and get a week, maybe a week and a half from most of my veggies before they spoil. I also live in a swamp so that might have something to do with it lol
I wash with plain water and a little bit of citric acid or vinegar.
Keep (unused) silica gel kitty litter in a mesh bag in your fridge to lower the relative humidity, I lived in a swamp for a while too :/
Edit: dry your silica gel in the oven every couple weeks, once it looks like it's losing its transparency.
This, and don’t discount the effect of good airflow. People need to stop storing fruits and veggies in plastic; it just traps moisture and promotes rot. I got these mesh bags that really increased their shelf/refrigerator life.
Store your avocados in the fridge in a bowl/tupperware of water. They will ripen much much slower. Like 5x I swear.
Yeah because even bacterias don't want that junk lol
