Moisture speeds up spoilage. Wash vegetables only before use, not before storing.
Store veggies in perforated plastic bags, mesh bags, or airtight containers to maintain humidity balance.
Fruits like bananas, apples, and tomatoes release ethylene gas that ripens vegetables faster. Keep them apart.
For leafy greens, wrap in paper towels and store in a zip-lock bag or container to absorb extra moisture.
Remove any spoiled or overripe vegetable immediately to prevent it from affecting the rest.
