Vegetables

In the refrigerator, you should always store the following vegetables: green beans, peas, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli and cauliflower, mushrooms, corn, cucumbers, peppers.

Many are convinced that the greens should be stored in a non-clean way, in this case, it lasts longer. But if the dill, parsley or cilantro are well rinsed, and then dried and stored in a bowl on a paper towel, the effect will be the same. Sometimes people buy too much vegetation at the same time, but most of them are not used as food and put in a garbage bag.
