BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -vegetables are much more sensitive to ethylene than fruit, so, always store fruit and vegetables in separate drawers. Otherwise you’ll understand why they say ‘one bad apple will spoil the whole barrel’. Divide all fruit and veg into those that like the cold and those that don’t.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most refrigerated produce stays fresh longer when sealed, whether in zip-top plastic bags, reusable silicone pouches, or containers with tight-fitting lids. These containers hold in moisture, preventing produce from dehydrating, and they help protect sensitive produce from the effects of ethylene gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fresh vegetables stay fresh longer with a bit of humidity: The drawer labeled vegetables or high humidity is the moistest spot in the fridge. Store most produce in the original packaging or in a plastic bag, loosely tied.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Best Way to Organize Your Crisper Drawers Pack your crisper drawers much like you would a grocery bag, with the heavier items on the bottom (carrots), so as to not damage the more delicate produce (fresh herbs).
