We definately think
that the right way to store vegetables is to put
into the refrigerator to keep it
fresh. But it was not all foods can be stored in the refrigerator. Here are five examples:
1. Tomato
Technically tomato is a fruit, but closer is referred to as a vegetable. If you've planted
tomatoes, then you will know that tomatoes love
the heat and hate
the cold. Apparently even after being picked, tomatoes still can not
stand the cold. The fridge
is not a suitable place to store tomatoes. Tomatoes
stored in the refrigerator to wither and although
it still can be used for cooking,
but not to be eaten fresh. Keep it on the
kitchen table (but not in direct sunlight) and enjoy the time was ripe.
2. Basil
Just like tomato, basil also like the
heat, so if stored in a cool place would cause
the basil wilt prematurely. Basil will
be in a condition best if kept on the kitchen table and treated like fresh flowers. Handful of basil can be
stored in a cup of water (change the water
every day or
every other day) and away from
sunlight. Wrap loosely with a plastic bag to
keep it moist (but make sure the plastic has
a hole for the entrance of fresh air).
3.
Potato
Potatoes are well kept at a cool temperature but not cold temperatures can make
frozen. Potatoes are well kept in a temperature of about 7.2 degrees Celsius, about
10 degrees warmer than the refrigerator in general. Most of us do not have a cellar
(the dark and cold temperature to store root vegetables such as potato tubers),
so storing potatoes in a paper bag in a cool place (like a closet food) is the
best.
Why paper? Because paper has more pores for benapas, unlike plastic. So potatoes
will not rot easily. And why not a refrigerator? Storing potatoes in the
refrigerator can convert the starch into simple sugars, which can affect the taste,
texture, and process maturity.
4.
Onions
Onions out of the ground with a thin protective skin. To create and maintain a thin
layer of skin, onions need a "cure" and stored in a dry place such as
food storage cabinets, which are not selembap refrigerator. In addition, the lack
of air circulation can make a rotten onion. Therefore below should not be
stored near potatoes, which emit gases and moisture and can cause onion rot faster.
Keep onions in cold rooms, dry, dark and well ventilated. (Light can cause a
bitter taste of onions). But not all the onions should be treated equally. Leek
and chives have a high water content and more easily damaged, so it must be
stored in the refrigerator.
5. Avocado
