You have an abundance of fresh vegetables. But how do you store them to make them last? There are three places that vegetables like to be stored: the fridge, a dark “cellar” like atmosphere, and on the counter. The majority of fresh vegetables that will be used within a week or two of receiving want to be in an airtight bag or container in the fridge. Vegetables that can last longer, like potatoes, onions, and winter squash want to be in a dark, cool place. Only a couple of vegetables really do well on the counter and those are fruits like tomatoes or melons.
But don’t worry, we’ve got it all broken down for you by vegetable and where to store them in this storage resource. Feel free to download it and print it out so you have it on hand when those fresh vegetables come your way!
