Keeping Food Fresh

Salad for Lunch

This topic has been discussed repeatedly, and everyone thinks they have the answer.

Today, I removed some items from my fridge that I bought on June 26th, 16 days ago. They were all fresh and usable in a salad, except for one.

This is how they were stored:

• Avocado 🥑 in a plastic tub

• Lettuce 🥬 in a lock-n-lock tub, with some space around the lettuce inside

• Tomatoes 🍅 in a lock-n-lock tub

• Half a capsicum pepper 🫑 in cling film

• Cucumber 🥒 in a bees wax wrap

• Limes 🍋‍🟩 10 limes in a plastic bag

Only the cucumber had gone mouldy. Everything else has kept well due to the fridge’s temperature, which is usually around 3-4 degrees.
