How to Keep Fruits and Veggies Fresh. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a requirement for every healthy eater.
But when you buy more fresh produce, do you end up throwing away more than you eat? You're not alone. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the average American family of four throws out approximately 25 percent of the food and beverages they buy--amounting to $1,365 to $2,275 annually. Storing fresh produce is a little more complicated than you might think. If you want to prevent spoilage, certain foods shouldn't be stored together at all, while others that we commonly keep in the fridge should actually be left on the countertop.
