Cooking produce often reduces nutrient content as well. When you choose fruits and vegetables you want your body to have access to the most vitamins and minerals possible so proper care and preparation of your food is important for this reason. Where you keep your fruits and vegetables has an impact on the amount of vitamins and minerals you are able to get from them. The Cooperative Extension System recommends storing your produce in the refrigerator to preserve nutrition and flavor. One exception is tomatoes, which should be stored at room temperature. If you don't plan to eat your fruits and vegetables within a couple days they should be frozen, which stops nutrient loss until they are thawed.
