minus-squareElRenosaurusReg [fae/faer, comrade/them]hexbear10•10 months agoWash your veggies when you buy them, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a sanitary environment; they'll last much longer this way. I regularly keep my organic veggies for weeks at a time before cooking them with no molds or rotting. It also helps to buy from a growers market where things haven't been in cold storage for months before getting to the store. link
minus-square@BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.eehexbear5•10 months agoWhen you say wash, do you use some sort of cleaner? I rinse mine off and get a week, maybe a week and a half from most of my veggies before they spoil. I also live in a swamp so that might have something to do with it lol linkfedilink
minus-squareElRenosaurusReg [fae/faer, comrade/them]hexbear2•edit-210 months agoI wash with plain water and a little bit of citric acid or vinegar. Keep (unused) silica gel kitty litter in a mesh bag in your fridge to lower the relative humidity, I lived in a swamp for a while too :/ Edit: dry your silica gel in the oven every couple weeks, once it looks like it's losing its transparency. link
