When you get home from the grocery store, this preparation will prolong the life of your produce and prevent rot and mold for a longer period of time!
Celery - Wrap in aluminum foil. You will be amazed at how much longer it will stay fresh.
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, oranges, mangoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc. ~
Here's how you can wash as well as prevent your berries from going bad in a day or so:
1. Pour at least 1/2 cup white vinegar into a large bowl, basin, or sink.
2. Soak one kind of produce for at least 5 minutes, covered in vinegar water. I reuse that same water for other produce.
3. Rinse and drain in colander.
4. Place one or two paper towels inside a Ziplock bag to absorb moisture from each type of washed fruit.
5. You can reuse the bag for next time. Just rinse out with water.
Melon - My holistic doctor told me when the listeria outbreak occurred with cantaloupe that it can be prevented. She said to saturate a dish cloth with hydrogen peroxide, cover the surface of melon with it, and let it set for ten minutes. That would get rid of the danger of listeria, she said.
