Here are some tips to keep your veggies fresh for longer during the monsoon season.

Monsoon season brings its share of troubles. Parents worry about kids getting sick, commuters face messy roads, and ladies fret over smudged makeup. Homemakers have their own worry: veggies spoiling quickly. But follow these tips to keep your veggies fresh even during the rains.

Wash veggies in turmeric water before storing. Poke holes in plastic bags for veggies like green chilies, capsicum, radish, and carrots to prevent moisture buildup.

Leafy greens like spinach, cilantro, and mint can be tricky to store during the monsoon. Trim the roots, wash and dry them thoroughly, then wrap them in a cloth or paper towel before refrigerating.

Store potatoes and onions in a dry place to prevent sprouting during the monsoon.

Don't store fruits and vegetables together. Ripening fruits release ethylene gas, which can shorten the lifespan of vegetables. Store them separately.

A clean fridge is crucial, especially during the monsoon. Bacteria can thrive in a dirty fridge and spoil vegetables quickly. Clean your fridge with a vinegar and baking soda solution.
