Let the vegetables breathe

Most of us believe that our fruits and veggies stay ripe for longer when kept out of the air. But contrary to popular belief, our vegetables also need space to breathe.

So storing them in airtight plastic bags, leaving them no breathing room, is not the best treatment for your store-bought vegetables.
Poke holes in the plastic bag or store them in mesh bags and place them in your refrigerator.

Food storage bags can be bit open by pests or contaminated by bacteria. So make sure you wash and remove all dirt before storing them in the refrigerator.

Plastic grocery bags and food storage bags also have the chances of tearing while shifting food around in the refrigerator, creating conditions for the spread and growth of bacteria.
