Vegetables and fruits in the house: growing, buying, storage

If you want to lead a healthy lifestyle, then you need to learn how to handle food in your home. In addition to knowing which products are useful and which are harmful, you should also understand where to store them and how to buy them. The refrigerator is not a place for all products, but even the vegetables that need to be kept cool should first process it well.

The cheapest option to have always healthy and fresh vegetables is to grow them on your own bed. If there are no beds, they use home farms (mini-farms for apartments are already on sale, and if there is no way to start something large, then you can simply grow spices and salads in pots).

If you have a summer house, and you grow some vegetables on it, which too many have appeared during the season of a good harvest, you can make blanks or cook pies from them. Ecsta products can be exchanged with the neighbors for something you need, for example, to ask in return strawberries a little potatoes. If you are not used to changing, and you feel awkward at the same time (although there is nothing wrong with that), you can bake desserts or pies, and then distribute them to your neighbors. Such a simple gesture will help to win their attention and love, therefore, when they have something extra, they will share it too.

If you buy fruits or vegetables in a store, avoid goods in bags. Pre -packed vegetables and fruits (especially those that do not need to be washed) are more expensive, and they are not always as fresh and useful as the goods in the trays.

If you eat “like a chick” and therefore do not have time to use cabbage or a large vegetable before it spoils, consider the possibility of buying frozen vegetables. This is not about semi -finished products, but about simple frozen vegetables (without spices, without additives – only simple freezing of ordinary vegetables). You can consume frozen vegetables in the quantity in which it is convenient for you, and they will be stored for a long time.

Study the methods of proper storage for those products that you buy. Something needs to be stored in the refrigerator, and for some types of food you need a dry place and room temperature.
