The best ways to prevent food from decaying (Answer of Q.29))

To make less food waste, it is important to learn some methods to prevent food from decaying. This time I will consider some methods to keep the food fresh and make less food waste.

For example, apples have to be packed with plastic bags and refrigerated to prevent them from drying up. Surprisingly, we have to pay attention not to refrigerate apples with other vegetables or fruits; ethylene, the components in apples, can promote other vegetables or fruits ripening faster. So we should separate apples from other vegetables or fruits to prevent them from decaying.

Another example is cabbages; they are one of the vegetables whose parts of them can be wasted because cabbages are in big shape. To prevent them from decaying, you have to take three steps; first, hollow out the cores. Next, pack some pieces of kitchen paper into them. Lastly, wrap them with newspapers or some pieces of kitchen paper and refrigerate them. Then the cabbages can keep fresh longer than usual.

These are some of the tips to keep vegetables fresh longer. I think that the sites I referred to are trustworthy because they are the sites that treats vegetables and fruits in actual. Let's take actions to make less food waste.
