During this Stay Home period, it's advisable to buy and store a week's, two weeks', or even a month's worth of vegetables and food in advance. However, even though we buy and store a lot like that, it can be upsetting when the vegetables rot or wilt after just a day or two.
For homemakers, we'd like to share some great tips on how to solve these problems and keep your vegetables and fruits fresh for a long time.
Let's look at how to keep carrots and Chinese celery fresh for a long time.
First, cut the carrots and Chinese celery into strips. Put the carrots into one glass bottle, and put the Chinese celery into another glass bottle. Add water to the bottles until the vegetables are submerged. Then, close the bottles tightly with their lids.
Because they are kept in water, the Chinese celery will stay fresh for exactly two weeks, while the carrots will keep for up to a month.
Strawberries
Some strawberries may have blemishes or imperfections. Instead of throwing them away, soak them in ice water for about 20 minutes. The dark spots and blemishes will disappear, and the fruit will become firm and its color will brighten.
