Produce Prep Tips That Keep Food Fresher Longer

Описание: In this episode of The Flavor Breakdown, we explore one of the most confusing parts of produce storage: should you wash fruits and vegetables before storing them? Some items stay fresher when washed and prepped ahead of time, while others spoil dramatically faster when exposed to moisture. We break down the science behind moisture, microbes, and plant structure so you know exactly when to wash, when to wait, and how to prep produce for maximum freshness.

🥗 What you’ll learn:
• Which fruits and vegetables should NEVER be washed before storing
• When washing actually helps extend shelf life
• Why moisture accelerates mold and spoilage
• How to prep leafy greens for a full week of freshness
• The best way to wash berries, herbs, root vegetables, and thick‑skinned fruits
• Simple prep habits that reduce waste and keep produce crisp longer

Produce prep becomes simple once you understand how moisture interacts with different textures and tissues.
