How to Store Vegetables the Right Way to Preserve Nutrition

Did you know that vitamin C can degrade by up to 50% if vegetables are stored incorrectly at room temperature for more than 2–3 days (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2021)? Proper storage is crucial, and starting with DeliverX’s purified vegetables helps retain freshness and nutrients.

1. Start with Clean Vegetables

DeliverX vegetables are already purified, reducing microbial growth and making storage safer and more effective.

2. Temperature and Humidity

• Leafy greens: 1–4°C, wrapped in paper to absorb moisture

• Root vegetables: cool, dark fridge drawer

• Tomatoes & peppers: avoid chilling below 10°C

Proper storage can extend shelf life by 30–50% (Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2020).

3. Moisture Management

Excess moisture accelerates spoilage; too little causes wilting. Using paper towels, cloth wraps, and humidity-controlled drawers keeps vegetables crisp and nutrient-rich.

4. Avoid Washing Until Use

Even though DeliverX vegetables are pre-washed, additional washing before storage can promote microbial growth.

5. Airtight Containers & Rotation

Store pre-chopped vegetables in ventilated containers. Follow first-in-first-out rotation to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

With DeliverX’s purified produce and correct storage practices, your vegetables remain fresh, nutrient-rich, and safe, turning every meal into a healthy, worry-free experience.
