Manufacturers of household appliances, refrigerators in particular, develop and implement all sorts of innovations to make the lives of modern people even more comfortable.
This is how freshness zones and other containers for storing fruits, vegetables and other supplies appear. But there are a couple of nuances.
Once having filled the "bins" in the refrigerator with vegetables and fruits, housewives are surprised to find that some of them are starting to rot. And then one of two things comes to mind: either the products were not sold fresh, or the freshness zone in the refrigerator is another trick of cunning marketers.
What is the reason?
The reason is that many vegetables and fruits are not intended to be stored in such places, especially together.
For example, carrots and beets are generally stored separately from each other.
Root vegetables are placed in separate ventilated containers or in bags with holes in them so that the vegetables can “breathe”. They must first be washed and dried.
As for fruits, apples, bananas, apricots - they are not stored together at all. The reason is the ethylene they emit, and this gas, as is known, promotes ripening.
And the bananas themselves will last longer if left at room temperature.
