Health Tips: In today’s busy lifestyle, we often cut vegetables and keep them in the fridge to save time. We think this will keep them fresh, but this is not true! Some vegetables’ benefits are reduced if cut and kept in the fridge; in some cases, they can even be harmful!
Let’s know which are those vegetables:
Radish: If radish is cut and kept in the fridge, it loses its taste and nutrition. Some people also complain of stomach aches after eating it.
Turnip: Turnip should also not be cut and kept in the fridge. This spoils both its quality and colour.
Onion: If the onion is cut and kept in the fridge, a strange smell comes into it, and it is not worth eating.
Tomato: Tomatoes contain a lot of water, so if cut and kept in the fridge, they rotate quickly, and a foul smell starts.
So what to do?
Always buy fresh vegetables and use them immediately after cutting them.
If you have to chop vegetables, store them in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
But remember that this method is only for a short time; do not keep chopped vegetables for a long time.
