How to properly deal with vegetables

Nowadays, the refrigerator is a totally necessary appliance in any home and it is believed that it is vital to preserve all the food without losing its properties. Nothing is further from reality, this is not entirely true. Something that many people do not know and that we know in Shybari thanks to our many years of experience working with top quality vegetables, is that introducing a vegetable in the fridge makes it lose its flavor and aroma little by little.

There is a lack of common knowledge in our society about refrigerated vegetables. It is usual to think that it is necessary to keep them in the fridge to maintain the freshness of each vegetable and that this delays the process of natural decomposition of food. However, the ideal would really be to hold the vegetables without refrigerating as long as possible, in some fresh and well-aerated area, in this way their flavor or aroma will not be deteriorated. Although it may still look good, it does not mean it retains all its nutrients.

Now that we know that not all vegetables tolerate the cold well, we have to learn which of them deteriorate with low temperatures. For example, it is not advisable to put tomatoes, bananas or avocados in the fridge, as it clearly damages their interior and directly affects their texture and flavor. On the other hand, spinach is dehydrated in the refrigerator and should keep its moisture. Zucchinis are best stored in a dry place because they also suffer the effects of cold.

Now that you know which vegetables it is best to keep away from the fridge, you can now enjoy all the flavor of our Mediterranean desires.
