How many times have you found yourself having to face acceleration ripening of fruit and vegetables in contact with the air: the natural alteration of these foods is caused by rapid dehydration which spoils their freshness. To overcome this inconvenience, we have a piece of advice for you that will solve this big problem, with a saving time and money.
The ideal would be to have a canteen, a cool place where you can "store" fruit and vegetables without necessarily having to protect them with plastic bags that are difficult to dispose of. Unfortunately, not all homes are equipped with this type of "pantry". But don't despair, there is a way and a few small ones do-it-yourself trick that you can safely put into practice.
First of all you have to pay attention to how you store food. . Some vegetables don't get along well with certain types of fruit and viceversa. Apples, for example, like melons, bananas and pears, contain a Ethylene gas in degree of deterioration of vegetables. In addition, it must be taken into account that some types of fruits and vegetables are sensitive to cold, therefore they must be stored with caution.
Precisely for this sensitive category, from citrus fruits to some vegetables, a cool place like the cellar would be ideal. So, how to remedy the lack of such a space? It's possible recreate the same environment with a method that yes, it requires some work, but first of all with some simple steps and a small investment.
Once you have harvested the fruit and vegetables from your garden, to protect them from the cold, or before the purchased vegetables risk rotting, you can take advantage of a underground storage for do-it-yourself vegetables, created by digging a hole in the ground and inserting a metal waste container or even better, a wooden barrel.
You will have to insert the body of the container in its almost totality, leaving out only a few centimeters. Around the area where the lid will go, leaving some space, raise - all around - a sort of earth barrier that acts as a protection from the water, a protection that will be surrounded - on the outside - by a drainage channel. Conclude with a rain cover on the top.
It is your job to always keep the storage area clean, making sure that nothing is decomposing: as we said, some types of fruit accelerate the breakdown of the vegetables they come into contact with. The ideal would be to have two "baskets" of separate storage, according to the rules listed by us and so you will have your fresh products throughout thewinter.
