HEALTH TIPS - FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Selecting fresh foods while shopping is your first step in maximizing the amount of nutrition you get from your purchases; since few of us shop daily for fresh food, how you store what you buy is important. Many highly nutritious foods lose a large portion of their nutrients during storage.

Use fresh fruits and vegetables as quickly as possible after purchase. If you cut up fresh fruit or vegetables to eat as a snack, store pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Store all fruit and vegetables cut up or not in the refrigerator to retain nutrients as long as possible.
