Temperature
The temperature of the refrigerator is a very important step to take into account. Because, if it is too low, it will inevitably tend to spoil your fruits and vegetables. So remember that the highest temperature in the refrigerator is that of the drawers, reaching on average 10°C.

Another very important tip that will allow you to keep fruits and vegetables longer is to clean the refrigerator drawers where you store these products once a week.
Never forget that these compartments are conducive to the formation and proliferation of bacteria.
Therefore, constant cleaning could be helpful in eliminating bacteria and thus preventing food spoilage.
Paper bags
It is also advisable to always store fruits and vegetables in paper bags: they will not only promote good air circulation, but they will also effectively protect your products.
Warning: avoid plastic bags, which on the other hand tend to encourage the formation of humidity.
However, if you have no other choice and only have plastic bags, you can always make small holes in them to let air through.
Throw away rotten produce
If you notice rotten produce in your refrigerator, don’t wait too long to throw it away.
Indeed, they could easily cause other foods to rot.
Therefore, to prevent your food from rotting quickly, we strongly advise you to clean your fridge at least once a week!
Caution
Avoid using or eating moldy fruits and vegetables, as they are loaded with bacteria and can be dangerous to your health.
